Pulley looks good, encoder is connected well, axis is tuned. It will now hold at 10 rpm, but any faster than that and it starts bouncing again.

any suggestions on what to check next?

SOLVED -

Found the answer on another forum. It required loosening the bolts on the housing between the quill and upper housing. That received just enough pressure to allow the belt to turn again.

Hi Guys - Need somme help. I was PID tuning my z-axis when I ran into some oscillation. Before I could hit the e-stop the z bounced up and tripped the limit switch, but not just a little bit. Now the z will not come back down. I've even removed the cover and tried to turn the belt manually (which ha...

I have been upgrading a Bridgeport V2XT. My initial test ran went well, but I noticed the z-axis was getting progressively deeper as the program ran. By the end, the Z was programmed to be at -.625" but the actual depth was -.75". Other than that, it ran perfectly. Then yesterday, I was ad...

Ok, technically I don't want to home to the center of the table. I want the machine to automatically move to WCS #1 (G54) immediately after homing. Basically, I want the mill to run the homing sequence directly to G54 so the Z-axis is set up near the center of the table. I'm running a Bridgeport V2X...

Ok - found a loose wire which was the problem with my spindle brake. I fixed that and updated the PLC code from ZBrake to SpindleBrake as I had seen in another post and now the spindle brake works as it should. However, I still have no spindle speed control. Once the spindle starts, it will gain spe...

Working on a Bridgeport Series 1 V2XT and cannot get the air controls to work. When air is connected, machine will run the program but the spindle will not turn because the brake will not disengage. If air is not turned on, the program will run, spindle brake will disengage, however the spindle will...

Thanks guys! I double checked the continuity on the servo motors and all my connections. That and swapping the +/- on the axis motor fixed my movement issue. All axis move as they should now - however, the spindle does not turn. The wiring diagram uses the NO circuit from the spindle overload, howev...

Thanks guys - For the movement issue - I defeated the home limit switches at IN2, IN4, and IN6 just to see if I can get the machine running and will address changing the circuits to NC later. I have tried swapping the red and black power wires at each Axis 1, 2, and 3 as suggested. Upon powering on,...

Hello Folks - Newbie here. I am upgrading a Bridgeport Series I V2XT with DX-32 control to the Centroid Allin1DC with MPU12 and I am having difficulty wiring the limit switches. There are 4 wires coming in for both the x and y axis (red, black, green/yellow, and white). According to the original Bri...
