That's right, Wayne, single ball screw at the centre of x axis.
Dear Neil,
Please elaborate the wiring connection, you mentioned in PM.
I need to know if I can use external SMPS for supplying the 5V to BOB, if so where should I connect the 0V. (I understand I...
Hi all,
I am starting this thread because I want to share my current project with you all and also need your help on connecting wires. It is a CNC router, intended to run on Mach 3 with MB02V6...
Hey I meant if you asked them details about bearings. I did ask Jcut people about bearings and they provided all the details. Nos. and type of bearings at both end etc.
Dear Viroy,
It's good to know that you have got yourself a good product. Could you provide details like which and how many bearings are there in the spindle? Also what is the warranty they provide...
Dear Stump,
No, I did not buy anything from salecnc, since I was too skeptical about them. I was then in contact with J cut ppl. They seem to be far better than salecnc, though not as cheap, but...
Hello guys,
Long time no see, please let me know if I can use two parallel port (for the sake of more I/O) in one PC with mach3 with hampering the reliability.
Also any other way to increase the...
Here we go again folks,
Eureka, eureka, eureka!!! My setup is running thru mach3. This is unbelievable. Just when I started to loose hope, it started running.
The problem was, my hardware...
Dear John,
I personally know the limitations of Kcam and benefits of Mach3, that was the reason that I had gone for Mach3 in first place. And I am going to do exactly what you said. i will try...
Eureka, Eureka, Eureka!!! Pardon my excitement, yesterday just out of curiosity, I downloaded kellyware's Kcam software. And guess what, my setup ran with it. Motor actually ran.
I tried running it...
Hello guys,
It seems I have come to a temporary dead end. And I have feelings that I won't be able to run the machine reliably thru parallel port. The time I have utilized behind getting this...
Dear Ken,
Thanks for updating. I am eagerly waiting for you to power it up. Please let us know all the details like main shaft run out, noise level at full rpm etc., so we can decide for...
@ Neil,
Sir, I am sorry for sounding like a moron but how do I know that I am overloading the port? Also how do I know whether the port has enough current? Btw parmon is short for parallel port...
Hi there,
Please share your thoughts on this one. My parmon shows pins 1 to 9 green (which can be changed to red by mouse click), pins 10 to 13 and 15 red (constant - can't change) and rest green....
Dear Neil,
I have managed to get the direction pin turn 0 to 3.6v in while jogging. Hardware was not connected. I checked directly on parallel port while jogging from Mach3. I think I still don't...
Hey guys check this out!!!
When I boot my PC the pulse and direction pins get constant 5v on them. As soon as i start the Mach3 the voltage drops to 0.66v. Then it remain in this state for rest...
I got a new PC today and guess what, it has 5 volts on all output pins of built in parallel port. I have checked the earthing and it is properly done. I have not even installed Mach3 in the PC. And I...
Dear Ken,
I am also looking for similar 1.5 and 2.2 Kw spindles.
Would you please share your opinion on quality of the spindles once you receive and use them?
Thanks.
Hello Everyone,
I am from India. I intent to buy a high frequency spindle (ER 20, 2.2 Kw, 24000 RPM) from Hongkong based salecnc.com, since they are very cost effective. The advertisement of...
Ok here is update.
Tomorrow I am gonna get another PC for Mach3, totally dedicated for this purpose. I hope its parallel port behaves better then my previous PC. I will also put a PCI parallel...
Dear Neil,
Here are the updates.
The problem seems to be the parallel port. I did the direction pin test but There is no 5v there. Only constant 2.5 to 3v on direction pins, even without pressing...
Dear Neil,
Relax mate. Mach3 is not generating pulses and I have no clue how to fix it. I checked the port address (resource tab values) with mach3 value. I have made the port EPP and enabled it....
Dear Neil,
I have tried but the motor is still dead no response. I have done the 5v thing but with no result. I think the mach3 itself is not generating signals. I am totally stumped.
Dear Neil,
I have somehow managed to changed the parallel port to EPP in bios. I will update the outcome later on. Meanwhile send in suggestion, if you have anymore.
Thanks
Dear Neil,
I have checked the parallel port, it is enabled and the resource tab has the same value as shown in Mach3 port setup. However in device manager, it refers LPT1 port as ECP printer port...
Dear Neil,
I have checked for the change in 5 volts, but there was no change in voltage as informed by you. I have a doubt, should i provide a separate earthing to the pins 18-25 or the body earth...
Dear Gerry,
I have been following Mach config pdf blind foldly to avoid any error or confusion. As per page 5-4, section 5.3.1 shows screen with these setting (2,3,4 for pulse and 6,7,8 for...
Dear Neil,
Please check my circuit diagram and confirm.
Thanks
Dear John and Neil,
Thank you both for your support. Please check my corrected circuit diagram, I have shown the +5v to opto. What I didn't understand was, where do I connect the negative of this...
Hello all,
Here is the copy of manual.
The retailer tells me I have to give precise 5V to opto connection.
Is that correct? will this make the motors run?
Thanks
