Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

On this forum i have not found detailed information about a motorized (24V DC) automatic gear shift. The lathe i'm doing a retrofit has a motorized (24V DC) linear actuator, a 3 speed gearbox with low speed= 14-275 rpm, mid= 40-785 rpm, high speed= 125-2500 rpm. The main motor is a 7,5kW with a Vsd ...

The servo motors can now be jogged manually, there where 2 problems: -thx to the advice to check the VM+ and VM- terminal, there is 350 Volt. The reason why there was no voltage,one contact of a the thermo-magnetic circuit breaker was not switching, so the input voltage for the rectifier was not ok....

There are no limit switches connected on the Oak-board, the idea is to use soft limit switches. When using the soft limit switches, must the Oak-board be wired with a "closed" switch, switch replaced by a wire? Can the E-stop contactor the reason why the servo motors cannot be jogged, when...

Parameters have been changed, P218 to 3, P308 to 7, P309 to 8, current settings for the servo motors: 41% Z-axe and 26% for X-axe, but servo motors cannot be jogged, home cannot be set. I made a fresh report with this new settings. When i toggle the E-stop, the led change from green to red, releasin...

I gone try to use the "small" fanuc servo A06B-0515-B074#7000, but there is a problem. The lathe have 2 axes,with the fanuc servo motors with both a 40.000 counts/rev encoder supplied by Centroid.The spindel have a 8000 counts/rev, also supplied by Centroid. A wireless MPG is set with para...

Dear Keith, I m working on a retrofit of a Colchester lathe, with a OAK board, and have some questions. I m just checking if the original Fanuc servo motors can be reused. The types are early Red cap servo motors. A06B-0516-B074#7000 on the Z-axe, torque=5,9 Nm, 4,1Amp, 3 phase, 8 poles, 1500 rpm, e...
