Controlling 2 outputs with one definition

Hi, I have a mill with brake on the z-axis, to release the brake I need to supply 24V. I also have the power to all my axis servos for my mill on a contactor, to energize it I need to supply the contactor with 24V. I have the brake on output 2 and the contactor on output 7. Is there a way to have bo...

G0602 conversion with DMM servo spindle

Finally got around to finishing my G0602 CNC conversion. Everything seems to be working well. I used BDtools G0602 conversion kit for the ball screws and nuts to save time and that it definitely did. I used a 1KW DMM servo for the spindle, works well for threading so far. Servos I used were all DMM:...

Re: 11x26 Import Lathe Conversion to Acorn

Steve, Thank you for sharing, amazing. I'm about to get started on an import 10x22 lathe conversion (G0602), was wondering a few things if you dont mind. 1. Did you use angular bearing blocks on both ends of the ballscrews (for x and z)? 2. At the bearing block ends of the ballscrews, how did you ha...

Re: Acorn W/ DMM Servo Spindle Motor on Lathe

I finally got around to testing my DYN4 spindle motor, I had a similar issue. Grounding all my shielded cables resolved the matter, seems to working fine now. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but my shielded DB25 cable is going to a terminal block (I grounded that shield), from that terminal ...

Re: Acorn not controlling DMM Servo

You’re initial pic shows your ac voltage going to T and S on the drive and not S and R like it shows you have it now. I have no idea but I wonder if that could have damaged something.

Re: Acorn not controlling DMM Servo

I just tried Daniel's setup. It doesn't work for me. Now I can't drive my servo forward or backward. I will say the shaft is locked when I hit reset. Soon as I try X+ or X- the shaft unlocks and I can turn it with my fingers. The DRO shows movement but not the servo. Also the axis led on Acorn does...
