I have a 3 axis machine with a wood router on it right now. Wasn't looking to make anything complicated, thought that carving out my name would be a good start to learn how things work. After I get...

2014, I tried using solidcam with it but couldn't get a post processor that worked directly. With HSM there is a post processor that will generate code for Kmotion?

Thx!

I have put together a machine from scratch using the KFlop/KAnalalog, Now I am stuck. I really dont know where to start with converting my drawing in Solidworks to G code. Can anybody point me in...

Anybody have any tips on what post processor to use to generate gcode out of solidcam 2014?

I think that .003" of accuracy will do! Once I get everything working perhaps I will work on cleaning the signals up more.

The issue I am having now is trying to figure out why channel 1...

Ahh, good catch, thanks!

Ben,

The X and Z axis motors are:
400W 3000 RPM motors

I'm getting 8192 counts per revolution.

1 in = ~45050 counts

About 5.499 revolutions per inch.

1 in = ~45050 counts

(This Forum is awesome.. not only for the feedback, but I find myself referring to it just so I know what I did every day! Hopefully it helps others as well, I didn't seem...

Ok, see the attached files. What is the max error we are trying to get under? The movement seems pretty smooth... I'll work on determining the encoder counts per inch / rotation in the meantime,...

So how do I attache the data file? looks like it is about 1.2mb.

The 2nd order actually helped this time. before it seemed like every time I added a filter it would start vibrating.

How do...

I started from scratch repeating these steps:
Since the DAC/Motor/Amplifer are working and the Encoder is working we should be now able to servo.

We have already set the default (low gain low...

Tom,

When the system powers on the SWE is enabled and my drivers contactor is activated. I have been manually activating JP13-1 to send the servo on command then jogging from the DIO screen...

So I've been reading a lot between the two posts you had me look at earlier. I've actually started compiling what was said betwen them into a single document in hopes it will make it easier to get...

Tom,

I think this is as fast as I can go... my framing isnt sturdy enough to move faster, a little top heavy with my Z-axis(will have to fix that later). Anyway, I wanted to check in and see if I...

Thanks Tom!

I have done the following:

#1 Check that the DAC can command Velocity to the Motor/Amplifier - good, I did have to reset the reference voltage on the driver again which I...

Ok, found a wiring mistake on the main contactor relay. The SWE starts once the board powers on now.

I am trying to configure the motors. I am running a Yaskawa SGDH-04AE for my X and Z-axis. ...

I have all 3 axis wired and ready to go (I think). I'm a little lost on how to configure the motors in the software or even how to enable the "SwitchEnableAll" to activate power to the drivers. ...

New Drawing Posted. I added the limit switches and the second 24v power supply for isolation when using the SwitchEnableAll.

With regards to the limit switches, I can use them for home flags as...

I have a smaller power supply I can use for that, And tie that 24v ground to the kflop/kanalog ground such as the ground on JP6?

If I use the SwitchEnableAll relay to control the contactors that power my drivers, how do I go about the connection? It looks like the manual says that it switches to ground. Do I set what that...

My plan was to use the optoisolators for the Servo-on command, it's good to know that there is the SwitchEnableAll option. As I have it built right now I have a circuit for an Emergency Machine Off...

Its a serial encoder on the motor. Specifically a 13-bit incremental encoder. The model number is SGMPH-04AAE41D.

Here is the manufactures web page regarding the motor: SGMPH Sigma II

Well... this is my first machine I am trying to throw together and I pretty much have 0 CNC experience but think it'd be a pretty darn cool toy. I have the X and Y axis operational after many hours...
