We have a lathe with a Fanuc OT control. Coworker was in the middle of setting up on it and the dislay went weird. Said system alarm on the top left of the screen and that was it. It was also...

Ok update time. The 108 has larger screws holding the wires on. Luckily I finally found the actual issue and got the original drive working. (Checked about 20 fuses but missed seeing 2. those of...

Ok I have a machine with an A06B-6055-H106 spindle drive that seems bad. We have another parts machine that has a A06B-6055-H108 drive. Visually and connectors they seem identical. Is there a...

I am doubting I will use it for the final control but it (An arduino) will probably be my choice for getting everything initially setup. After that will be figuring out what control best fits our...

My boss ordered pair of clearpath motors. Ill keep that board in mind. Still not sure which way I am gonna go for control. Once I get the drives hooked up ill figure that out. For basic operation it...

Well I have left work for the weekend but I did tear into it a touch more. Come to find out what I thought were LED's on the top are actually a pair of these....

We have a dead machine that I am fixing up. While I am waiting on new servos to get here I thought I would see if I could get the old pendant on it working. The issue is that the machine has been...

Yah. For now I am gonna get the motors in and hooked up before I figure out what control/software I am gonna use. And then wiring up the limit switches and figuring out how to interface the torchmate...

Just got the torque off the other motor and it is more. 685 Ncm (975 oz-in) Still within the realm of the clearpath motors.

The same nameplate is in the imgur album I linked just above the video. https://imgur.com/a/tUP37 The nameplate was laser etched and the etching is mostly faded however I went out this afternoon and...

I am liking the look of the clearpath servos. Just gotta make sure that they have enough power. I think they should so long as I don't try to go too fast. But Not entirely sure

I probably shouldn't reply but Ill try to address some of these.

Slightly considered steppers. Did not really think they were great but put them out as an option. I have never used them other than...

Well the current system is a very homegrown black box by somebody else with no documentation and wired up using bread boards. Which was ok while it worked but then it started acting up (At one point...

Last time we talked to delta tau they had no clue that you could even use gcode with this board which we had been doing since before I came here. They had no one still employed that had messed with...

Ok we have an old plasma cutter that has fubared motor drives. (I think the motors them selves are ok but I dunno if they are worth keeping.)

Do I need steppers or servos?
How do I figure out...

I might be picking these up and was wondering if anybody could recognize the connector from a poor photo. They do not come with wires and I wonder how much of an issue that would be? pardon the poor...

I have an issue with our laser. Some days it will cut just fine and other days it will not hardly engrave at all. Same material and settings. Same location on the cutting grid.

Cutting usually...

I have a Komo vr 804 tt router with a fanuc O-M control. We have set it up to cut timing screws but the way we have it means that it is somewhat of an open loop system and the feedrate has to be at...

Photos of the issues.

I recently had the battery go out in our smartcut with a fagor 8055t control. We have backups of the progams from what I understand but I still am getting errors. (See...
