...also absolute encoders? -

Hi Magneto, I can only tell you my experience, I've never tried other spindles other than seeing and hearing them work on other machines for a short time. The spindle (Elte TMPE 4 10/2) is "not bad": I mean: silent, powerful (I haven't reached its limits yet), well done. The measured run o...

Dear CentroID community, I'd to show you my home-built CNC "for the world to see". Also because I'm particularly proud of it... I started with the desire to buy a CNC Router, I ended up building myself a monster. The AVID CNC kit was appealing: a CNC, a kit, relatively cheap… Analyzing pro...

Hello everyone, I have a dual motor gantry with two ballscrews, and I have verified that they are not perfectly identical. Therefore I would like to calibrate the Overall turn ratio of the two motors independently. The question is: When two motors are paired, the Overall Turns Ratio and Lash Compens...

...The reason why no machine positions are being stored and calculated upon, is because there is no machine position until the axis is homed. All of your variables are 0.


That's wrong.

Thank you tblough for your interest but I believe your suggestion does not fit the problem I have proposed. I tried to interpret your proposal and I honestly didn't understand (or misunderstood) ... Should I manually move switches and / or motors? That makes no sense to me. It’s a homing MACRO;- I c...

I created a macro for homing the axes using the Zri from each servos. The macro also performs the auto squaring using the Zri from the slave axis wired to a separate input and an inexpensive home switch. It works fine. Now, considering that for each axis the Zri homing position could be a full revol...

Great!
Thank you

CNC Router, CentroID: Following the schematic S15117, I wired my Delta VFD-E and then I set in the Wizard: Out3: VFDEnable Out4: SpinVFD Out5: VFDResetOut. (MySchematic attached). When I close the wizard, I get a popup message saying that VFDDirection (M3 / M4) cannot be used in conjunction with Spi...

Dear cnckeith, I thank you very much! after your last suggestion my head started processing the data received and something is came out. I put down the data I have in excel, setting the maximum possible distance in mm between the triggering of the home switch and the triggering of the ZRI (one revol...
