After 15 years of nearly daily use the main mill motor on my industrial hobbies mill is done.

The original name/information plate on the motor is pretty much unreadable.

Has anyone replaced...

I recently purchased two identical 600 oz/in DC servo Motors from Keling. [I had ourchased many items from them in the past and always found them to be responsive, ship promptly, etc.]

After...

I didn't change a thing in the program and now verything is back to normal. Very wierd. I am taking a day off from my regulaer job to make sure that it is actually "fixed" so that my son can run...

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure the program is written in incremental mode. Now here is a twist. I have a hobbyCNC profile in Mach. Teh program with G91.1 code loads fine with the hobby cnc profile. ...

Is it possible that the setting affecting when two lines are near each other are considered continuous have changed? Where could I find that setting?

I don't actually know. I have been using lazyCAM and inserting G42 and G41 as appropriate. Can someone poitn me to explination of the difference so I can see which one was generated.

Still, the...

OK. When I replace G91.1 with G90G80G49 teh programs work again. Why would G91.1 suddenly have issues?

I have loadede a more recent version of Mach with no change. The program is cut and pasted. Mach highlights line N335 when it it gives the error. I think line 12 is just the twelth line from the...

Boy I sure I hope somebody out there ca n help me.

I have been using Mach 3 for several years. My programs are all proven and have been working for years as well.

Yesterday the machine...

I'm running Windows XP Home.

My earlier installation with Windows 2000 worked fine. I upgraded to Windows XP and now I can't get "Motor Tuning" under the Config tab to come up. All the other...

Nope, that's not the problem.

With kernal speed set at 25K in ports and pins I still get the "pulsing too fats" when performing the driver test.

The compuer also locks up when I select a...

Change where? Ports and pins?

The diagnostic page pulse frequency starts out at about 99K, but goes to 130K soon after.

I checked the ports and pins page, set the kernal speed to 60K (that was my first observation of the...

I would like to first give thanks for the internet and all the nice people out htere willing to help.

Problem: When I run the Mach driver test in the field pulse rate I recieve the message...

I recieved help from the makers of the I/O board - CandCNC. They have a profile for their mini-I/O board posted on their Yahoo site. After properly installing the profile I was ready to go.

Mr. Gypsy,

I think I figured it out. When we installed Mach 3 on your machine we didn't click "lazy cam." the other programs were pre-clicked.

How did I figure this out you ask? I loaded...

Thanks, will do.

Hellow all,

Is there a switch that turns off program editing capability under some profiles? My new Servo profile runs my programs written for my stepper motors just fine. However when i try to...

Is there a mach profile out there somewhere for the G320 gecko drives and the mini I/O breakout board?

If not, does this make sense?

Thanks Himy,

I did a little more reading after the post and came to the same conmclusion, but I'm very glad to get teh confirmation.

I decided on one fo these...

I have run Mach 3 using two 800 mghz Dell boat anchor PCs for a couple of years with no problems.

According to Artsoft Mach can not be run on a laptop because of the power saving features built...

No. Nothing that reckless. The common on drive 2 came loose while I was testing. I had all three drives hooked uop at the time.

The lesson learned - test one drive at a time.

I think I have experienced a $360 failure.

Drive 1: The problem I was having earlier was that the motor leads needed to be reversed. I checked all the wiring many times for proper polarity,...

Thanks,

I am bench testing the motor. I'll follow your guidance and test again this morning.

Does it matter if the other two drives are in fault mode while I test a single motor?

Rick

Thanks 123cnc

I hooked up my parallel cabel turned on the power and tried to get the motor to move. I hadn't changed my Mach 3 motor tuning from the previous stepper settings. I assumed the only...

Hello all,

having spent much more time than I expected on the mechanical opart of an IH mill conversion I'm finally ready to wire up my controller. This is my first servo system.

I have three...

Thanks guys. It niether of those ideas gears or wrenching teh spindle occured to me. I assumed it would be like the mini-mill. A bar or something would slide into a hole.

The IH install...
