Need Help! Replacing M542 with Gecko G203V

$
0
0
Thank you all in advance. As my ID, I'm as green as it comes.
I have been toying with this Chinese 6060 CNC 3-Axial since day one 2 years ago. Supplied with Mach3.
Took me 6 months to get it running as it should(my very first CNC). Manufacturer provide hopeless support.
Came across discussions on Gecko drives & was very impressed. So I got three of them & a C25R3 from HomannDesign here in Australia.
My intention is to upgrade my existing M542 with Gecko G203V & hopefully will improve the performance. Have also install a Smooth-Stepper from warp9td & is still running.(with the Chinese BOB)

I have tried to simply replace the M542 with the G203v & that does not seem to work at all.
The original BOB has no name. simply listed as Mach3 control board v2.1

The first Bob stop working after 8 months & was replaced by same one I purchased from Aliexpress.
Reliability seems not included in the CNC I purchased.

Open for any suggestions on which BOB to acquire & any other bits needed to get it running smoothly.
My spindle is 2.2KW running off a FC300 VFD.

Life is good.

Help please Okuma OSP-200 Safety I/O alarm 758

$

We have a small number of identical Okuma's

One machine keeps giving me alarm 758 Alarm P Safety I/O 41600040 on bootup
Alarms out during auto mode 758 Alarm P Safety I/O error C2810F0B often, about 10 mins of operation.

We had some coolant contaminated proximity sensor wires. Been replacing them as I find them.

Alarm book does not mention C2810F0B. Not sure how to interpret that error.

41600040 points to Input overcurrent on board 6.

Any help would be appreciated,

ESTOP problems with G540

$

My Linuxcnc setup has been working fine, up until today.
I did a few tests of the machine earlier in the day to make sure I had soft limits set, and was able to jog around OK.
Just now though, when I want to run a real job, I can't get it to come out of ESTOP mode.

The FAULT LED on the G540 is not on, the POWER LED is lit. Checking status with the ptest script shows that pin 15 is LOW as it should be. Using hal-meter under Linuxcnc shows E-STOP as FALSE.

I haven't made any changes to the Linuxcnc configuration.

Any ideas as to where to look next?

About Kress spindle

$

Hi everyone,

I bought a new Kress spindle to replace the old one which had used for many years and had the brush commutators replaced several times. The old one was very good in quality, so I bought the second piece.

However, lately, I check the run-out on the both spindles' inner taper holes that used for the location of collet. The new one has 0.07mm T.I.R. while the old spindle has 0.01mm. I am desperate as I bought it for almost half year and can't return it for replacement.

Now,I want to fix it by doing a little touch up on the taper hole. Like; to mount it on lath and mount a hand grinder to grind the hole once while the Kress spindle run itself.
Is it possible? Or, will I make the thing worse?

Thanks in advance...

Kmotioncnc version 4.33 Z shifts 24.4mm when switching from inches to mm

$

Just installed Kmotioncnc v4.33 and I've encountered an odd issue. If I zero the axises and then switch from inches to mm it changes the Z value to 24.4mm. If I then zero that it becomes -0.9606". It's not just when zeroed, it adds or subtracts 24.4mm (-0.9606) any time I switch back and forth. I rolled back to v4.32 and it works correctly. Any ideas?

Another clue, when I open v4.33 the Z axis default is -1.00 mm and when I switch to inches it doesn't change values... but once I set a value or zero the axis then it begins adjusting. Being that an inch is 25.4mm I suspect they are related.

This happens with or without the board connected.

Here I set Z to 2.0" and then flipped to mm... 75.2?

Delta 20 Power Supply

Hi all:

Haven't used my Tree 325 in about a year. Went out to turn it on, and the spindle fan went on, but nothing else.

Did some checking, and found low voltage at the power supply output. Pulled it out, and I figured I would replace all the capacitors. All the date codes were 1989 or 1990.

Also, I checked around for a new power supply. I think I found one with the correct voltages.

Does anyone know about the power supply, other than the voltages ? There is some kind of power failure circuit in the power supply. I think it monitors the 5 volt output, and somehow controls the 24 volt output.

Tree 325 Way Covers

Hi All:
Been doing some maintenance to my Tree 325.

The way covers on my machine look homemade to me. I found a copy of the factory brochure online, and it appears they did not come with way covers.

I'm sure I can fab something up. Just wondering what the rest of you have on your machines.
