The first image is with a 10x probe. The 2nd and 3rd images are of a hold screen shot and a live (recurrent) screen shot with a 1:1 probe.

I have been trying to tune my Gecko G320X drives for a while now and really need to get back after them. I have them tuned by ear currently and that is not nearly good enough to successfully run a...

I have been able to get my axis moving however they will only move enough to get the line count to go to the fault mode at the drive. I am sure I have something in setup goofed up but wanted to run...

I turned HEDS on after I reverified the wiring from the encoder and it no longer faults as soon as the power supply for the encoder is connected however it still takes off.....I have no idea why. Is...

Any thought on why it faults when power is supplied to the encoder?

My setup is a little weird and I have to wonder if that is the root cause of my issue. I have an external power supply for my encoders as they require more than the G320X can provide. I have gone...

I am getting really close to having my conversion ready to run but have run into a lack of information and was hoping I could get some help. This is a 1983 J330 model. I have a connector coming out...

I have everything wired correctly and am able to pass all of the setup testing however due to my configuration I need to do what I will call a dry run with a lower voltage power supply. When I do...

I haven't got that far according to the setup so I have not applied power to the armature.

I tried to reverse the +5V and it's ground and the drive would not power. I have an E-mail in to Gecko and am waiting for a response.

I wonder why I am getting a non-reset-able fault at the drive. I have verified wiring to A and B and it's all good. I get to step 3 and am stuck with setting up the drives. As soon as I remove the...

I have searched and searched for info regarding the anot and bnot connection and where to put them with my G320X and have not found an answer so hopefully I can get some guidance here. I am...

I am working on converting a Tree Journeyman J330 to use a new Mitsubishi VFD and MACH III for control with Gecko G320X driver cards and new power supplies. I have the VFD programmed so it works...

It is ETHM (VFD displays ETHN) sorry about that. So far as the applied motor selection is there a good way for me to tell what method is going to best suit my motor. This is a older unit that I am...

I tried to wire direct and the motor is very nice, quick, quite and no issues. I used the same test to half ways verify wiring to the motor as these wires are basically not accessible with the way...

So now I am buggered. The guy that I had helping me (the brains of the operation) has gotten busy at work and has been unable to help me for about a month. I have been struggling to get this...

I am working on converting my J330 and have the original parts available for sale. I have the main board, driver set, VFD, power supplies, control panel and ect. Please get in contact if you are...

I have all of the conversion parts purchased other than the software. I am reusing the back panel and that will house everything other than the PC that will run it which will go where the driver...

So I am planning to gut the entire thing however I have one hold up in the power supplies/supply for the Gecko drivers that I plan to use. Here is what I am planning on using...let me know if I have...

Thanks for the info. I did see another person that has the same machine and converted it to a pic based software with gecko 320 drivers and kept all of the original servos. Looks like he did it on...

With the reading I have done most of the machines that are this vintage came with Dynapath S10 however without any display or a tag on the machine I have no idea. In the factory info I have they had...

I am not sure what the control program is as I couldn't find an I.D. tag and there is no screen display at this time to see about a revision number. ...

About a week ago I had my new to me J330 delivered and wired however I am unable to get a whole lot from it at this time. I have been in touch with ZPS for a manual and now have that and they are...

I have available to me master cam x3, my employeer uses it and told me I could use it off the clock if I wanted to. I have a seig x3 that I am going to convert to cnc as soon as I can figure out how...

I am trying to figure out how to cut interrupted threads. Can someone give some guidance as to what the process is and what I will need for tooling? Thanks

I recently bought the equivalent of a Craftex 13x24 lathe. It handles 9-40tpi with 20 steps of threads. I am wondering if there is a gear set that I can get to enable me to do deeper threads like...
