I looked over the manual several times and don't see where RPM can be displayed instead of the ordered FREQ/ And suggestions?

Do you still have precision ballscrew retrofit kits with a yoke for a bridgeport?
Dan Mauch
Have you checked that the encoder phases are correct? You may need to swap the channel A and B .

The manual says that the controller step and direction signals require +5 for signal return. My G540 reqiuires step and direction signals to have common signal ground. How canI make something to...
DaVinci new G540 Connection panel and hybrid stepper motor installation. Note that all three of the rubber coupling inserts were completely disintegrated. New ones cost $13 each from Techno

I can answer my own post. I relooked at the circuit board and see they use one L297 translator and 2 L298's in parallel thus they get the 4A. I think I might try is to bypass all the other...
I have been building stepper systems for the past 24 years. When I got the job to replace the existing system with a G540 and ethernet I had to remove the existing printed circuit board. I was...
First here is a video of the machine after retrofitting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJpBEUIUZrY&feature=youtu.be
I was tasked with installing a modern Gecko G540 and a Warp9 Ethernet smooth...
HUH! The parker manual for the digiplan sd3 says that the step voltage is 5V and must be greater than >3 and <8 VDC..

Here is a video of making herringbone gear halves https://youtu.be/N4BpWN26Iy0 I solved the calculation problem by simply using the jog button in laserwork s to jog to the centerline and then out to...
How about posting about 100 lines of G code that you did for your trunnion simulation?

Gmax is a 5 axis program by itself. Only with the cnctoolkit can do 5 axis but the toolkit hasn't been updated in the past year.
Dan
Can you name some of the Free 5 axis programs?

I disagree that fusion 360 would not replace Gmax and tool kit. I have been playing with fusion 360 and have been impressed with the improvements made. There is tremendous support for Fusion 360 and...

Is that the base version or the 5 axis fusion 360 ultimate?

The base version can do 3+2, which is what we...
Here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdXGNZvW7vY . I emailed them and asked them what software they were using. They said it was fusion360 base version.

I have been really disappointed in the lack of progress with Gmax and the cnc tool kit. Recently, my son told me about fusion 360 from autodesk. Right now the base version that you can get a 1 year...
I have a problem that I cannot get the ESS to run a stepper motor as a step and direction spindle.. I cannot get the ESS to put out a continuous stream of pulses by an M3 S300 command. Surely the...
Did you ever find out what those connectors were? I too am looking for them.

That's what I did on a couple of the techno Esel retrofits to Mach3 that I did several years ago but a few customers did not want me to add the gas strut so i came up with an electronic solution. I...
I was hoping that there would be some news about the 5 axis software that was mentioned last summer. I see that not much has been done on the cnc-tool-kit since Mike last updated it. Has there been...
I've seen this before on Mach3. What the problem is the state of the step and dir pins. Try change them from low to high or visa versa.

I have built quite a few 5 axis with the G540 and still using the parallel port or the Ethernet smooth stepper. The first thing you need to do is figure out is if your power supply can handle an...
Do you have a schematic of the 300Z control box? I think the power supply off the main one is the problem but really need a schematic to trouble shoot the problem. It powers up on the main side and I...
I replaced the Dahlgren 300 with my 4 axis control box. I also replaced the Dahlgren spindle motor with a 400W speed controller. My customer reports the new system is running great. He gave me the...
One of my customers has an engraving machine that we retrofitted with my G540 controls for the XYZ motors. We reused his existing spindle controller but it failed after a couple hours of use. So he...
I have done this quite a bit . I made had made a batch of small PC boards and soldered a male and female DB25 connectors onto it with a 3 pin header that sends step and direction signal to the G251....
Did you ever get any information or manual for that machine? Does anyone have any information about the spindle motor wiring? .
I have a neighbor that picked up one of these machines but there is...

I have a neighbor that picked up one of these machines but there is no documentation with it.
It has a 9 pin circular connector...
