Re: Acorn Losing Steps
Thank you! I checked and cannot see any loose coupling. How do I check a drug? When trying to rotate the ballscrew I cannot feel any particular friction beyond "it feels normal". My understanding the DMM motor+DYN4 is a close loop system, so the drug should not affect it, or the system at ...

Acorn Losing Steps
Hey Folks, My gang tooling Mazak Q8 with Acorn and Dyn4 DMM 750W AC motors worked well for a few years. Last week it developed a problem--every time I run a program next cycle the X is about .004"--.007" off. If I keep running the cycles the error keeps accumulating. After re-homing the fi...

Acorn Communication Problem Q
Hey folks, I have a strange problem on our both lathes with Acorn and Durapulse GS3 VFD's. Because of different voltages for Acorn and VFD both lathes have separate power lines and power switches for both Durapulse and Acorn (did not want to use an internal step down xformer for Acorn). If at the en...

Re: Acorn Laser vs Plasma CNC12 5.02
Yes, I realized the laser buttons are for hair ones. In any case... Installed a router, connected everything according to the schematics for NEJE Laser, configured Wizard (please see the report report_0035FF624018-1211204203_2023-05-31_03-54-48.zip ). Wrote a little program in Intercon--M37-Frame-M3...

Re: Acorn Laser vs Plasma CNC12 5.02
I've been using both Centroid Mill (with AllinOne) and Lathe (with Acorn) for years and very familiar with those. However, I am afraid I got totally lost here. I built a simple setup connecting only laser module (please see the report report_0035FF624018-1211204203_2023-05-31_00-23-16.zip ) accordin...

Acorn Laser vs Plasma CNC12 5.02
Hello all, I've got here a cheap laser gantry with a blue laser (no spindle/Z axis) and Gecko540, and want to make it work. Found the docs on setting it up and schematics (one for NEJE laser): https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/acorn_documentation/acorn-CNC12_v4.60_laser.pdf A few qu...

Hey folks,
Downloaded the new lathe 5.02 and there is a bug--on VCP LIMIT SWITCH DEFEAT brings to Intercon radius help screen. How to fix it?
Thanks, M

Re: ATC for Mori Seiki Lathe
I am not sure how to connect the turret to the Acorn. I checked the wizard and did not find any lines with Turret out, turret in. Could not find any schematics with such arrangement. Anybody could help? Thanks, M turret in out? From my earlier post: The Mori Seiki has a large 8 stations turret. The...

Re: ATC for Mori Seiki Lathe
Chances are good that five of the sensors are for tool positions, and the 6th is for clamped/unclamped feedback. Thanks! Yes, I double checked and judging by corresponding teeth on a plate below the 6th switch indeed looks like for the turret clamp/unclamp operation. Now the question is how to conn...
