    Re: Upgrade of Huanyang vfd

    You're talking 1000's for one of those motors. I agree if I had the cash I'd buy a Haas spindle or even better a VMC 😂😂

    I'm just trying to squeeze as much as possible from a cheap spindle for as...

    I do believe that us what the V1000 is. I'm not 100% how it all works though but they say vector control is the new way to control motors instead of frequency variable drives which I think is what...

    Re: Upgrade of Huanyang vfd

    Yeah I'm aware that the water cooled can run slower bit the torque is useless thats why I never got one. I am just wondering if a better VFD would give better torque that the cheap Chinese one at the...

    Proximity limit switches

    Hi,

    Im currently building a cnc mill. I've been looking at proximity switches for the limit switches and I can only find 6v to 36v for a reasonable price on eBay. The controller I am using is a...

    Ok! Thanks! I think I'll stick with the UC300 for the time being. I have heard that UCCNC performs well if not better than mach3 also so I think I'll give that a go.

    Thanks for your input lads!...

    The drives are ASD-B2-0721-B

    Obviously I'd be looking for the cheapest and reasonably easiest option.

    Re: Control board for servos

    Hi,

    Sorry I didn't mention the servos come with there matching amplifiers.

    These drives do have step and dir inputs bit I know that using the UC300 it wouldn't be a entire closed loop system....

    Hi,

    I'm new to servos and have only used mach3 and open loop steppers. Im based in the UK and am looking for a control board to run some delta servo motors. I currently have a uc300 usb board of...

    Re: Hybrid stepper or servo system for uc300

    Hi Gerry, thanks for your reply.

    Sorry I don't think the link to the servos worked properly. I can see a servo 4Nm with a nema 34 frame for £325 and has step dir inputs.

    Hybrid stepper or servo system for uc300

    Hi all,

    I currently am running a uc300 usb with mach3 and I have open loop steppers. This was fine for a homemade small router I had built as a prototype but I am now building a new heavy duty...

    Re: Adding encoder to stepper motor

    Yeah I can imagine it got pretty complicated pretty quick! You'd need the signals to have some sort of timing signal with it to make sure that they kept in sync or you'd find that the computer would...

    Re: Adding encoder to stepper motor

    Hi,

    Very clever way of using the arduino to be the brains behind a closed loop system.

    I know it'll cost more but wouldn't just getting a hybrid driver which counts the pulses from the encoder...

    Re: Adding encoder to stepper motor

    Sorry to bring up an old thread.

    I am looking at doing something similar like this. I'm wondering if you got it working? Or if it's even possible. I am assuming as long as the signal pulses from...
