Re: First project - another Chinese CNC on mach3

Hi Guys,
sadly my acorn is still sitting on a bench and I haven't been able to get past my fear of the 240V / 70Volt stuff in the box.
I really wish there was someone with a similar project nearby in Brisbane.
I really need to get my act together and get this machine working again.

Re: First project - another Chinese CNC on mach3

Thanks again cbb.
I missed that thread and I see you found a colour copy of the manual too.

Its all starting to make sense to me :)

Next task is pulling covers off the chassis an taking out the steppers. Planning on keeping these but need to work out the wiring as it is.

Re: First project - another Chinese CNC on mach3

Some info on the stepper drives: (mainly marketing stuff, still looking for product tech info) but the print on the unit is probably enough to work off :) Looking at this, the drives are set up for half current 2000 steps per rev. 1)High performance, low price, low noise, excellent stability 2)Featu...

Re: First project - another Chinese CNC on mach3

Thanks for the advice cbb. I am trying to get my head around the bench testing. There's a lot of lethal voltage stuff in my control box. I guess I could remove the steppers from the machine, run the cables to the drivers but leave them connected to the 70V transformer(?) in the box. Again - all advi...

First project - another Chinese CNC on mach3

Hi all. here is the machine I am going to convert. I have had it for about 4 years on mach 3 with the original XHC controller. It never worked well from the day it arrived. Sadly, I thought it was just me but I couldn't produce 2 parts the same if my life depended on it. After letting it collect dus...

Re: Converting Chinese CNC Router from XHC Mach3 Motion Controller

Hi slodat (and everyone else). I think I'll be rereading this thread over a few times. I have a chinese built 1200 x 1200 with a very similar setup to yours. It has an older version of the XHC , Fuling vsd, Yako 2608h drivers. The wiring looks more complicated than yours for some reason but that mig...
