Re: Acorn + Clearpath success stories?
Thanks for dissecting the pictures. The latest schematic showed 3 resistors per axis and in my "many permutations " I removed the enable resistors and the unused axis which I had placed for future use and still had no movement . I too am considering a move to the C86ACCP board but the sys...

Re: New Centroid Teknic Clearpath officially supported configurations
The tuning was a total success, thanks Franco, the motors are much quieter now! I was reading the "clearpath acorn success stories" and came across a post from "Centurion". He explained how he was able to get his Z axis to fault by driving it hard up and down. Using this method I...

Re: New Centroid Teknic Clearpath officially supported configurations
When attempting to hold a position with the spindle on or off? Servo "hunt" is more likely to be a tuning or parameter setting issue, especially if the spindle is off Its when the spindle is on (during a drilling operation) Just found this video from franco that shows how the "fine t...

Re: New Centroid Teknic Clearpath officially supported configurations
I may have spoken too soon, my Y axis has now developed a jitter when attempting to hold a position, I'm going to add the 5 volt 100 ohm resisters to see if that helps, I'll report back once complete.

Re: Teknic Power4-Hub
I found the Teknic Power4-Hub to be a great value at $49 It can distribute power to your Clearpath SDSK/SDHP motors and with an external +24VDC power source, it will keep your drive logic powered up. Why is this beneficial? 1: If there is a drive fault, and you use an Estop Contactor to remove main...

Re: New Centroid Teknic Clearpath officially supported configurations
I wanted to share my experience with the acorn/clearpath sdsk servos just in case there is anyone out there following this string. I've been using the setup (with no resistors per the wiring diagram released october 21st 2019, version 2) for a few months now, just running test cuts (ect.) and i have...

Re: New Build: SYIL X4 CNC Mill, Clearpath SDSK, C86ACCP & Centroid Acorn
Customers are talking...and Teknic/Centroid are listening. In response to customer requests, Teknic plans to offer 20' cable lengths in the not too distant future (TBD). Teknic is not a custom cable house and currently offers a short cable length (10') and a long cable length (55') to get customers...
