Yeah I understand, however leadshine in the us, for a comparable size starts at 600 and JMC doesnt have a US dealer. Im a little apprehensive about import taxes, I went to Ali and that size motor was about 250 + shipping and taxes, had everything written in chinese ( which I cant read),and had to wa...

Does that mean it wont work, or I shouldnt use it?

I would agree with the 3 phase and vfd normally being cheaper, however not in this case. The link is to a servo motor with a controler and timing gears and belt for $444.00 that will bolt right up to my machine. I dont think I can beat that price, unless I buy the cheapest chinese motor I can find, ...

Hey guys, Im working on my latest project, converting my manual lathe to cnc. My first obstacle is what to use for a spindle motor. Ive been looking at all the choices, 3 phase with vfd, AC servo, and this, https://www.servomotorkit.com/product-page/grizzly-g-1550-two-hp-servo-motor-upgrade. This se...

Its been a longer than I thought project, but worth it. Building the control panel was more work than I realized but taking my time to make sure I had it straight in my head paid off. I have successfully cut test parts today, and aside from the typical plasma table issues they came out great. My ohm...

Well the new pc fixed the com errors, so now its on to calibrating my torch and hopefully cutting my first parts.
Thanks for all the help.

The only step I haven't done is the last one in the tb 270 that is inconsistent according to tb 270. There is absolutely not...

Once again I need some help, After sorting out all the setup for my motors/linear motion, I have everything working, home switches/home all, laser, torch is firing, touchoff is working, ect.. I try to run a job and get communication errors. Doing a stress test over and over and trying different thin...

Thanks again for all your help guys. I had a feeling it would be something simple. I corrected the dip switches and settings in the wizard and what do you know .995 revs per inch is less than a 32nd off. And at 400 ipm. With the same motors running on torchmates system 150 ipm was max without losing...

20240417_131051.jpg Ok so Im just going to go crawl in a hole and hide now. Goodness I feel stupid. So what I have gathered from this humbling/learning experience is Acorn will use the steps per rev first before the revs per inch. So if you tell it to move a certain distance and you have these sett...
