FWIW, I have used the DYN4 drive and servo in +/- 10V analog control using a Galil card for four years now. They work great in this application. I did have a huge learning curve getting them tuned...
I really struggle with tuning and always end up asking for help. Jim Dawson saved my a$$ last time. there is A LOT of great tuning info on the Galil website.
On the ref in, you may have the...
no, I would put one supply on each amp, separate. You will get far more efficiency if you got to the max voltage allowed.
You have a Z axis? Need to see you machine but maybe this could go with...
no where near enough amps.
maybe this...
Yep, 12A8 is what I use on two machines. Especially the mill moves a lot of steel, but i do not use out of this world accelerations. IMHO hi ACs just tear things up, you are not going to get any huge...
I don't have any that big. WOW, why so big for a plasma table??? I move a milling machine and a lathe with much smaller ones. AND you over trip that??
For wiring I will share the Hardinge. Look...
I really like the AMC servo amps to go with Galil cards and DC servos. I have several on the shelf to sell if you are interested.
I have both a CNCmill and a CNC lathe running these amps with...
I know its not cheap but Camsoft is the control to use with Galil cards. It is build specifically for this.
I have used Camsoft over 20 years now on five machines.
Your machine is not rigid enough for that cut. Try less DOC first, less feed. One trick that works for me is to use inserts made for AL. They actually have positive rake and less cut force. do not...
I used DMM's largest servos on my Vectrax CNC mill rebuild a few years ago. The machine works great.
I used them with a galil control card in +/- 10V analog mode and had a few learning issues. I...
This is a color code thing - red on servo is proprietary Fanuc - useless for upgrade. the problem is with their encoder, otherwise its an AC servo.
Yellow on servo means its a brushed DC unit....
let's look for the simple stupid stuff first.
Open your diagnostic window. The first several squares are the limit switches. if the installer did a good job, you can hover the mouse over each...

If you got a CNC pro license don't waste your time with lite. You can use that pendant on your mill and then move it to the other machine when needed. I have moved the dongle, or pendant, between a...
20 years ago, I got a Mazak M4 (20"x72" - 16,000 lb dual turret) lathe with a camsoft control. The original refitter got it running but did a poor job for reliability so i got it for a song.
It...
sorry, i do not recognize some of your hardware. I have heard of the CS 16600 card mentioned but never used one. My experience is all with the Galil card as the motion control.
IMHO, you are...
Could you include pics of any hardware you got with the camsoft purchase?
For DC servos, this AMC DC servo amp works very well with Camsoft...
There is no one size fits all here.
The tormach would be WAY to tiny for me but might fit your needs just fine.
yep, that desktop is pretty much just a toy.
They sell mill drills with this point angle, feed would be VERY slow, but no need to re fixture
I have known Ruben for 20 years. When the first level Camsoft techs. do not know the answer, they ask Ruben. He is THE EXPERT on all things Camsoft. I would most certainly go to him for any needed...
I got a maintenance manual from these folks. Their .pdf is secured so i can not give it to you.

Here is part 1. just a piece of scrap metal laying around the shop.

Say my machine is still on camsoft's website. You will have to register to see it.

I happen to have a CHNC with a Camsoft control. Wonderful combination.
I replaced the spindle motor with a 7.5 HP 3phase and VFD. The servos are brushed DC so servo amps are cheap and easily...
Say would somebody please double check me here?
The molex connector to the USB controller is an obsolete four pin style. We checked around and none of our running computers have one of these....
Just for the record here, Neil has been EXTREMELY helpful by email. he really knows these machines.
My son will be installing power supplies for the USB controller and getting a PC all set up this...
Thank you so much for the very kind offer. I just PMed my email.

Thanks for your reply. I am SURE to have many questions once we get a PC up and running.
