Do you have a Turret on the 3rd or 4th motor axis?

Lathe VCP non-functional X- and Z+ keys. Having read o post related to this topic , I tried my Acorn Lathe conversion VCP and found that mine don’t work! I am running CNC12 lathe version 4.64 with a current Acorn board, with a Centroid Wireless MPG, without any issues. I normally jog for setting up...

I have installed the Centroid Acorn as per the instructions I have got X and Z working with the VCP and wireless jog pendant. The homing switches work and the X and Z home correctly and jog in all directions and are calibrated. I then copy the files from the ATC axis driven lathe folder to the CNCT ...

I am having the same issue with 2 CL86T drivers. Originally I bench tested them fine, installed on the machine and after a few test moves that worked fine sporadically would get stuck only moving in one direction. If I swap drives Y for X for example the problem follows the drive which leads me to ...

Not that I have any help on your issue. I am in the process of a build and come across things that make me question. In other builds using Mach 3 I had issues with noise occasionally and they were hard to trace if I ever solved them. On your Din rail in image 5, there is a yel/grn block. This type ...

SOP machine tool building: get basic motion working before introducing the complexities of an ATC. get Z and X moving and calibrated, homing working, spindle working etc. etc.. the entire machine execpt for the ATC.... then and only then introduce the ATC plc program, additional axes , etc.etc. Tha...

I have a lathe with rotary clockwise direction rotation ATC.I had the same problem yesterday.I fitted a Step Dir stepper motor to the turret ATC and stepper motors with encoders to the Z and X axis. I was unable to fix it so i installed a new Windows 10 on my AIO computer 16GB ram i5 with SSD drive....

Hi Marty, I have the same problem with my Z Axis on my lathe. I thought that it was a wiring fault but i re-wired the step and direction connections and then put hot glue on the wires and driver plugs to stabalise them and stop the wires from bending and breaking. I did the same to the encoder wire...

Also, there is no reason to be using hot glue on anything. All control wiring should be stranded wire and not solid wire. Post a picture of your control cabinet if you don't mind. Marty All the wiring is multi stranded for flexibility. The bootlace ferrules that i am using have space around the wir...

Than it runs only in one direction.

There are only 6 DIP switches on the Stepperonline CL86T drivers
