I would check your parameter settings on your VFD ang go from there.
It was working, but you need to confirm *how* it was working.
Maybe VFD is expecting a different type of speed signal than it is...

I think he has it sorted. It turns out that the anaspeed2 circuit was not calibrated from the factory, like the manual says.
I think something else was going on as well, but I can't determinne...
I'm trying to help someone (newbie) set up this combination , but I am 4000km away......
Its very hard.....
Currently he is getting 10V at AO and AG, on the MB3, all the time, no matter what...
Thanks Craig.
Yes, I use a ESS and MB3 BOB for cncroom. Very happy with it.
This person is an old, and a newbie pensioner so funds are tight.
He also wants to stay with Mach3 as he has a license...
A friend recently bought one of these and we have been trying to get it working ever since.......
I have tried everything I can think of to get it to communicate with a PC and read dozens of posts...
I tried lying to the software, but I didn't execute the cut as I was looking for evidence in the simulation. Maybe I was expecting too much. I didn't want to risk my pcb, but I think I should...
Yes, Autoleveller is definitely a game changer....a great tool.
Someone has suggested that each tool should be tested to find its exact characteristics so the settings can be set for that...
Thanks Craig,
That seems like very careful engraving to get excellent results.
The tools I got are 30 deg, 0.3mm tip.I am also clearing all of the copper off the PCB( for THIS job anyway ), so...
Thanks blinkenlight. That explains it pretty well.
I have heard someone say they run a test program for their tools to determine exactly the width of cut they get with each tool, so maybe I will...
Thanks, but thats the CopperCAM manual I was referring to.
It does seem a bit scant of detail.....Maybe Its just me....lol
Hi,
I have searched and Googled and not found answers. I even read the CopperCAM manual...lol
1. What is the purpose of the 'Margins' oprion in the Active Tools Window? Nobody seems to use...
Yes, the learning curve will be very steep, but if you work one problem at a time and persist, you should succeed.
You will save alot of money and have a nice starting machine at the end.
Not really....Just go and see the machine. Get him to demo as much as he can and go from there.
These machines are built to a price, but this one is miles ahead of where I started from a few years...
I think that is a reasonable deal and a good place to start your cnc journey.
Those machines have linear rails on all axis's which is good and the after market motion board is a good improvement e...
I'd also suggest that you, when time permits, terminate your wiring with good quality and correct sized crimp lugs.
A single loose strand can cause no end of problems
I wouldn't be using a laptop either. Not saying it won't work.....
First thing I noticed: For every job that uses a change in thickness of material, you have to edit the tool path ( if you want to change the depth of cut AND reset your Z zero height ( If you are...
Yes, I'll just have to it and see how it goes.
I am leaning towards the bits bring 0.1mm but as you say, it matters not too much.
I want to clear all the copper around the tracks, so I will buy...
Thanks hfbuis, I'll have a look at these.
Thanks. I assume I can use Autoleveller software to do this. I'll give it a shot.
Holes might work...thanks.

The software uses the angle and tip diameter to determine where the tool needs to be so you get the track widths and spacings you design.
I originally thought my tools were 0.5mm, but if I did use...
I bought my 6040 a few years ago and also bought various Vee bits that I have not used yet.
I want to try engraving some pcb's, but the labels on the bits have fallen off, so I don't know the angles...
5/2 way solenoid valves are used when one side of a device needs to be vented when the other side is pressurised, and vice versa.
That seems to be what is happening in the diagram, so I think it is...
Machine would be thick RHS steel, brazed together. Table would be 480 x 720 x 16 mm Ali plate. Table would move on long axis.
Thank you sir.
Makes sense.
I am mulling over a moving table design and am wondering about the benefit vs effort/cost of using 3 rails on a moving table instead of the standard 2.
I have been told it might be a good idea, but...
Agree...What sort of crimper did he sell you Pete?
Mine are similar to these.

I assume that if a steel framed CNC Router, with machined surfaces, is to be painted, that the area under the linear rails is left naked,as it were, as the paint would make re-aligning the rails...
If you steppers are rated tp 3A. you should have your drivers setup to deliver 3A. or as close as you can get. You will be sacrificing torque andwill be more prone to loosing steps, if you don't....
