CENTROID Hickory Install Manual?

Thanks, that is what I thought, just wanted to make sure I was clear on it. I did all the tuning with it on the bench, but just wanted to run it again now that the motors are in the machine, so it is tuned real world. Gary

Thanks Keith for the manual. I have been reading through it and have a couple of questions. It has been quite some time since I did my initial bench testing and there are several steps added here in the manual that weren’t in the original sheets, such as the communication stress test and spindle bench test.

I have everything mounted in the machine at this point and I am very close to start up. I intend to do some back tracking and perform those additional tests, which I assume is a good idea.

The main question is about the set up of the LeadShine EL7 motors and drives. There is no mention of the tuning of the motors using the factory software in the manual. I assume that should be completed before ever hooking the drives to Hickory or should that step fall somewhere in the tuning and set up of the CNC12/Hickory?

Thanks Gary

The Hickory Manual is a general hookup and configuration guidance. then each Tech Bulletin that is reference in the Hickory Installation manual contains the set of specific instructions for a particular drive.

so if you are building a hickory system you will need at least two main documents
1.) The Hickory Installation Manual.
2.) The Tech Bulletin with information on how to configure your specific drive.
