Took the motor off to check the connections. Connections were good but did find that the encoder coupler broke. Not sure why it broke. It is just an aluminum "flex" coupler and there shouldn't be any stress on the coupler. Luckily I had another one and installed it now everything seems smooth and ...

@tblough. I have checked all of the connections from the belt drive through the ball screw and everything seems tight

@cncsnw. My plan is to remove the servo motor to double check the wire connections to make sure nothing has come loose. I will also check the encoder coupler at the same time

Now when I try to home the machine, I get a warning saying the Y count is off and asks if I want to change the value. I have had this happen before on the Z axis and I would just say "no" and then home it again and it would be fine, but this time the Y continues to be off. Should I accept the new ...

Centroid188,

The Y axis motor and cables are fixed and do not move. I installed new power cables (order the cables from centroid) when I did the conversion. Now that doesn't mean that something could have gone wrong with the install. I removed the covers and tried wiggling the wires to see if It ...

cncsnw,

Attached is the report. I just realized the date is not correct on the computer but this is the current report. Also, yes, when cutting in X the Y jumps.

It doesn't seem to matter whether conventional or climb milling. It will do it driving the Y axis back and forth with the wireless ...

I converted a milltronics partner 1e a couple of years ago to the Allin1dc. Recently I started having problems with the Y axis jumping. I thought it was something mechanical but I have disconnected the drive and I have turned the ballscrew by hand throughout the full range of travel. Tried to find ...

The brake uses a 90vdc circuit. I am running 110v ac that powers the rectifier through the Allin1

So there is no solution for the Z head dropping with an Estop? I wonder what Milltronics did to prevent this? Who knows, maybe it always did and I just didn't know it. Never really had to hit the estop

Added a little extra color to the front of the operator panel Still not sure what to do on my Z-brake issue

@Converterking I have the Z brake wired to output 9 on the ALLin1DC.

@S-K Machine. The machine does not have a counterweight on it. Also, I was going to reuse the the factory setup for the DC servos but I was worried since Centroid says that you have to run the correct voltage to the motors and I ...
