Hey Guys,
I bought a G9036 in September and I'm getting ready to convert it over to CNC. I have most of my electrical components but I'm trying to lay out the wiring and I'm lost.
This is the first time I have tried to do this and I'm not sure I understand what all of the things mean.
I bought the following:
Main Board
C11G
Drivers (3 total)
203V Geckodriver
Motors (3 total)
NEMA 32 1200 oz-in motors
Power Supply
Antek PS15N70R5
I'm looking at making small production runs on some parts. So, I need to get this up and running in the next month or so. I'm planning on upgrading the motor in the lathe and using a VFD.
Any recommendations on a VFD would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 3 or 5 hp motor (I will be cutting stainless).
In addition to the motor swap, I will be making a turret that will hold probably 6 tools (that’s the reason for the 3rd motor).
Ok, so, on the power supply, I’m going to be wiring it for 110v. When I talked to Antek, they said it doesn’t really matter if I wire it 110 or 220. Since the computer and everything else is 110, I figured it would be easier to keep everything the same voltage.
On the power supply outputs, I’m thinking I need to wire the X on one of the 70 volt outputs and the z on the other. Then wire the tool changer in parallel with the X output. I’m assuming there is really no reason to ever do a tool change and motion on the x axis at the same time. Do I need to wire in a circuit breaker on these outlets or just wire them directly? (I’m assuming directly)
For the 5volt outlet, does it need a fuse between the power supply and the C11G?
As said as this sounds, I’m not 100% sure which port to connect the power supply to on the C11G? The manual I have for the C11G is quite confusing to me and I figured it was better to stop and ask questions before letting the smoke out.
Can anyone walk me though how to wire the C11G? I did a search and I didn’t anything with a C11G. I found a few C10’s but I’m not sure they are the same. If you know of a link, that will work too. I just don't want to screw anything up.
Any help is greatly appreciated
