Also, where are we on the CNC4PC creating the c86ACCP with terminal blocks. I have reached out to them about 3 times through their website and called 4 times without a single call back. I hope they get them ready to go soon. I am ready to start ordering parts! LOL (Just to follow up, they sent me an...

Enjoying the series. My question is, would it be acceptable to just wire the e stop to kill power to the entire cabinet. i could see a situation where the board or one of the power supplies malfunctioned and start to make magic smoke, and shutting off the power would be a better solution. I guess m...

Taylor, For X & Y axis I ordered SDSK-3421S-ELN . For X & Y axis you will want the ELN or a gear reduction, the Avid drive is just a little over 1:1 ratio. Due to my space limitations on the sides of the machine for access I went with the ELN motors to save space. For Z axis I ordered the l...

TaylorPilot, Great question. A bulk linear power supply has the advantage of stored energy for high accelerations and simulataneous multi-axis movement. Their downside is that the voltage is typically not stiff and the voltage will often droop when power is pulled from them. A switching power suppl...

Good deal. I figured it did. I saw the one they were selling for 1100 and was concerned. Thanks for the input on the cable. I know the ones with the metal sides are typically shielded. I just have never noticed that spec'd on a motherboard before.

Title says it all. Would the computer linked below be enough to run an Acorn properly? The CPU is a dual core 4.0 GHZ, SSD, 8 GB DDR4. How do I know if the ethernet is shielded?

This series is very timely for me, as I am planning a pretty similar motion control system. I am getting ready to start ordering components for an AVID gantry I ordered last week, and I have two questions (to start). Does anyone have a number for CNC4PC? I have a few questions, and left them a conta...

I built an Avid CNC Pro 6072 with Acorn and Clearpath servos and CNC Depot S30C ATC Spindle following many of the recommendations on the forum. The system has been performing well, just make sure to install the resistors on the Teknic control cables if required and follow proper grounding and shiel...
