That said, tonight's project is using a different stylus to determine if error I'm seeing is due to bending of the stylus. Will log and document, but I doubt that's the issue. Have dug deeply into kinematic error, and my screenshot is similar in form to what Renishaw puts out for their 3 switch pro...

Well I'm glad it seems fast, but I'd actually like to speed it with brushless servos. I checked and it's currently 225 IPM max and .3 sec Accel/Decel. I can try slowing it down, but here's what I've done so far- 1) I hooked up another 1024 PPR encoder that I had (replacing the 2000 PPR) as shown be...

Got everything working. Threading works wonderfully after setting parameter 240 to -1. I can do internal and external threading. I do have one concern, the internal threading bar(s) seem to approach/retract much more than expected. I need to do really tight internal threading. I did set the approac...

What type of connectors/ connections do I use. terminal blocks. There are different types. Basically They have connections from one side to the other with a barrier in between. You can make jumper wire to connect the "rows". https://smile.amazon.com/URBEST5-Position-Covered-Screw-Terminal...

What do you mean by branch? The wiring diagram is branched.

250ipm .25 accell seems really quick. I would reduce the accell drastically, and then reduce the max speed drastically. It won't hurt anything. See what results you get. The real answer to your question isn't that simple; it depends on a lot of factors that we don't have. What you think you see and ...

I haver scrubbing the hardware of this system quite bit and have make some possible improvements. As built all ground leads have been collected at a single point and send to the Florida aquafer ..... . Shure looks like something with RF and the W$MPG. I don’t know what else to do with this thing. Y...

Success stories and post a final report. Explain the journey and challenges of the build

Yeah I am compiling all the photos! The Biggest takeaway is, if you can find a CNC machine, retrofit that rather than trying to convert a manual machine.

Still have a couple bugs to work out, but I am pretty happy with this machine!

Perhaps, but only if #100 then gets assigned to have that value somewhere, either at the top of the cnctch macro, or before the macro is called. Since #100 is a general-purpose user variable, it will start every new job with a value of zero. I would instead use variable #9161, which retrieves the c...
