    Re: SkyFireCNC

    Hi Asuratman,

    I received your email and checking the stuff list. controller box is all done and several small items seems out of store now. I will send you an email for details. Will send out the...
  2. Re: Some observations of my Skyfire SVM2 spindle drive

    Thank you John for your prompt feedback! I have been keeping eye on this issue since I knowing your problem. And It's such a relief to hear your SVM-2 works normal now.

    Top 250VAC is too high for...

    Re: SkyFireCNC

    Hi hab,

    I just saw your thread here and really appreciate what you are doing for us! I will update your machine progress here from time to time and if I have other threads next, I will put a link...
  4. Re: Some observations of my Skyfire SVM2 spindle drive

    Hi Ian,

    Yes keep the long term support and upgrades even to the earliest version is important. I have all versions of designs documented and spare parts available, So I can provide long term...
  5. Re: Some observations of my Skyfire SVM2 spindle drive

    I have to tell you that it pretty much depends on the motor itself. BLDC motor is much complex in design and manufacture than AC motors. Many small tricks in its production affect its last...
  6. Re: Some observations of my Skyfire SVM2 spindle drive

    Hi John,

    I heard about your thread from a friend and I have not logged in the forum for a long time. As you guys can imagine, I'm drowned in the works of many subjects to improve my machines. I...
  7. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Congratulations Ian! finally get your big toy alive..LOL Really very happy for you!

    Enjoy it~ we will keep our support works :cheers:

    And thanks to Jan here also!


    Just for record that...
  8. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Thank you daniellyall, I will pay much attention to the power supply issue as you said. I can say that the key point of the VFD/VSD is the big capacitors and IPM module. VFD/VSD should use the...
  9. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Actually.. the ATC prototype in the picture I will run with 220VAC single phase. 3 phase is much easier and I provide also. The target is to let people be able to run a MINI industrial VMC but no...
  10. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi Ian, No problem. keep in touch with me and our support team and we will do our best to help run your SVM-0 up...lol

    In a word, everything is related to money.. I won't hesitate to invest to...
  11. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    lol. need to say that the point is not driving the carousel rotate, but the acceleration. We always hope the ATC work faster to save machining time as we are talking about an effective ATC machine....
  12. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    sorry Roger, I misunderstood what you mean. actually it's not very big one. about same size as NEMA34 motors.
  13. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi RCaffin,

    the machine casting frame totall weight is about 550kg, And the ATC is about 35kg, plus some tools it should be no more than 80kgs. So it will not trip sideway. and the total frame...
  14. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi Roger,

    Thank you. I will use 062 version then as you suggested.

    I don't have such a big factory yet but only share a small part there making the enclosures and storing them. Our current...
  15. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    good news Ian~ you have a significant progress there. LOL

    Every time you open MACH3 it will be at ESTOP status. and you should read a red message in status bar "connected to JNC-40M motion control...
  16. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Nice to see you ihavenofish,

    yes it's the new stage of "setup" and "build up service" for us now!

    I think anyway copying XML file directly to MACH3 is the best for Ian now. Many configuration...
  17. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    I use the version of 3.043.022. It seems ok for now. will try 062 as you suggested. thanks!

    I can do some hardware developments by myself but I'm not a software expert...The driver is made by the...
  18. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Ian, It's very good news to know you have much progress now. Actually it's very easy to load the English screen since you now can see the full MACH3 screen. click the menu "VIEW"----->"LOAD...
  19. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi Ian,

    It's pretty clear now that something must be wrong when you changed the original file "jnc driver for mach3.cnc" to "jnc driver for mach3.exe". If you did this correctly, the icon will...
  20. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Ian, Jan is working hard on making a guide PPT to show every step you need to do for you now. I'm sure he will help you out soon.

    Just read your latest progress and you said the even after...
  21. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    No Jeff, it's a 4000W SCR. because transformer is a inductive load, it should have 3x-4x design margin. the transformers I use are 400-800w, so this SCR should work well for SVM machines. And the...
  22. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi RCaffin,

    Yes. that's what I had not expected before.. So we had to take the voltage issue in consideration now. Should be no problem to upgrade.

    I'm sure the ACMC40-4 can work in Australia....
  23. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    I'm not sure if Ian's computer doesn't have graphic driver.. because if so, the resolution will be fixed to 800*600 by XP and not adjustable at all( if I remember right). I'm more worry about it's...
  24. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    during the time waiting Ian's new progress, I want to post the problems feedback from customers and the solution I take.

    1. electrical problem. We have two electric problems feedback now....
  25. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi justkeen18,

    USB-LPT cable usually can not work with MACH3. It's something specially for old printers. If you want the extra parallel port, you have to use a PCI interface parallel port card, or...
  26. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi handle,

    I simulated your problem on a PC with WINXP. I adjusted the resolution to 800*600 and it can still open MACH3 will its full screen. Only the screen details are very poor. so basically...
  27. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi Ian,

    I hope you have solved the screen resolution problem now. the default MACH3 screen resolution setting in my .XML is 1024*768. Probably your WINXP computer current resolution setting is...
  28. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi, you are welcome! I would be happy the discuss questions and make things clear here... Just have been too busy to talk much here in last months. I will post more here next to discuss with you...
  29. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    Hi mactec54,

    Thank you for attention on this subject. One thing I need to make it clear is that the USB driver is totally different from the break out board I posted before. The USB driver has...
  30. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    The 32bit system problem only limited to the earlier version such as on Ian's machine. The new versions controller card this year are able to support both 32bit or 64bit OS.. things always go forward...
