    Bridgeport Series 1 CNC conversion help

    I've removed the original controller and steppers. The new system consists of a Centroid Acorn controller with Yakotec servo drives and servos.

    Looking for help in setting the parameters of the Yakotec drives for proper movement.

    Anyone out there have experience with Yakotec??

    Thanks,

    If you have put the motor spec's into the drive ( if needed ) and selected the rigidity level then you can just do a auto tune

    Thanks for the reply mactec54...

    I don't see an "auto tune" feature in the Yakotec software???

    Ok, I'm struggling here...I should also clarify that I have the ES2 series of drives.

    mactec54, I don't see anything in my manual that references any sort of learning capability, but I see it mentioned in the brochure/catalog.

    hmmm....

    That being said, my manual is titled "Brief Edition"...but have never another version.
