I'm glad you got it working.

This is what I have on the SGD cable and I think it is what I wired mine from, but it has been awhile back.
If it was the Aaron Moss kit yes, I believe so. However, it was supposed to have Locktite on the threads and be tightened with Vise-Grips before installing the setscrew. I have the manual mill, but I...
From the instructions for Y-axis assembly from waaay back:
Locktite the ballnut, a few drops only.
Although the tip is green, it is equivalent to Locktite "Blue"
Tighten it up.
Put in the...
And leave out the wiggly shot of the Mach 3 screen! Unless the video is about Mach 3 itself of course. If there is a point for showing the screen, at least tell us what we should be looking at.

It looks like they have pulled DriveTop off of their site. I downloaded DriveTop16V14 from their site December of last year. It's 50MB. I can't tell for sure, but it may be that ...
I'll have to leave that to someone else. If no one chimes in, you can google on Galil as an example of a manufacturer that makes motion controllers. Yaskawa also has them. As do others.
In digital mode, the servo drive's outer control loop is position control and it will keep the encoder count from moving. In analog control the position loop is disabled and the outer loop is just...
Per the manuals, both the SGDA and SGDB use a Yaskawa cable number DE9405258, so you can use the pinout you found.
But first you need to make a spring loaded chuck key to keep you from taking photos of such a flagrant safety violation! :nono:
Relax, I'm not really a safety nazi.
I have searched some more, and it does look do-able. Unfortunately, EMC2 requires a great deal more of my time to learn just how to do it. It's a simple menu selection in Mach 3.
I'm glad you got...
I have seen where Mach3 can control a lathe's step/direction servo or stepper spindle drive. I have not seen that EMC2 is set up to do it. I know, I know about running a velocity mode drive with an...
I'm impressed with everything about this. $45 bucks, in the nick of time, 5 day build, and that thing flies!
Don't raise the power supply voltage for the motor without adding a couple of resistors between each winding center tap of the motor and the V+ terminals on those boards. They are not current...
Look for any F codes in the G-Code file you are trying to run. For example, F10.0 used in the code will set the feedrate to 10.0 units per min. If you have set up for metric it will mean 10.0 mm per...
Try lowering your feedrate first to the same as your jog speed. Also lower the acceleration rate. Then you can work up from there. I didn't find your motors from a quick Google search nor on NMB's...
The "Lovejoy" couplings shown are not Oldhams. Different although somewhat similar design.

I thought the code was pretty clear in the SGDA manual I referenced in your other thread. No idea if it is settable, but readable yes.
Set Cn-00 to 00-04
You should see F.0002 or whatever...
Well, well, well. I did a little searching and found your motor codes mentioned. I'm not sure how this works for sure, so I'll leave that to those interested. It does say it is for monitoring but?

Here's a post in another thread RE the Omron/Yaskawa issue.
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=551784&postcount=52
Here it is from the Sigma Win Help File with Paint additions of 9 Pin PC pin numbers. But I found a variety of other cable pinouts for the jumpers in various Yaskawa manuals.

I haven't looked to see if I can find the Omron to Yaskawa cross, but yes, Yaskawa built Omron Servos for years. There may be some specification/programming differences, but the older motors and...
I've got a bunch of SGD-02BPY38 servos (from Outback Equipment Company off ebay). But I don't know what the Y38 means either. I still haven't "gotten around" to putting them on anything yet. I did...
I'm wondering if you are getting racking when moving the gantry as you implied it did the same thing with the ballscrew. Check this thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51485
And that's the problem with initial names - too easy to scramble. And I knew it was MPJA too. :tired: But then I also know I've done that before. Marlin P Jones & Assoc and I "remember" it as JP...
I suspect so. JPMA?
Hmm, good to know. My intended usage was on a minimill and I've got the gibs cranked down a bit tight due to the "precision" fit, so I was a bit concerned about the reduced...
The first note on the Helical catalog page for the 17 lb-in couplers I got at a great deal :) pretty much told me I couldn't use them.
There is also another rating on these. For mine:
Do you still need this?
I've got three sitting in my garage floor (in Alabama) out of a friend's Boss 5. I've been wondering what I could use them for and have pretty much decided the answer is...
Sorry, I just caught this thread. Are you using a touchscreen or other OIT device to deal with the B4000.xx and B2000.xx bit of word logiic? I'm coming under the influence of my sleep aiding pill and...
