Re: Most Affordable Hickory Servo Systems

A nice benefit of ethercat is that the wiring is pretty much plug and play. As pretty much all sets come with premade cables.

Re: Fanuc 2S AC spindle motor on Delta C2000+

Small update: I "solved" this by swapping out the motor. Due to the motor being 200V and my Delta C2000 being 400V there was just too much de-rating needed. Another option could have been to get a bigger delta drive (7.5-11kw) but that would have cost more than swapping this whole thing. S...

Re: possible new Centroid Project

I have acquired a used machine that has a bad Syntec controller. I am weighing my options. The Syntec controller is older and obsolete. The options I am considering is an updated Syntec, Fanuc or to save some money Centroid. The servo Drives are Delta ASDA-M series. This drive is not listed as a su...

Re: Most Affordable Hickory Servo Systems

I have a friend that runs Innovance SV660N ; on a video, the performance looked quite impressive. From what i remember it was about 200-250usd per axis.
delta b3 is about 360 per axis, other options are above that

Are you sure about that?

Re: Fanuc 2S AC spindle motor on Delta C2000+

It may be a little small, but it should still run an unloaded motor. Why are you trying to run a 200V motor at 32, 22, and 10V? That certainly has to screw things up. And, the motor frequency is base frequency is 60Hz and not 50. First thing i would do is set the output frequency to 60Hz and see if...

Re: Fanuc 2S AC spindle motor on Delta C2000+

I looked at a bit further but seems my vfd is just too light to run this motor with the 380v model limiting the output voltage at 200V for the motor. https://i.imgur.com/ViImnEz.png Best bet i see so far is to just replace the motor. As the other options would be to reinstate the 380V -> 200V transf...
