I'm probably going to be replacing the 1200t on a lathe I just bought. It Powers up fine but I'm getting an error msg saying spindle not in gear. I can turn the spindle on using the vfd control so...

Don't think it was mine I didn't have a hartford head on mine. Just noticed that. :)

flyeribe, Where in Canada are you? I sold an identical MOOG Hydapoint like that many years ago to a guy in the Pickering Ontario area. Anyway here is the video I took way back in the day with my high...

A guy I knew was driving the knee on his mill with 2 large air cylinders to counter balance the weight taking alot of the load off the Motor. He was also using servos.

Hey guys can someone guide me on how to properly wire this together? I've followed the wiring diagram suggested but no luck. I get proper LED output when trying to jog an axis on the bob (I'm using...

Did you end up figuring out how to wire it?
I'm having the same difficulty.

Wondering if someone could help me out. I need to make one last part to finish the restoration of a Sears Atlas 12" lathe for my dad. I'm looking for the Diameter and the length from shoulder to...

Chris, when you press the page up and page down key does the Z axis move up and down? Do you have the settings set like this attached Pic? 349194

Yes you're allowed to post your video and pics. Upload the video to youtube and post the link. What break out board are you using? Pin numbers may vary depending on your board. Proma-Elektronika -...

Are you at least getting the LEDs going up and down on the THC when in Test mode? If you are, Try toggling the active low to a check or X on the THC up & down make sure you have the correct port#...

I can't help you with a wiring diagram but did you try flipping 2 of your 3 phase wires?

The stepping I believe can be tuned using the Hysteresis. I think you can dial it down until it moves smooth. A slow accel tuning on your Z axis motor setting will also cause this.

Thanks for confirming that Jim!

Can you use a T100M machine torch with a Powermax 1250 plug and play without changing any of the connector's pinout? The hand torch wire colours and pins are in a different configuration but don't...

I was trying to use an SSR to turn on a Router. The G540 did not like it.

I have spent countless hours trying to get an SSR to work properly with the G540. It worked sometimes and then would cause weird problems. Sometimes it would freeze the PC among other glitches. I...

Did my 1st cut on the ar400 today. Was waiting for a 1/2 to 6mm adapter sleeve for the V carving bit I had. Cut perfect with no issues.

Just buy them on Ebay that's what I do. 2800mm would seem uncommon to me you can probably find 3000mm easier.

I just finished retrofitting this machine to mach 3 control. You will need artpath if you want to use Omega to run it. I do like Omega and use the software with my Edge/hs15 but for running a cnc...

Spent 1/2 the day today trying to figure this out and I think I've solved the problem. The G540 doesn't like my Cydom Solid State Relay. I tried to use another new ssr and it seems to piss it off...

I had the machine configured and everything seemed like it was working just fine. The G540 was bought from Automation Technology Inc (March 2012) just before the rev 8 came out and Mariss said it was...

Hi Larry, I got it installed but there were a few setbacks. The VFD won't run on single phase and the table setup is less than ideal. I plan on rebuilding it this summer and finally put it to work....

Bought a LCTHC from Viper Plasma and Can't get this thing to work. I hooked it up as the manual says and can't get the test mode to do anything. I removed all the wiring to the THC and ran power only...

Made this for less than $5 works perfect. 2 set screws are adjusted on the back plate to align in the 2 countersink holes on the front plate. 2 jam nuts are used on the back plate to keep the set...

Hoping someone can clarify this for me. I can get a t60m machine torch brand new locally for a 1/4 of the price of what it would cost me to get the new MRT torch. Hypertherm manual says that the T80m...

You got father than I got. I read in the instructions " ARC output (also known as “Arc Okay”) is activated when plasma ignition is detected. Route and configure for a software input. Not required to...

If you notice in the instructions they circle the Maxcl mode but there is no check in the box. Don't know if you figured it out but Leave it unchecked. Did you get your THC working yet?

I don't know the size they used on your machine. You should post it maybe someone can give you a link. The only source I know off the top of my head is this one here: OpenBuilds Dual V Wheel Kit -...

Steel on aluminum is a NO-NO switch those out for a Plastic Delrin V groove wheels ASAP before your tubing disappears!

There aren't any photos to really look at on the robotkut website. Are they really running bearings on an aluminum surface?
