I know it has been a while, but I got a lot done within the last couple weeks.
I got all the limit switches hooked up, and working! I ending up ordered different limit switches. I will go back and...

Got the spindle running over the weekend, and first thing I did was drop a vise on the table so I could cut my son's pinewood derby car. Had to move the mdf board around some to get the vise clamped...
Ok, so after hours of hair pulling, and getting no where. I hooked up to an identical spindle. Worked like a champ. So, I guess my spindle is busted... Dope. thanks for all the help guys. I ordered...
Got it! Neutral connected to ground is a no no. I will try again tomorrow, if my kids let me. Thanks a lot for all the info!
:-( No Joy
I connected pin 4 at the spindle, opened it up, added a wire to actually connect pin 4 to the spindle. Ran pin 1,2 and 3 to the VFD and pin 4 to my star ground. Checked continuity,...
Sorry for not giving any updates for a long while. I did take a quick video the other day of the machine running some g-code I used on a previous machine. It was a Pterodactyl 3d puzzle I made for my...
2 independent supplies. So I should probably ground them independently.
I has some new speakon cable laying around. Hence the 12 gauge. It fit.
All my steppers and drivers are grounded (star ground point) they are 110v. Can I ground the 220v to that as well. I am a Mechanical Engineer, not an electrical. :-) I only took one electrical class...
Single phase input, it's the wj200-022sf. I'm in North America. Running the VFD from my 240v dryer oultet, it's a 30amp breaker. 10 gauage wire all the way to the VFD.
I'm at work and the VFD is...
Did you ever figure this out? I am getting a constant e30.3 error on my hitachi wj200-022SF. And it is driving me crazy!!! Please help!
Thanks

You would think after setting up 3 different machines it would be easier to get the ESS talking to the computer. I guess 3 hours is good for wiring up the 72V power supply, all 4 stepper motor...
Well, with not being home for 9 days around Christmas, I didn't get much done. I did have a couple hours to work on drilling enough holes in the aluminum gantry to drain both my batteries, and I...
Got the epoxy laid down, turned out pretty well, I am happy with it. I wasn't going to bolt the rails onto it until it has sat for a week. But as of this morning I couldn't scratch it with a...
Thanks. for the heads up. Just heading out to go set up for the epoxy. I will try to make sure I have more than 1/4"inch this epoxy. I should probably double check my math....
And in reference to...
Going with a 2x2 and 3x3 frame mix would have been a little cheaper, but It was only a $120 difference in price. So I figured I would go the route with less hassle. I have welded up 2x2 frames...
I was going to enclose the bottom, add a 2x2 from leg to leg, and put some shelving in for storage, and drop a brace in the four corners. It is super solid at the moment. I went and ordered some West...

So I actually made the legs 6 inches taller, and with the leveling feet on it they add about another 3 inches in height.
I started my second build over the weekend.
It is a helical rack and pinion drive with contoured linear rails, using Gecko drives and 4x1232Oz motors
Here are some of the things I got so far:...
Can I ask how old it is? And if it has Spindle control capabilities. I am trying to find the manual. But my work blocked cncroom... Urgh. Also, where are you located? Thanks
Bob
I just put in my second order with linearmotionbearings2008 on eBay. http://stores.ebay.com/linearmotionbearings
I was happy with the round profile rails I ordered, and there balls crews. I ordered...
I know this thread is a little old, but I am about ready to start my second CNC build, and was looking at the same helical rack and pinion set that you have. How have they been holding up? I would...
Don't know if this will help, but I had this issue for a long time. This might be more of a NO problem not an NC limit switch problem, but I know how you feel and I remember being willing to try...
Did you decide on the servos from automation technologies? I have been banging my head against the wall trying to decide what I think about those servos. Not very many opinions on them.
Awesome work!
What size servos motors did you use on all your axis?
This is by far the coolest 5 axis machine built from scratch I have ever seen. I am in the middle of designing a 5-axis...
