Cool! Can't wait to get it back!

Hi Mike,

I ended up using a CNC4PC C32 Break out Board with a Smooth Stepper. I also used the CNC4PC Viper Connector Boards, so far so good. I also have a VFD I am using, I haven't set that...

Larry,

I tried my office computer, same thing. Can I mail it back to have you take a look at it? Also I will probably be ordering a spare drive as well!

Thanks.

Hey Larry,

So far these are my settings for the X and Y axis which have the 5M motors.

Kp = 350, i = 3, L=4, Kp=800 I think, and I have the jumper for the 4x Multiplier in as well.

They...

Anyone?

Hi Guys,

So I have everything hooked up, control power is good, I have communication with the drive, and I started to tune them. My power supply is giving the card 126V DC.

I start with the...

Problem solved for now, Thanks for the Help Larry!

Hi Guys,

(Larry I left a message on your machine)

I am pretty much 95% done with my Matsuura retrofit, I plugged 12VDC power into the Viper 200 (I believe its a 200F), got a solid green light...

Email Sent as well.

Thanks for the help so far, I downloaded a bunch of manuals but didn't find that exact part yet. I also did get the machine to communicate with my computer using easy DNC, but it freaks out and gives...

Thanks for the response.

I guess I want to use the datum table because, I have a vice set up on my machine, and I want to use the corner as my reference. How do you get to the datum table?

Hey Guys,

Seems no one can help me so far.

Anyone have an example of putting in a G54 offset into thier ISO program for a TNC 2500 control. I have a vise set up in my mill, and I know the...

Hi Guys,

I just purchased a Bridgeport Interact 412X. I am using Solidworks 2011 to design parts, and I have the BobCam plugin ( I thought I would try it was very cheap, please no comments on...

Hey guys,

I am almost 99% done wiring up my Matsuura Retrofit. I have a CNC4PC C32 card, controlling 3 Viper Drives, a Baldor Drive for the spindle, ect. I am using the original Matsuura...

Thanks Al! I should be powering them up this weekend I hope.

Al! You are everywhere!

Here is what I am having trouble with. See Picture.

These are the instructions for the wiring:

"1st red for neutral, 1st black to 2nd red,
and the 2nd black to...

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I am also trying to make sure I wire the same power supplies correctly.

Jess,

Yes it "holds" the bearings into the metal housing, the problem is that everything was "epoxied" (looks like the original JB weld) together, the first encoder I disassembled it did not come...

Hey guys,

Been on here for a long time, had a wood cnc router, in the process of building two new ones, but I have a Matsuura MC-710V. Nearly 90% done converting it to Mach 3 control. I took...

Someone has to have an old copy of a Fanuc 5M operators manual! I have an old 1980 Matsuura MC710V which I want to convert and retrofit, but I am trying to get the machine to home it self.
...

Well thats what I thought, but i must have something wrong somewhere. Its ok I just did the scale Idea and that works out just good enough.

Thanks Gerry!


Andy

P.S. I will post a picture...

Sorry,

The problem is this. I go into meshcam, load the part in "mm" and when it compiles everything and I open it in Mach 3, the code is in mm but the machine seems to be thinking 100mm is 100...

Hey guys,

That is awesome, i have been following this for a little while now, with plans to put a 4th axis on my machine.

Would you mind sharing where you got the 2 "lathe" fixture ends? I have had no...

Sent you a message! I am in the Milwaukee, WI area, I look forward to hearing back from you.

I understand where you are coming from, for what i paid, and the time it saved me, i went with them, and they work great for me. I plan on ordering a bunch more for my larger machine.

The motor cables are about 1 ft long, but i bought the extension cables that he sells as well, and i think those were 12ft long, and they just work out so nice.

Looks good, i HIGHLY recommend the G540, and not to put any bad words to kelling, but Ahren over at CNCrouterparts.com, has the plug and play set up for the G540 and the motors, and let me tell you...
