Re: Mazak Impulse - Oak retrofit build log
Looking Good ! Love the persitence... I think we all go into these conversions with a plan for project costs and amount of time needed, then it gets blown clear out of the water in our pursuit to end up what we invisioned in the first place. Its a fun learning experience ( and costly at times) but w...

Re: Cant turn on Orientation on Delta C2000
I think what Marty means is you have to provide the VFD Zero speed output signal back to the OAK board for the tool changer to work. Guess they dont want tools spinning around and getting unclamped

Re: Cant turn on Orientation on Delta C2000
Congrats on getting past that hurdle! I bought my VFD 4 years ago when I first started thinking about converting my VMC . I figured if I could get the existing spindle motor running good and then the orient function , I would have a huge hurdle completed and motivation to continue the Centroid conve...

Auto Coolant after tool change.
Ok guys. Probably another dumb question but since I can't find the answer anywhere I'll have to ask here. ATC system. What does the Flood designation actually do in the tool library. ? I assumed it caused a M8 to continue after tool change and spindle start but it appears I'm wrong. Been having to a...

Re: Mazak Impulse - Oak retrofit build log
Cant remember your spindle setup and its too late now that you bit the bullet for a new VFD.. But I noted on my Comet/Viper conversion the old control setup/VFD drive used a seperate mag pickup attached to the the spindle shaft just below the belt drive. Had a curved magnet screwed right to it and a...

Re: Z home position random errors - ABS count error
Thats too clean Thanks I'll do it . Errors seem to be clear so far today. Rehomed it 20 times. I put a new belt on the Z drive. Seemed good but was a little oily and had some flex I could see on hard motions.

Re: Z home position random errors - ABS count error
Yea, thats the way it was, It just bugged me that it stayed all the way up and all the travel was negative. Hass mills come off the z home switch and go to tool change height on power up for initial zero. My Zero now is the same as G28 G30 at -5.175 . Got a million hours running the Hass mill here s...

Re: Z home position random errors - ABS count error
Well Not sure if its right but it seems to work like I want . ( It mirrors my MiniMill)
Home File
M92/Z
G91 G20 G1 Z-5.175 F40 ( I added this )
M26/Z
And in the M6 mac file I changed the head clearance
G53 Z5.0
And of course reset all my tools.

Re: Z home position random errors - ABS count error
Lol. Ok. Point noted. Shields are on shell. These are factory from dmm. Forget the errors for now. How do I set z home to be at tool change height in hom file?

Re: Z home position random errors - ABS count error
Yea. Now I'm really confused. Tried the tool check button and got. G28 set too low. My machine home at power up is set to Home switch. It homes to just off each limit switch. That means my z axis travel is all negative. Tool check won't allow negative positioning to get to the g28 -5.175 set for my ...
