New Router for Acorn

[cbb1962]

I am testing C86 Acorn from CNC4PC. May have discovered an issue, we hope to resolve it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Please let me know the resolution.

Marty, Any word on the C86?

I made great progress yesterday. I got the e-stop, homing switches, and limit-all switches all sorted out. (Thank you Marty on how to mix my NO and NC overtravel limit switches!) I removed the 2nd PLC on the Z-Axis and landed the DC Power and I/O on terminal blocks. (I'm waiting on an Ether1616 for all the tool change connections.) I checked the Spindle RPMs with a Tach and Acorn sent 24,000 the Spindle turned at 23,995

However, I noticed that when homing the machine - the Y-Axis was really jerky at 10 IPM. It appears to move smoothly at 750 IPM. I feel like this is a tuning issue. How can I tune hardware paired Y1 and Y2??? I am using Yaskawa Sigma II servos and I have the SigmaWin+ software to communicate directly with the drives - but it only connects one at a time. I'm sure there is a way, I just haven't found it yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.

And I got my dust collector wired and tested

Do you have a master and a slave on the Y axis? Are they both setup identically in the Wizard and the drives? Just a thought...

[cbb1962]

They are hardware paired, and the parameters in the drives are identical, except for rotation direction.

Perhaps Marc Leonard will chime in or perhaps Keith. I don't experience with Yaskawa drives....yet....
