Re: KP-3 Probe Woes

hello. sorry you had issues with the DP-4. We did reduce the repair cost by 50% for your case even though it was out of Warranty. I don't want to do any bashing because I really appreciate what Centroid brings to the table, but I barely used my probe and I DID NOT CRASH IT! NOT EVEN CLOSE! It did n...

Re: KP-3 Probe Woes

Well Marty, I know you mean no disrespect but you sound like Centroid who accused me of damaging the probe which I did NOT. I take full responsibility for my actions. I got the exact same treatment from Centroid with my KP-4 probe. The customer service regarding the probe was terrible. I sucked it ...

Re: AC Servo Drives - Driving me nuts!

I would not give up on the VFD yet. What model are you using? I worked on a sheeter one time that had a servo motor with a VFD on it. Maybe 150 hp. The VFD failed and we needed to replace it. The motor and original servo drive were originally a matched system from Indramat, and Indramat will NOT giv...

Re: newbie looking for help on how many processes and fixturing

I don't know if this will help you or not. I have not used 3d scanning yet, but have 2D. Fusion 360 struggles if the file is too big. And now you need the paid version to do anything with it.

I now have Solidworks and am learning it, albeit very slowly............

Re: Lets talk building control panels

All that may be true, but open the electrical cabinet of any Maho, Makio, Hurco, Haas, Hermle, Okuma, Mazak, Hardinge, Tsugami, etc. and I'll bet you see a painted back panel. Somehow, they make them work in spite of the "Marketing folks". That's all great till you get gremlins that cause...

Re: Lets talk building control panels

Painted back panels are a capacitor I am interested to hear more on this. Any two conductors separated by a dielectric are a capacitor. There is a potential scenario where if something with a conductive frame is bolted to a painted back panel that there is capacitance between the panel and the comp...

Re: Lets talk building control panels

Use galvanized back panels. Don't use painted. Painted back panels are a capacitor, and believe it or not can affect electronic reliability. Galvanized panels also allow for much better grounding. Painted back planes should never be used for any electronic equipment. All variable speed drives should...
