12 tool ATC turrette

I am currently working on a CR Onsrud retrofit with acorn. In the interest of sticking with 4 axis and saving myself some width in the shop, as this thing is massive, I have decided not to use the turrets that I have. I acquired 2 of these turrets with this auction lot. They are pretty complete save ...

Axis failure

I have been pulling my hair out for a couple of days now. My cnc router has been randomly failing on one axis, single more. I changed the motor and driver, still the same.

Re: Wireless connection.

This retrofit has, as the only items leaving the machine as power, air and ethernet cable for the pc. I may experiment with a wireless connection for what it costs to do so. I definitely understand the reliability issues that could arise, hence the reason for the inquiry. The solution may be to have ...

Wireless connection.

Has anyone pulled off a wireless Ethernet connection with a controller. The CR Onsrud Retrofit I'm doing would be well served to not have to trip over cable going the the machine. What is the connection speed needed for the acorn board? I am wanting to try using a point to point wireless bridge to ...

Re: Axis failure

This is right off of the current setup. Yes, the drive is faulting out. Like I said i have changed it out.

Re: Acorn CNC12 Mill, Router, and Lathe v4.6 has been released!

LOL, that might have been nice to know before I started down that rat hole. I guess I will do it the old fashioned way again then! If i do this a couple more times this year I will have all of the numbers memorized. I will probably even remember how to set up all of WSC numbers and such.


Thanks!
