Thanks for the reply! The part # on encoder is Renco 77822-033. I could not find any info on it. I stumbled across another thread showing the color pinouts. So a Gecko 320X will run this type of...
I recently purchased a ISEL router with the servo motor option. I would like to convert to Mach3 using the G320X. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to wire encoder? I found these specs for...
Does anyone know if it is possible to incorporate a switch into CNC Program. Basically I want to run the X axis towards a part until a switch is made. When switch is made the x axis will stop and the...
The reason for manual mode is because the parallel port is robbing from the CPU. It doesn't matter what PC you have, there is going to be a delay due to shared resources. If you read the Mach 3 turn...
Update: Converted everything to smooth stepper and run off ethernet. Machine runs much better with no problems. Also nice knowing the PC is totally isolated from machine. It was almost a blessing is...
I wouldn't even fukk around with a parallel port. I just bought a smooth stepper and run with any PC I want. Parallel ports are outdated and rob resources from the PC. Ethernet is the way to go. ....
I'd have to say this would be the operator, not the machine. Mach 3 was designed to work with multiple machines, hence the complexity of it. You can't blame Shopmaster for your ignorance. The...
Thank you for the replies. I am running Gecko G-201 Drives. The spindle is not a VFD its just a 120v electric motor that I control manually. The gecko drives get a common +5v from the computer via...
I have a Tri-Power Patriot. Ran fine for a year then motherboard fried over the summer. Switched out with a good computer and motherboard fried on startup. Tested voltages and thought I had a ground...
So my machine only came with 4 threading gears. They guy before me lost the others. I was missing like 15 gears or so. I could not afford to pay $27/ each for replacements, I have a 3d printer so I...
Check the thrust bearings for ball screws. Specifically the y axis. Mine were binding up causing the table to bounce instead of move freely.
Where do you get this engraving kit?
Did you check your Ports and pins under e-stop? Sometimes this will get switched from active high to low.. I've had this problem in the past.
I would like to add a router to my Quill. Does anyone have the dimensions of the quill plate? I have a Tri-power, but I think it is the same as the patriot. I saw someone had a cad file of the...
I have a tri-power machine. I was wondering if anyone has attached a router to their machine? Also if they have a schematic or picture?
I recently purchased a Tri-Power 2008 model. I can not figure out the tool post style. It looks like the axa styles but does not have the wedge. The tool is placed in the holder and there is a bolt...
I have Camworks and would like to simulate with the Patriot Machine. I saw on a previous thread someone has the machine simulation file for the patriot. I was wondering how to get this file?
I recently purchased a Tri-Power. It has the CNC kit. I received an owners manual with it but wasnt sure about the threading gears. It said something like it comes with 6 gears and 4 are in machine....
