Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Hi everyone,
I started a CNC build 3 years ago and am finally able to resume. I am feeling like I want some professional advice on how best to proceed. I have the table frame built and have Centroid Acorn and DMM AC Servos. Can anyone recommend someone who I could pay to discuss this build with? I ...

Hi there again.
I've been away for a while. Last winter I had been working on building a mechmate from scratch. I had the base frame built and had begun getting the controls setup ( just desktop as Marty and others recommended). I had purchased DMM servos and an acorn controller.

Well I stumbled ...

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding some of the components in the dmm schematic for dyn4 power supply. Is it normal to have each drive get two EMI filters? Ill have 5 drives so there will be 10 EMI filters in my cabinet. Ive yet to see another cabinet with more than one.

Good advice Richards, Thank you. By the way I see you are over in the mechmate forum as well. Just put 2 and 2 together on that!

I have successfully bench tested each motor/ drive individually . My plan now is to continue bench testing the system as a whole.

Im assuming that any axis can go in any st, dr, en location as long as its accounted for in the configuration within the wizard.
I also have images of my current wiring ...

Thanks guys, very much appreciated! I order the din rail mount ones.

Also I have movement of out my motors! The humming noise was actually my speaker which must have been picking up some frequency when i plugged the drive power on.

You'll have to keep in mind that i have never wired anything ever before this. What i am wondering is literally how do i accomplish the wired described in the branched areas. What type of connectors/ connections do I use.
Also I when i plugged in the power to my drives initially the motor started ...

Another question, hopefully the last for today. What is the best way to branch the areas circled in pink from the dmm power supply schematic?

Thanks for the advice Mike. I appreciate it.
I believe I am ready to bench test the acorn and dyn 4. I attached some images of my setup. I followed a couple of Martys videos. I used an old extension cord to provide power to the drives. Which is only 110. I have all the components for the entire ...

Ill start my proper build thread here

Building a 4.5 x 9' mechmate router. Mainly used to cut wood. Will use linear rails instead of the normal v bearings. I have the base table made. Now working on the electrical components.

I have no experience in wiring/ electrical but really want to learn. I ...
