[Emc-users] Servo replacement for stepper
I have rotation stage as shown on picture below, and would need some recommendations which servo motor to choose for replacing stepper (nema17 frame size). Stage has 180:1 ratio.

Re: [Emc-users] Conversion Suggesions?
Quoth Jeshua Lacock. I figured backlash was common to just about all reasonably priced mills, and I was wondering what folks did with them to compensate with CNC. FWIW, I cnc'd my WMD30LValike reasonably priced mill using the standard ACME screws thinking that backlash could be compensate for by software and/or that the backlash wouldn't annoy me. Neither was true (cutting forces push/pull the tool around the backlash envelope creating facets on the work) and I'm now in the middle of retro-fitting ballscrews ...which I should have done in the first place; Gawd knows there's enough advice on that there Internet saying 'just fit ballscrews'. -- Regards, Russell | Russell Brown | MAIL: russ...@lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Tex Steve (PMDX) have done a couple ball screw micromills. I go to the monthly meetings and have seen them;) I think Tex has to machine the nut a little to fit but they appear to work great.

Re: [Emc-users] Machinekit Gui
I think really what i want from a Gui is something that has no bells or whistles,for instance graphics while i am running the machine or liveplot as it is called. Also something that is functional for a metal cutting cnc. I have worked on Cnc machines for the best part of 35years and some of the screens in Linuxcnc are not really workable in that enviroment. I wrote my own screens for mach3 but it seems near impossible in Linuxcnc at this point. But i suppose i will have to get stuck in and edit or create something that works for me,because i sure do like machinekit. -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Emc-users] Machinekit Gui
Don't tell it is nearly impossible, as it is easier than ever bevore! Take a look at gscreen. It has been designed specialy for that purpose! As an example gmoccapy is based on that. If you do not want a live plot, it is just two steps away, as it can be deleted very easy.

Re: [Emc-users] Conversion Suggesions?
On Thursday 23 January 2014 12:43:06 Stephen Dubovsky did opine: Tex Steve (PMDX) have done a couple ball screw micromills. I go to the monthly meetings and have seen them;) I think Tex has to machine the nut a little to fit but they appear to work great. Might want to drop Steve a line again and see what they're doing if he doesn't pipe in here first. Steve sent me an 8mmx5 that I cut down and used for the X screw in my 7x12. I did not modify the nut, but made a one piece cage for it I had to pry open a little to get it wrapped around the nut, squeezed it back shut with my vice, held shut by the mounting screws, and that works well. He had fitted some slightly oversized balls, and said he could supply more at $XX per if I was interested, but a couple more attempts to get that in motion for at least 2 more have faded into the no reply from Steve category. They are only 13 long, and with my bigger tables from LMS fitted, not long enough for the X even with an extension similar to what I did in the lathe. The Y is long enough I would move the motor to the rear to keep me from bruising myself as I walk by, but the X has only enough room for about a .700 tall nut maximum, and those flange less cartridges are .750 in diameter. One might be able to polish about 30-35 thou off the sides and turn the recycle tubes to the side and find room that way. My Z drive is a turning nut design that could be adapted to a 16mm screw fairly easily, but its now a 1/2 10 tpi acme with a pair of nook nuts to adjust the backlash, and since I added ball bearings against the post to triple the bearing length of the sled casting, is now working very well, backlash might be a thou the stiction seems to be totally gone. Carving a pcb just deep enough to cut the copper without damaging the glass under it is now possible. The lack of some method to do plated holes, or a source of micro rivets to do the same is one of the two of my major impediments to doing good double sided pcb's now. The other is lack of spindle rpms at 2500 max, which is why I asked about those cheap chinese R8 equipt motors that put 12k revs in a 52mm diameter package. But I lagged off on that when somebody mentioned the sloppy run-out of that R8's connection to the motor shaft would guarantee. Anyway, if Steve is copying the mail here, I'd like 2 more of those. At the moment, I am up to my formerly x-rated things in trying to restore an HP4815A RF Vector Voltmeter, its probe is very fragile electrically, and not HP repairable since back in the '87 time frame. I just bought one, cosmetically brand new but without the probe, I have the docs, and believe myself able to repair one, or make another, but that seems nigh impossible without way better pix than there are in a pdf, where a grad student at Walla Walla University tried to make one with usable but not spectacular results. He didn't take near enough pictures, and the pcb's he did make I would have been tempted to throw away as scrap. Apparently he had no access to a real probe to disect it for ideas. I have no clue what coax was used in the probe cabling either, a real puzzle since the cabling they used was about .3 in diameter, and contained 9 coax cables in that .3, all matched to about 1/16 in length since the whole thing is a sampler with nominally 1.2ns sampling pulses. Making it work right, from scratch, probably needs a P.R. witch doctor waving a specific breed of dead chicken over it. But I'd give it a shot if a had one to disect that I couldn't repair. And I think I could repair one if I could buy a bum one. The problem? A 15 volt static charge will destroy it. See offer of 100 USD for one I can disect in the sig. TBT, ebay needs a WTB section.

[Emc-users] CoreXY Kins and the BeagleBoneBlack with MachineKit
Hey Guys, Im working on building a 3D printer using a CoreXY kinematic setup and was wanting to use the BeagleBoneBlack and the PBX-BB Cape to control it and using the latest version of MachineKit that was released at the end of Dec. In my Google searching I've found support is slim, and most of the posts point me back to this http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/26302-cnc-avec-systeme-h-bot-ou-corexy discussion on the community forum. When I try to follow Andy's instructions inputting the instructions to activate it I get the following: sudo comp --install core_xy_kins.c - sudo comp command not found sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev - linuxcnc-dev not found (I also found that google translate ruins code haha) So where I'm at now, is I cant seem to install linuxcnc-dev, and there is nothing in my sources for linuxcnc. I dont want to add anything and break MachineKit either. I haven't dove in super deep into how its built so Im not sure what all I can mess with.-- Thanks, Joe Spanier No Trees were harmed in the sending of this email, but a great number or electrons were terribly inconvenienced -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Emc-users] CoreXY Kins and the BeagleBoneBlack with MachineKit
Ok Got that figured out. Turns out my first issue was the core_xy_kins.c file was empty, so that wasnt helping anything. But I had to drop sudo as well. I was able to get it compiled and I can start my config with core_xy_kins in my HAL. But it doesnt seem to change anything. Moving in the x only moves the X motor, same for y. Is there something I will have to hook together in my net pins? Im guessing it would be similar to slaving two axes together like in gantrykins? Again thank you for the help.
