Re: Kitamura Mycenter Zero - DELTA Ethercat Retrofit
When I changed from a double-v to J-section belt the noise was CONSIDERABLY less.

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
I have 4 machines with VFDs in the control box. Two are Yaskawa, one is a Baldor, and one is ABB. As Gary says, the amount of noise radiated from the VFD is very low on name brands. And, I'm using $6/ft shielded inverter cable, properly grounded, for the motor connections. You don't have to house th...

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
Gary has already stated the proper technique. You want a SINGLE power entry point to your machine. This is directly attached to the main disconnect. It is then divided to a series of breakers/fuses sized for the different loads. The wiring is sized to carry the amperage of the last upstream fuse. Fu...

Re: Threading with Acorn lathe Pro
One thing not mentioned while using modified flank infeed is if you cut on the right flank as shown, your chips will curl towards the left. If you cut on the left flank, your chips will curl to the right which is perfect if you are threading up tight to a shoulder. Having the chips curl away from th...

Re: Touch probe
If you are using the part setup routines, zero is set automatically (display will show 1/2 the probe value for X and Y and 0 only on Z). If you are using probe cycles (which it appears), then the part position in the current WCS is reported.
