If there are more on the machine, you may can get some info off of them. The main difference is npn or pnp. Then thread size and voltage. Most will work on 24v dc, but I have seen some that will...

Ebay is a crap shoot. I buy leadshine stuff from these people. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Motors in the 900oz range should do you fine.
The Y and Z seem pretty straight forward. Swap new motors in with the same mounting pattern. On the X you might try to mount a motor on each side on the inside of the plate with the long belt. ...
What model multicam is it? I have rewired a few older multicam's and they have all had transmissions on both sides. The big issue with switching out motors is keeping the same size to fit the...
I just rewired an older camaster that had nc studio. It used 4 wires to the spindle and had 3 set speeds. One wire was the activation wire and touching that wire to each of the other 3 turned it on...
If you toss the controller they come with and rewire, they can be pretty good machines. They are decently built for chinese machines but I don't see how they get the prices they do for them.
I am thinking about removing a working fagor 8035 with 3 each of glentek 1000 watt servo's and drives. Can anyone tell me what I could expect to sell the parts for? I like the patriot freedom that...
FMT freedom patriot 4x8. Manual 8kw spindle, Vac table set up. Asking 19k but would also be willing to sell the Controller, drives, motors, and all wiring for 7k Everything works fine. There is...
I sent you a pm with my info.
If you have an input changing when you push the switch, it is probably ok. Sometimes with a power failure I have seen files get messed up. If you send me your phone #, I can probably get you going....
They have free tech support if you bought it new. If you bought it used, pm me your numter and I'll try to help. First off there is a drop down menu to see all of the inputs. With that area open,...
Start swapping parts. Swap the drives and see if the issue changes. Also remove the motor from that axis and see if it moves freely or if something is wrong there. Steppers usually don't fail, so I...
I have a 4x8 patriot on ebay for sale. It is a very well built machine. Mine has an aluminum vac bed with t slots for clamping, so I'm sure that would still be an option on a new one. And the guy...
If you need user forums to help with questions, Camaster is the better choice of those 3. Shopbot is a cheaper built unit, but they used to have an education discount. They also have a good user...
I do have an axyz and helped repair and program another one in town that was broken down. I actually converted mine to Wincnc control. Whether it is the axyz software that converts it to a toolpath,...
The machine will not run on a dxf. You need to use vcarve to create a TOOLPATH with the correct post processor for your machine. The machine runs the toolpath. It sounds like you need someone...
That seems expensive for used. If it's your first machine, add in support cost. Price it all out new and compare. Find a few shops using that same machine and visit with them. What do they like...
It depends on the price you are at. I prefer used, but I can fix them myself. Lifetime tech support is only offered to the original owner. If that is important to you, get a quote from shopsabre...
After you changed direction in the software did you click save?
Another way around it is each motor should have two pairs of wires going to it. One pair to each coil. Reverse one of the pairs and...
First I would swap the signal wires from wincnc and make sure the step and direction signals are doing what you expect. If that's the issue you can rewire it and use different ports. Talk to Ben if...
I have had both Laguna swift, and shopsabre 9648. The laguna is built good, but I would swap the controller. In fact, you could replace the controller on yours if you could get by with the 4x8. I...
SOLD, SOLD, SOLD,SOLD
The pk299 was not a shopbot alpha. Anyway, asking on the centroid forum would be best. Leadshine drives will be much smoother than gecko. Torrid power supplies perform better than switching...
I have a used multicam for sale and have had two different guys with the cncrp pro machines looking to upgrade to a stiffer machine. Coming from a machine shop type of machine, I think you may be...
The motors are in the 900 in oz range so I have plenty. The little thing is very solid, strong, and straight. I guess I'll pony up for some ball screws. Maybe replace the lead screw on the z that...
First, I have a multicam and a axyz machine in my shop, so this is not a real "need". I have rebuilt, repaired, bought and sold several machines. I ran across a set of round linear shafts and...
It is called a 4x8 but has about 6 inches extra in both the x and y axis available. This mahcine is offered WITH WARRANTY. All new drivers and Centroid Acorn Control system. Machine is controlled...
There is no rotory hooked up to the controller so it is wired wrong. Follow the wires coming from the x and see if they plug into the X driver. The four wires going to the motors are two pairs. I...
Buy a good used mid level machine from a known brand. Custom machines are hard to sell. One day you will want to sell to either upgrade, or maybe cnc is not for you. The name brand machine will...
