Re: Timing Pulley

I get all my pulleys from B&B Manufacturing here in the US. They offer imperial and metric pulleys and will custom bore anything all at very reasonable prices. All pricing is available online and most pulleys are in stock. I don't know what pitch belt you have or belt width but they have 1/2&quo...

Re: Torch sensor hookup

Are they normally open or normally closed prox sensors? Do you have that set correctly in the wizard?

You have to run 24 volts into H1 or H4 for the inputs to work, look at the diagram closer.

Re: Torch sensor hookup

I think he's missing the 24 volts for the inputs since none of them are working. Hopefully he'll send a pic and tell us what diagram he's following.

Re: stepper motor advice

I dont use steppers so maybe someone who does or has used these will be able to give you better advice on a motor choice. Both are good choices though as many users on here have used both. What kind of gear reduction do you have? Please start a Google photo album of the machine so we can see what yo...

Re: Torch sensor hookup

Thank you for the report, inputs are configured correctly. Which wiring diagram did you follow? Did you hook up 24v to either H1 or H4? Do you have a Google album started with pics of everything that you can share? A photo of the Acorn board wired up would also be helpful.

Re: Torch sensor hookup

Did you configure the inputs in the wizard?

Please post a current report when asking questions like this so that we may check your settings. Without a report we are guessing at answers.

Re: stepper motor advice

Can you post some model numbers of the units you are looking at? Stepper Online offers a good product at reasonable prices and you should confirm that the Leadshine you are looking to buy are genuine Leadshine drives. If you are buying direct from Leadshine then no worries but there are clones out t...
