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...

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.

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...
