Craig,

Thank you for your reply.
I wasn't sure if it was really that simple. I saw some examples where a step-down transformer was used to get the 110VAC. Could it be that you have to use a...

Hi all,

This might be a no brainer for all of you but 240v split phase is relatively new for me.
I have a CNC enclosure that requires 240v for the VFD. Now I would like to install power outlets...

Hi,
I am not a specialist in this by any means.

However, I currently also try to get my control box together and I found this not so easy because, as I said, I am not a spezialist in this field....

Hi all

@Al
thank you again for your help and advice!

I think I am almost there.

I am not so sure if my diagram is self explanatory since the standards for electrical drawings are likely...

Sorry but the quality of the attached picture is not very good.
Here is the PDF version much easier to read.
Chris

Al, thanks for your input!

OK...

I reorganized things and added relays and a 24V control circuit to avoid 120V on switches and such.
Embarrassingly I am a little bit confused with the 24V DC...

Thank for the advice!

For now I put two fuses both 15Amps into the circuit, one for the receptacles and one for the power supply and changed the connection of the power supply to the other leg of...

Al,

thank you for your input.
The VFD will probably not be in the enclosure, hence I would need a 3 conductor wire, 2 hot and GROUND?
I have not shown that in the diagram so far but the...

Hello all,

I have an Xzero CNC router since end of last year which I use for hobby purposes. The machine is driven by a LeadShine MX4660 stepper motor controller together with a USB CNC motion...

Sorry for my late response here.
I think your suggestions were, what brought me in the right direction. Looking closer to input4 and the manual again I figured that there is no power...I found...

I used INPUT4 and GROUND combined with PIN13 since this is the pin that is assigned to INPUT4 in the manual, given that I understand the manual correctly.
However the other INPUT 1-3 are my...

OK... thank you for your help!
You are absolutely correct, it was easy and it seems that the UC100 is doing what he is supposed to do. I checked all INPUT pins from 10 - 13 and they all seem to...

Hello all,

I am running a CNC router equipped with a leadshine MX4660, UC100-
CNC USB motion controller and Mach3. So far for a couple of month everything runs more or less OK. Now I tried to...

Hello all,

I appreciate that you are concerned about my well being and I agree it would be best to call the electrician again. However, this type of electrician, he actually was from the company...

Al and mactec54

thank you for your help, I think you put me on the right track and gave me some important information and ideas.
The project grew from just a receptacle and power plug for a...

Thanks Al,

I found this piece of paper, the information is kinda overwhelming for a lay person.

At first I will stick with the concept of having two power sources, even though the idea of only...

Lot of information for somebody who is not an electrician.
Let me tell you what I found which is actually emphasizing what you said.

As mentioned above, I got two 240 power lines installed to...

Hello all,

the spindle will be hooked up to a hobby CNC router. The CNC stuff is running with 120V and separate from the spindle. There is currently a Bosch router spindle working on this machine...

OK ...
sorry sorry I apologize causing confusion here.
I am from Germany but live and work here in the US (central PA) for almost 8 years now.
So you are looking at a NA breaker box and power...

Hi all,

thank you for your input and help!

I am actually from Germany so used to have the 230V as a standard rather than the 120V. I remember that my father had 3 phase alternating current...

Thanks guys, that is good reassurance that I am on the right track, I will get a 20 Amp receptacle and the according power plug with cable from the machine to the receptacle.

@Matec54
No...

Hello
thanks for your reply!

So I will get a receptacle with 20 amps I guess.

Hello all,

here comes the probably dumbest question in this section ever ...:rolleyes:

Anyhow, I am not an electrician and to make it even more complicated, I am from a 230V country. For...

@John
Thanks for you input and sorry for my late response, work was a kind of intense the last couple of days so not enough time to follow here.
Not sure what number you referring to ... I think...

Hello,

I had some issues with the Xaxis too, but they were related to the fact, that I didn't tighten the screws in the correct sequence.
Since it seems to be OK, the X axis didn't run as smooth...

More work on the long axis. I cut of the dried foam protrusion, then deburred the cut surface on either end to make sure it will fit flush against the base plate. Then installed the rails which was...

I started with the Y Axis assembly after filling the 80X80 extrusion halfway with dry Sand and now waiting the construction foam, which seals the openings, to dry.
The Y axis plate had a...

OK

I hope I can make some progress today. I got some "play sand" from the home depot, advantage ... the sand is dried, I also got some construction spray foam.
As you can see on the pictures, I...

Hello,

all ends of the ball screws are machined and threaded except for the end of the Z axis ball screw, basically you don't need a floating bearing on the Z axis, saves you some room and money....

Hello all,

work holds me back to make some progress on this machine. A couple of days ago the linear motion stuff arrived. Pretty good packed.
Two 16 mm and a 20 mm ball screw for the long...
