Well it depends on a variety of conditions:
1) It verymuch depends on the surface finish you plan to hold - wood with rough grain, plained, smooth plastics etc.
2) The O ring material.
3) Cutting...

Hi yachtlover, would be so kind to forward Reger Webb's email address as I need some advise regarding Laser CNC.
THANKS

Hi Goemon, what is your objective for eliminating vibrations? Is it because (1) of imprecission during machining or is it (2) because of the noise generated? If it is 1, then I think you should have...

Hi Christian,
I understand that writing plugins is a challenge for people such as us and that would be a hurdle, however as long as the CAM software is stable and reliable (such as Mach 3) it...

Hi Christian,I think it would be interesting to do so as this would be clearer for all viewers, however weather if it's worth your time is entirely up to how much the system meets your requirements,...

Hi Christian, sounds interesting. Would love to see a video of this.

Hi Russ and Al, thanks for the input. After further consideration, I decided that since I wouldn't have enough outputs on the HDBB2 boards anyway, it would be better to connect all outputs to one...

Hi Russ,
thanks for the input, agreed but what I meant was the optocoupler circuitry being supplied by a higher voltage while still operating the relays by connecting to the 3 pins at the upper...

Hi Al,
I think so as well but thought maybe these would be tolerant enough, anyway I still have an alternative to connect it to the UC300-5LPT motion controller which has a 5V supply on each of the...

Hi To all,
I'm in the process of slowly building my 5 axis CNC router and have started wiring the control box. In order to control pneumatic valves and relays. I'm using an 8 channel relay module...

marting:


1) Are you referring to those black wires connecting all the limit switch positive and negative pins in this picture?...

Oh! and in case you'll consider installing a pneumatic cylinder, you have ample space to fit it in on the sides, just one thing you should put a pressure regulator on it to set it's push at approx...

Hi Christian,
If I may give you some advise from experience:
1) I don't think that the way you wired the limit switches are not of the most ideal setup, i.e having common positive and negative...

Thanks Guys, but none of the two seem to have them off the shelf, however I managed to find from PLC Center MRO Inventory and Industrial Repair Service - PLCCenter.com ..... well it seems like they...

Hi, I'm searching to purchase brushes for my Sanyo Denki DC servo motors. I have 4 in total, each taking 4 brushes. These are as follows:

2 motors Type: U730-012E

Hi Chris, I just saw this post, so since it has been a while you posted this, do you still need the tuning programm? I think I have it somewhere in the archives, I just need some time to find it. If...

Nice Build there Chris!!! Can't wait to see your work finished. Well done.

Hi Angaeng, I too am considering to use CNCdrive as they look quite sturdy and up for the job. I have also had alook at Granite devices but way too expensive. Is there anyone on the forum who can...

Hi to all, I have a similar problem with using the drag knife gadget in Aspire 4. I'm having some unusual behaviour when cutting a radius and am using Mach3 as a controller, an oscillating knife and...

Hi Ger, I have tried out what you suggested but to no avail, however I understood what was happening and realized (and apologize) that I have misled you. I open mach 3 through the KeyGrabber in which...

Hello Guys, I've been following this thread as I too am about to switch over to 2010 screen after installing a tool changer, well its not yet fully functional, but have already installed the 2010...

Hi to all you Guys!
Firstly I'd like to thank you for the feedback you have given me and secondly I like to let you know my progress so far. Well this week I've been setting up a separate PC to play...

Oh Yes, I almost forgot!! Meerkat, I've tried to download from the link (The Hossmachine Forum) you provided but could neither register as a member nor download anything. I'll be doing some more...

Hi Meerkat, thanks for the pointers, much appreciated. At the moment I am browsing around to see what options or capabilities there are, in terms of ease of use in general. Since I am only using...

Hi Again, since then, I managed to find Mach Blue and will be installing Mach3 on my design PC and mess around on this to get the feel of it.
Thanks

Hi Guys, it's been quite a long time since I last posted as I have grown comfortable with changing tools in between one cut and another. Now I have set my mind to do some serious upgrading with both...

Hi to all you folks out there!
After having built my first 4 axis cnc router a couple of years ago, I am gathering technical information and materials for my second 5 axis build. I already have most...

Hi Gerry,
I've just had a look at your Mach3 2010 screenset and looks very neat and composed. I would like to know if you have or if there is the possibility of showing the A and B axis DRO. This...

Hi From my calculations you should be fine, although with 1000VA you are just above minimum requirement, I would opt for 1500VA in case you would need the power particularly with servos. The...
