Here are a few pictures of the cables I received. I noticed the cut insulation first, which probably caused me to scrutinize the cables and crimps more carefully. The electrical connection crimps appear to be solid. These aren't issues I'd spend time contacting Teknic over because I can simply cut b...

Thanks for the replies. 1st, I just realized that this is probably a factor of the post-processor in my cam software more than it is. I don't see any reason that Acorn couldn't control the system provided it can drive a Z, X, and C axis accurately. Which as far as I know it can without issue. As lon...

Thanks for the feedback Marty. I’ll reach out to them. I’d also like to see the IPC-5 that had terminal blocks instead of molex connectors. That said, I did just shorten one of the Teknic Sabre cables on a build I am doing now. I have to say I have not been impressed with the Teknic cables I have re...

I am exploring building a custom machine that will have a layout most similar to a lathe, but it’s primary purpose will be milling using a C axis. It would be a 3 axis machine with x,z, and C axis. I have seen that some systems that allow for x, y movements to be converted into x, c movements by the...

Thanks so much for all of your detailed replies! I ordered the one from ebay several people suggested. Thanks!

I am looking for a decent tool length sensor that I can mount permanently to the machine to easily touch off tools. I have a spindle with ceramic bearings, and I have heard that this can cause a poor electrical connection for sensors based on conductive tooling. Since I'd like to touch off periodica...

Cant wait to see the update!

Any ideas??

Did you see my post?

Do you have a +24v jumper going to the +24v terminal near the inputs? Is that red wire going to 24IN or input 8? I’d suggest pulling up the schematic and double checking that portion of the diagram. Also, I see an exposed wire hanging right over your acorn. That is a big risk, weather it is 24v or c...

1. Have you tested at 400khz? I am using that because of a 4th rotary axis setup that has a 15:1 gear reduction, and wanted to maximize steps/rev for that setup. I don't follow. If you wanted to resolve something like 0.01 degrees (which I doubt you'd ever need) with a 15:1 ratio, you'd only need 3...
