I would recommend our new Ajax/Centroid Oak motion control solution. It is capable of Velocity (-10 to +10) and Precision control of third party or Centroid Drives, all in using a fully closed loop....

Colin,

Input 10 typically represents a spindle fault -though this can be inverted. I can't tell if it is or not without a report.

Also, you mention you measure 24VDC at the input. That's ok...

There are several causes for the "Full Power w/out Motion. Please see the attached for the section copied out of the manual. If you send a report (F7-Utilities, F7-Report) to [email protected] we...

I can help you with the computer specifications. The motherboard is RAID compatible. While the computer does not have on-board WiFi it is a simple matter of installing either a PCI/PCI Express...

As of 9/24/2012 all ALLIN1DCs being shipped are now capable of running motors up to 160VDC (nominal).

Now you can directly rectify 110 VAC with our cap and bridge pack eliminating the expensive...

You can use a low power (110VAC) or high power (220VAC) setup with the ALLIN1DC. The Capacitor and Rectifying Bridge we ship will be set up for the correct system. It takes 83VAC and will give you...

These are the complete dimensions and specifications for the encoders that Ajax provides.

Is that a Servo3IO? I can't quite make it out from here.

Dan,

I have attached a schematic for the HNC cabinet. Are you planning on adding a new Centroid Control to get the machine back up?

Please see attached document for MPG pin assignments.

Michael is correct. Knee mills are notorious for loose and shaky limit switches on the quill. Due to the confined space a heavy duty switch like the X & Y is not possible.

As for digitizing...

Gary,

Full Power Without Motion is usually due to one of three things. 1.) Limit switch is tripped or noisy. 2.) DC servo power to the drive was removed. Here check the e-stop and DC power supply...

Gary,

Your M400 control is running DOS. DOS is what limits the file names to 8 characters. DOS also does not support USB. This contributed to Centroid's switch to a Linux OS, which is in use...

The AjaxCNC control supports a PS/2 mouse, but the driver must be installed first. Go out to the Linux prompt (<F10> Shutdown, <F6> System Prompt from the main menu) and type "addmouse". Type...

Hello,

A copy of the Installation manual as well as the wiring schematic can be downloaded from the AjaxCNC website under the Downloads page.

The current version of MDI does not allow for this, however, this feature is slated to be included in a future release and will operate similar to DOS where the UP arrow key will scroll through the...

Ben,

Hello. For an honest review with good points and bad, please check out the link below. I think this is exactly what you are looking for.

Colin,

Hello. Step and direction is not possible with our control as we only work with closed-loop servo technology.

The Centroid software runs outside of Windows in DOS. On a typical setup, the computer boots straight to the CNC software and not Windows. The CNC software must be exited before Windows starts up.

Brian,

Hello. AjaxCNC licenses and sells Centroid DC servo technology. We are selling the same hardware and software, directly to the end-user, in the form of a component-level CNC kit. AjaxCNC...

Kristen,

What motherboard/PC are you using for the control? The flash card and reader were fully tested before we shipped them to you, so they should be OK. When we see this kind of problem it...

Shizzlemah,

When using the Centroid control it is not necessary to use the M102 command. Simply set "Job Repeat" to "ON" and specify the number of parts you wish to make. The control will...

TR,

Hello. This error occurs when the operating system has become corrupt, possibly due to an improper shutdown of the PC. Just like Windows, Linux has operations going on in the background, and...

MillManm,

You do not need to change the encoder wiring at all with an Ajax system. The control does not care which direct the encoder reads, as long as it reads correctly and smoothly.

Just...

Scott_bob,

Hello. AjaxCNC would very much like to participate in the BPT shootout. Please send me the test program and I will get back to you with the results ASAP. If I can be of any...

For assistance setting up your control for networking, contact your dealer and he will be glad to help you...

HillBilly,

Hello. You can find a list of our supported G & M codes on our website at:

All of the g-codes you mentioned are supported by our control.

Terry,

The current Linux setup is not configured for a USB drive. The Windows version will be able to use a USB interface. The Windows version should be released by the end of the month. Mid...

Al, Hu & Intrusion,

You all are absolutely correct. A control manufacturer SHOULD supply a complete package for an end user's particular application. By not taking the time and effort to supply...

Terry,

Hello. The 4th axis drive measures 6.75" x 9" x 2". We usually install it on top of the servo3IO if there is enough depth to the cabinet.

As for the motors, both our 29in-lb and...
