Dennis, did we lose the video link?

DMM agreed to replace the motor. They wouldn’t ship until my motor made it back to them. Took the USPS two weeks to get the motor to DMM. They shipped the replacement the next day. I again want to emphasize they have been great from a customer service perspective and have done right by me after the...

Oscar, you should post a video of that machine operating and doing a tool change and then you do a video showing your switch locations and what each does.

Shawn and Tom both answered the question very well. Nothing to add here! Marty Didn't mean to steal your thunder Marty. :D I just wanted to point out that the 5V drive DOES still require a resistor if using 24 volts, it just doesn't need to be installed by the builder, it's inside the drive already...

There is a no fault input that needs to be shorted on C86ACCP. On contact on the Estop relay dies that Yes there is. It comes shorted from CNC4PC. I'm sure they (Centroid) have schematics, but I have chosen to simplify the wiring on my builds because adding that portion complicates the process and ...

You need three normally open contacts in your estop contactor. 1 breaks the VFD Common 1 breaks power to your IPC-5 1 closes the NO Fault input to C86ACCP My version is similar but has a couple differences: 1) If the VFD is 230vac (1ph), then both hot legs should be broken by the contactor 2) If th...

I'm not home currently. Take a look at the Acorn system schematic on how to wire the estop relay coil to you estop power supply and button with two NC contact blocks. You wire from the positive terminal of you estop power supply (NOT the Acorn logic power supply and usually separate 1 or 2 amp 24vdc...

I have fought an intermittent servo fault on the X axis since I got this machine running. The only real work around I found was to keep lowering rapids and acceleration. I finally got to swapping it with the Y axis servo today. Of course, the problem followed the motor. I can honestly say, I don't ...

Hey Marty, it's been a while and I've yet to finish my build. I know 24 volts goes to the E stop contactor but I don't quite understand the dwg. and where to insert the wires on the contactor...I'm not an electrian by trade so I need a little more than it shows, like the + lead and - lead goes from...
