I made a core xy Arduino Grbl plotter , before assembling both x and y stepppers worked properly and once when I tried x axis command both y and x stepper started moving in opp direction when I pressed the y command both x and y start ed moving in same direction.. I checked each and every connection multiple times. Stilll it persists and later I replaced each parts separately a4988 drivers , Arduino, CNC shield v3 ..... but nothing worked I even tried uninstalling and installing Arduino IDE flashed Grbl again but still this problem is still there I don’t know what t do. If any can help me that would be a great help .. thanks in advance !
Here is my setup : a4988 drivers , Nema 17 4.2 kgcm ,CNC shield v3 , Arduino Nano ,Grbl 0.9i , power supply :19v 4a ,configuration : core xy (h bot )

How to network a Syntec controller

Hi, I have recently purchased a 3600x1800 pod & rail woodtron CNC router. It uses a Syntec 21 series controller and I have purchased BobCad cad/cam software to use with it. They are currently writing the post processor for it.

Does anyone have any experience with the Syntec controller, specifically connecting it to a network to import/load NC files.

I have found a few tutorials online but not the exact controller and no success as yet. I have also looked at the manual again again looks to be the manual for the series not the specific controller. I'm also unfamiliar with Windows which is a learning curve in itself!

Cheers

Cam.

Need Help! Chinese CNC 160x100 mm with Woodpecker Controller

November 7, 2017, 11:22 pm

I got a chinese CNC from Amazon that came with a "Woodpecker 2.7 GRBL"

The package came with grblControl 0.8 for Windows which seems to mostly work. I wired up limit switches as shown on this forum but grblControl 0.8 doesn't stop. I tried Candle 1.1.7 but I get get the jog conrols to work at all and doesn't stop at the limit switches either. I have noticed that most Woodpecker boards are labeled "Woodpecker CNC GRBL".
Does anyone know about the Woodpecker 2.7?
Is there a better version of grblControl / Candle?
How can I get my limit switches to work?

Need Help! Spindle dead?

Hi guys. Im a newbie to all these. I got myself a chinese CNC 3040Z-DQ machine. Assembled the machine and everything works fine. Learned how to draw 3D objects and creating tool paths. When I tried the first engraving, 1 of the gcode was wrong and lead to the spindle plunge all the way down. Jammed then stopped. I stopped the Mach3 right away. Removed the drill bit from the wood and the spindle wont run again. X Y Z still works controlled by my laptop. Just the spindle doesnt workor spins anymore. Checked the cables connects to the spindle with a DC voltage of only 0.4 Vdc. The controller machine is on and connected to mach3. I disassembled the spindle and everything seemed fine in the inside. Anyone can shed me some lights whether its the spindle or the controller having problem? Or where should I check inorder to know what should I get for replacement or get it repaired?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the spec of the Z ball screw?

A load of ball bearing have come out of the bushing/bearing and i need to replace it.

Also is it possible to replace the Z system for something alot more flexible for different spindles?

Broken tool detection

We are wanting to use the breakage detection function. Sub-program name"OO30" on our horizontal Okuma MX-40HA mill with OSP-U100M control.

The machine has the touch probe that is mounted to the Z axis saddle.



We have a big job that has some expensive special tooling. We are wanting to run it lights out after second shift leaves.
All that we need to check is the tool length in the Z axis. To verify if the tool is broken or not and stop the machine if it is.
There is a page full of variables in the manual, and I'm not sure what I need or don't need.



Can someone send me a sample program on how to use it in auto mode?

Thank you!

In the Beginning--Bridgeport & EZ-CAM

Bridgeport and EZ-CAM dominated the market together, and EZ-CAM carried Bridgeport in the CNC arena. Bridgeport started in 1938 without a competitor in sight. Bridgeport mills fueled most every job shop right on up to every corporate enterprise. Even in its inception, EZ-CAM paired flawlessly with the early CNC controls. “EZ-CAM was feeding unimaginable amounts of code to every CNC machine Bridgeport could push out.” EZ-CAM changed the future of manufacturing. Accuracy, speed, and complex parts became attainable.
EZ-CAM became famous through easy to grasp concepts and supported Bridgeport’s massive customer base. Soon, EZ-CAM expanded into the Turn and EDM markets. The need for a programmer to master G & M codes went by the wayside. At the click of a button, pages of code stand ready for your every machine.
EZ-CAM increased functionality in Feature Recognition, Tool Based Machining, wizards, and the user interface. Feature Recognition automatically creates cutter paths. Tool Based machining loads your machining strategies after you select a tool. Wizards rid overwhelming and unnecessary clutter when programming complex shapes. The user interface is packed with keyboard shortcuts, and functions are easily identified graphically through eye-catching menu items.

Techno Isel Lathe-throwing my hat in the ring

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum (and cnc for that matter) and have just bought a Techno Isel 9x20 cnc lathe. I tried a few other forums and was promptly dismissed..... Lol It seems people forget they weren't born with all this valuable information and started somewhere at some point in their lives, but I digress. I'll get off my soap box. I was excited to see a mentor forum here. This is a very good idea!

I would like to use an Acorn controller with the Gecko G320x drives. I have found a little information to share in hope that someone could look at it and see if the encoders and servos will work. The info is a mix of PDF files and text. I'm unable to attach the PDF's. I don't know if the text will make much sense without the pictorial diagram of the circuit panel. I also have a cut sheet if the servo in PDF but can't attach it either. I'll have to figure out why and post when I get it sorted out. Thanks guys.

The text is as follows:


Techno-Isel Metal Lathe - ENCODERS


They're standard line driver units, quadrature output a, b, z. They are 4000 counts per Rev. 5 volts input.
Techno used several different models, but all had the same numbers.

I believe the encoders are Dynapar HS35.

Here is some lathe porn. I still can't download the pdfs. I saved them to google drive and this attachment process doesn't seem to like that.

New Machine Build Torch offset height help required

Hi All.

*

I’ve recently completed my plasma cutter CNC machine. I’ve managed to home it on Mach 3 and tuned the motors to etc.

I’m a 3D design by trade so creating DXFs is not an issue. I’m stuck with getting the Torch end to raise up after it’s homed by touching the material surface.

I believe this is in the code? Can someone point me in the right direction as to what to do next? Also are there any cheap or free g code generating programmes out there to get this machine to behave the way it’s supposed to.

*

Many Thanks
