I have a Tru Cut series one table. They are out of business with very limited information on these.
I want to run the acorn system and get rid of the Mach 3 setup.
I have gecko drives for the motors and a Thermal Dynamics A80 plasma.
I’m open to any advice or suggestions.
Thanks

welcome to the forum. Can you post some pictures of the table? Specifically the Z axis and both sides of the Gantry. Really want to see the drive type on the gantry .

Any model numbers or information on the motors and drives?

The Thermal Dynamics A80 will certainly work for normal cutting operations. As far as the THC being compatable, I Haven't known anyone to hook the THC to a Thermal Dynamics cutter yet. Thermal Dynamics and Esab seem to be higher end systems and I'm assuming there divided voltage output is clean.

I’m having trouble putting pictures on here.

Starting a Google photo album is usually the best way to share images.

I’ve tried a couple of different ways and can’t get it to work.

Start an album here and share the album and post a link to it for us to see it.

answer: maybe. Thermal Dynamics are good units. If you are careful in measuring the analog output of the TD unit to verify that it is outputting clean 0-10 vdc torch voltage with no grounding issue / voltage leaks before connecting to the TX board it might work.

Should I upgrade my Gecko drives to the Gecko Raptor drives when I install the Acorn?
My drives are from 2012 I'm assuming the newer drives have improvements.
