I have a HY02D223B. I have it running on a Bridgeport clone cnc mill. Remotely I have speed control with a pot, and forward and reverse switch, but no reverse. When it is in forward position the...

My friend John Tidrick has a nee mill with an anilam 3300 mk control. He can't keep it running We are retrofitting it with PMDX & Geckos. I can't...

A friend of mine has a Bridgeport with an Anilam 3300MK control.
He has had a lot of problems with it. We are replacing the control with Gecko 320X's and PMDX 126 bob. My question is, where dose the...

The solenoid that controls the air brake cylinder has three wires to it a red, a white and a green, I think. It is 110 volts. How do I hook it up to activate. I am doing a retro on my Herco. I need...

After i unwrapped the wire I didn't cut the wire till i checked the voltage first take turns off the transformer. just live the wire strung out in a pile. Hook a volt meter on each end of the...

This is taken from Jacks post from our retrofit. My original two encoder are 1000 PPR. I messed one up bu hooking the voltage up wrong. The new one that I got is adjustable with dip switched. I set...

I like the stacking of the cabinets. Also like getting rid of the swing arm. that would give me a lot more room. When I had dumb questions, Jack was right there to help me. he was great help. Still...

I don't think the tack. brushes are the same. I took mine out. Jack put his computer in the cabinet with the BOB. He has to open the cabinet to turn it on, but i think he leaves it on all the time....

When I did mine the Vipers or the DuGongs drivers was a problem getting. Might do a search on this site. I didn't have the Geckos, just the BOB. That is why I did the limit switches first. PMDX sold...

I hooked up the charge pump on the PMDX 126 right away. I manually moved the servo motors with a 12 volt car battery. I could set up the limits moving everything slow. If I hit the stops, (end of...

I took turns off the transformer so I had about 78 volts DC with the rectifier and capacitor hooked up. Here is a link to that....

Ha Jack What did you do with the spindel brake? i may operate mine manually for tool change till I find out what I want to do.

You might want to read about Jack & I retrofitting a KM3. Might give you some in site. We used Gecko with good success. Took some turns off the transformer to lower the voltage a little....

I have a KM 3. What do you do with the variable speed? You can manually run the speed up and down. Also it has high & low (back gear). Haven't bought a VFD yet. Still finishing a retrofit on the...

Got noise on the X proximity switch. Going to run shielded wire all the way from the switch to the BOB. Right now I have shielded wire from the steal flex wire housing to the BOB. I can see the X...

I have been reading about other retrofits. Some of the prices our outrageous.
I paid $ 169.00 for a PMDX 126. $ 115.00 each for the three Geckos 320xs. One new encoder I think I paid $23.00 because...

Today I got the back plate bolted down with out taking the servo off. Don't know why it went so easy today. Got the encoder mounted and wired up.
The Y servo moves ok. Next homed the X,Y, and Z....

Got the encoders today. Thought they were a bolt on encoder. Not. Had to take the black servo plate off, make a step plug to line up the encoder to drill & tap the 4/40 holes to mount the encoder....

I opened up that blue box that I thought was a filter. It is a 120 to 120 volt isolation transformer with two capacitors on the out put. I am getting my 120 volts from the 220 to 120 volt...

I haven't ran the spindle since I started the retrofit. No need to yet. Kind a thinking ahead. I have activated the motor relays without 3 phase. I used rg 174 coax to hook up step & direction. Wish...

On the contactors / overloads. I took the overloads off the contactors.
I didn't know how to hook them up. Curious as what you guys did? Do I need to have them in there? Couldn't turn on the spindle...

Tonight I got the Z going up and down. The only problem I had
the A & B on the encoder was reversed. I ordered a new encoder
for the Y. I should be here Monday. If Digi-Key can sell one for $...

Can I mix a 1000 ppr with a 500 ppr. I didn't realize That the new encoders are programmable. I ordered from Digikey. Will have it Monday. Servos are new to me. I ask questions, and then I find the...

I cleaned up the wiring on the x & y. I think I got the 5 volts and ground switched on the y.
Anyway I think the encoder is toast. Can I mix a 1000 ppr with a 500 ppr. I ran a new separate line to...

I think I have two of the encoders working. X is ok Hooked up the encoder for the y. The warning (red) light comes on when I move the axes, and then goes out and the green light comes on. Started...

Will finally got to work on the Hucro. Took the covers off the encoders. Well I got three different ones. The Z is a Renco rsc 23d. There is no pin out info. The Y I haven't looked at vary close. I...

Got back from Cleveland Clinic last Night about 10:15 pm.
Got up at 7 am and went to Indianapolis today. Got home about 6:30 pm.
Got the geckos 320X's mounted.I used thermal grease between the...

On the Hurco the KM3P has the y servo motor inside the casting on the front. Mine, the KM3 has the servo motor on the right front outside with 1 to 1 belt drive. How do I get 4 times the pulse rate?...

jack, There is a good tutorial on the ftp://machsupport.com/Docs/Mach3%20Setup%20Tutorial.pdf That is vary helpful in setting up the Hurco. Did you get your limits switches set up. I got my switches...

I just want to get it running. When I have encoder problems, I will them change out.
Will buy encoders to replace the ones that's there. If I have spares, I won't need them.
I don't need to make a...
