Hi Neil. I really appreciate you getting back to me so quick. I tried to run the test through the test pump only (dump valve open) command and nothing happens. The timer starts and the pressure stay...

Hi all. I've been having an intermittent problem witht my Omax 2652. On some occasions the machine works fine and then on other occasions I get the charge pump pressure low fault not allowing the...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will try both tomorrow and let you know my results. Hopefully it is something minor.. :)

Hi... I have a Vexta 5 phase udx5128 drive hooked up to a newer upk569auha 5 phase stepper motor. For some reason I am getting excessive vibration when running/jogging the motor. The motors moves...

Hi everyone.. So I had a question in regards to a 5 phase motor drive combination. I have a udx5128 Vexta 5 phase drive that I am trying to combine with a pk569auha vexta 5 phase motor. My question...

Hi there.. I have a UDx5114N (Vexta 5 phase 1.4amp driver) and PK569auha 2.8 amp stepper motor. I was curious to find out if it will be a problem to drive the motor with this driver. I imagine I...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone... So I think the first thing I am going to need to do is definitely spring load the pinion to the rack.. How strong a spring would you say would be...

Thanks for all of the input everyone...I will try them all trust me... I'll let you know the results and if anyone else has any brainstorms I am all ears.

Answer to question 1: I do not have...

Thanks for input everyone..

CarveOne: I am going to try and support the rack as you mentioned by temporarily wedging something in there. The gantry cross member is 1/2" aluminum plate with a 1...

I took a look at the teeth and they are meshed together well. From what I can tell the the rack is at a 90 degree from the pinion. As far as the cross member, I am not sure.... When I hop under the...

Hey there all.. I have a problem I have fighting for awhile and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas. I built a 5'x10' CNC router about 4 years ago that ran on 1" ball screws. It worked...

Well that was it!!!!! It runs like a champ!!!!! It's so nice to see it glide across the table so smoothly. Thanks to you both for chiming in and helping me get through this. You don't know how much...

Thanks for those links. They both explained exactly what I was trying to understand. I am off to go try it and see how it works. I'll let you know the results.

I believe I am running them bipolar series. Red paired with blue and black paired with green. I am not familiar with half coil wiring. Would I basically tie the red and white together on one side...

Thanks for the reply rowbare. The heat of the motors shouldn't really be a problem then. I haven't actually cut anything yet, so I don't know what the edge finish would be, but the groaning noise...

I was hoping someone could shed some light on a problem I am having. Let me give you the setup I have first:

4 Vexta 6 wire 6volt 1.2 amp motors
4 IMS ib462 drivers set to half stepping(40 volt...

Precision Drive Systems in North Carolina was so helpful in getting me straightened out. Thanks again Doug!

Hi there...So I just wired up a Colombo 7hp spindle that I thought I had working properly until I went to cut a 1/2" piece of plywood which stalled the spindle and snapped by bit. I thought I had...

I will definitely retune then. Thanks.. :)

Hi there. I am running the rutex 2020 drives with US Digital 1000 line encoders and mach 3. I am thinking about switching to 250 line encoders to get my speeds up. My question is... Will I need to...

Thanks Jerry....The problem was with the card. I swithced it out with my x axis and it worked fine. Sent it off to Tom at Rutex today. He is going to take care of it for me.

So I purchased the Rutex 2010 drives about a year ago..My setup is rutex 2010 drives with 1000 line US Digital encoders and Mach 3. Everything has been working great for the past year. However, I...

Thanks for the compliments on the machine...It was a lot of fun to build...

You know... the 28th room on the west wing was screaming for a little change...So I figured why not a cnc router... ...

Gerry....That was it.....I turned off the backlash and just left the constant velocity and it runs smooth as silk. Thank you soo much.......I really appreciate it....

Lakeside....Thank you very...

Still does the same thing...Goes and then does a funny little jag move..

I stepped through the code and the digital readout of the current position is equivalent to the last move. It looks like the cutter is being corrected, but not sure why. On a circle, the correction...

I dropped it down to 25ipm and still the same thing. It's almost as if it is correcting itself. Maybe getting off track and then hitting an error limit somewhere that says, "get back to where you...

Hi...Thanks for your quick reply.. Backlash comp is turned on, it is in constant velocity mode. I have attached a pic of the settings screen and the gcode that was run. Thanks..

Hi there...So I just got my machine up and runnning. Servos running Mach 2 right now. When I try to cut a circle or as pic below will show a "C", the arc does not cut in a fluid motion. Actually...

Sweet Thanks for your quick reply.......I went with the 1" wave washers...
