The C6 card should work fine. Check the 10V source coming into the card. The card can be configured 0-10v or 0-5v you can get the C6 manual at cnc4pc.com

You can do a simple test to determine the error 22. Simply use a good servo attached to the servo amp. When it powers up the display on the amp should not show any errors. Now you can power down...

Look for loose connections on the cables. If they all feel good you could power down the machine and switch the motors or motor driver between the x and y axis and see if the problem moves to the...

Error 22 is an encoder error. This can be caused by poor encoder connections or ban encoders or RFI noise AC power or spindle cables to close to encoder cables

If you have a VFD driving the spindle you can power down the VFD and then switch any two wires going to the spindle motor. Spindles are three phase motor so reversing two legs with reverse the...

Superman is correct, but this depends on your CAM system and if this feature is enabled. If you are not sure take a caliper and measure your tool that you want to use. Then create a new tool in...

My guess is your sending the pulses too fast or the pulse width is too narrow. Look at the specs of your driver it will detail the waveform required

I would buy some solid carbide drill bits and use coolant. Carbide will stay sharp longer and cooling will avoid heat buildup which will dull the drills. I would also do peck drilling which puts...

If this is tool wear then measure the tool with a micrometer and create a new tool with your measured diameter. Now regenerate the gcode using the newly created tool it should address your issue

All you need to do is copy the license file into the demo directory and it will come up as licensed with your name

Look at digikey.com or eBay and find a 5A relay, they sized it that way for a reason.

You could get a generic Mach3 CNc control board that comes with inputs and outputs, they sell for $40 to $60 on eBay

Hooking up and modifying these the CNC control boards is not difficult. Especially if you already do stuff with electronics like tube amplifiers. Post pictures of the boards you have including the...

M3 S3000 is the right order check your post processor other ventricle products work perfect with Mach 3 b Mach 4

You could run a test and swap the two drivers between the X axis and the Y axis and see if the problem moves to side to side instead of front to back. This would let you know if you have a bad...

This board has a tool setter input available, this is all you need to do is configure it for that port/pin. The axis inputs are clearly labeled, very easy stuff.

Clearly anything burnt would be suspect. The loud noise will moving seems to suggest an issue with the steppers, does X or Y axis work without unusual noise?

You should post some photos of your machine, but the simple answer is YES. Most of these older machines need to have the electronics swapped out for something current. Depending on the Servo Motors...

The two silver boxes on the left bottom of the machine are stepper drivers. The box above them is the CNC controller. Make sure you unplug the AC power to the machine before you do anything. The...

If you don't have a dedicated estop input you need to use one of those input pins for that item. You can wire two home sensors to the same input, because the machine only looks at them one at a...

You can find cam bolts on the McMaster Carr website, they run about $11 to $15 depending on the size required.

You could also look on ebay someone might have the broken part you need.

There are lots of cheap Chinese self contain cnc controller with a display that can do 3-4 axis, that usually cost around $100. Now you just get one of those and configure one axis, and that will...

Use the first three inputs for X,Y,Z home sensors. Now put all of the LIMIT switches in series, so if anyone get bumped it stops the machine, all of these will go into the four input pin.

Some...

First when you start up Mach4 go up to the top and configure plugin. Now select ESS plugin, it will bring up a menu. Check the inputs and make sure the inputs with home switches are configured to...

Check the wires on the stepper motors. Power down laser and unplug each motor and plug back then do the same thing on controller board then power it back up and give it a try. Also check for loose...

The error you are getting seems to be the communications between Mach4 and the ESS. Make sure you enabled the ESS plug-in inside of Mach4

Russ

I have had this happen in Mach4, check to make sure the home switches are enabled and configured correctly. This is definitely a configuration error not hardware

Check your software, pretty much all software CNc controllers require you to home the machine before you start. On the estop make sure you don’t have more than one or a door switch

Your spindle is not trammed. Thirty is what causes the ridges when surfacing, search on trimming
