Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Acorn does not support up down inputs you need a proma SD unit for that or neuron . buy the tame you buy all that . the acorn thc much better option . the big plus all your speed and thc settings in the screen profile mgr . so if you need to change them it simple change. no need to do reposting in s...

thanks Keith i emailed them right now just digging on motor choice . some guys say Teknic recommended CPM-SDSK-3441S-RLN but it max speed only 800 rpm there HP version also .

i got Bridgeport boss interact i was made cnc from Bridgeport.. it currently has old Bridgeport steppers. i like to convert it to use clear path motors if possible . use acorn
question what clear path motor size is needed.


second motor choice be DMM or Yaskawa drives .

check file section on my fb page chc plasma table builders . thers a gantry riser DXF in there that uses avid pro drive 20 deg rack . check my posts it stepper driven table it out run most servo for half the price cit like 30 k table . it all in motor and reduction drive voltage combo . i posted pic...

Steppers i found using 900 oz 34 motors . 8 wire wired series wire 72 v gecko vampire drive . with 3 to 1 reduction 1 inch pinion gear 20 deg rack it speeds 1200 ipm acceleration setting .15 this is very fast stepper driven table That with 30 percent reduction for safety. check my build posts . i us...

We need a centroid build Divider card like the Proma Divider . That way we can make China cutters work on acorn

Getting ready to test Prime weld 60 on acorn plasma thc . What i found . The internal divider not very good . No filtering Voltage sikes wrong voltage . So i installed a Proma voltage divider . results after testing much better . Hear is an install video i made https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Qip...
