Got the DMC-1840 card. Put it into one of my old pc's and installed drivers. Although I'm still missing the cable and contactor board, can you send me your controller software you mentioned...

Picked up the DMC-1840. You previously linked to the phoenix contactor module, what is the difference between that and the ICM-1900? My understanding was that the phoenix contactor board is the...

Certainly wouldn't have that capability right now. I guess I'll be on the hunt for some parts and get back to you. You've been a great help so far.

Nah, rigid tapping would be nice but not necessary at this time. I'm not doing any production parts and just getting started in machining.

The sprocket on the spindle has a straight cut == timing sprocket?
Tensilkut says threading options were available for this machine and can be added later, but they haven't responded to any emails....

More pics. Looks like it does have the hall sensor connection.
The axis motors are ab34002-e1 and ab34000-e1, 325vdc. No dice on the drive. Oh well.

I'm not sure how I'll mount the encoder to...

Photos attached. I looked on all visible 5 sides of the motors and no name plates to be seen.

I was shopping around on ebay and saw this amp that should interface directly with the dmc-18x0 -...

That'd be great. I wasn't expecting such fast responses or options to upgrade the machine. I just put in an offer on the 1840. Once I get all the parts I'll be back!

The only limitation I have...

That doesn't seem too expensive at all. My quick searches showed other galil cards at $1400+.
I hadn't thought about an axis for spindle control. The spindle motor is currently an 80v dc motor...

You were correct to assume it had servos. I'm used to seeing little gearbox servos like the ones on an rc plane but I looked up cnc servos and they are a larger form factor. I just looked at the...

Thanks for the reply!


It runs on win98. To me, it seems the tensilathe program was written to be user friendly and only cut tensile test specimen without the need for a machining background. ...

Extreme newbie here, other than college and a 3D printer, never messed with any CNC equipment.

Picked up a CNC Tensilathe that just makes tensile test specimen. It has a Galil DMC-1020 card...
