Success with Acorn CNCRP 4848Pro Clearpath Servos

Post by Devlin »

I just finished my CNCRP/Avid 4848Pro cnc using the Acorn Controller, ClearPath SDSK Servos Nema 34, and a cheap water cooled Spindle. I will probably upgrade to the AVID Spindle soon. I need to go through the settings in Acorn to ensure that I have the best speed I can get. It seems to pause a little to much on the Z movements. I also need to look at the Clearpath settings as those can be effecting it. The Servos have tuning settings to minimize shaking, hard stop and starts. You can also adjust the max speed, torque, and number of missed steps before a drive fault occurs. If you get a jam or hit a limit the missed steps, not moving will allow the servo to stop before any damage. Enjoy the videos.
