I'm located in the far far West. Hawaii.

@John:
I have a 50 ton injection molder and I started making a new one but smaller
that I was going to control with an Arduino.
The CNC machines are one bug steel frame router table and a retrofitted
operation center. Both are servo driven.
I would love to help but I guess you are on mainland.

@Ron:
Thanks for the tip, will look into that.

Hello Rob and thanks for your interest in helping me!

I was trying to find your posts on the forum but there are so many that I
can't. Can you point me to the post if you remember the name of it? or may
be your user name on the forum?.

The control of the machine is a Mazatrol T1. The servo motors are
Mitsubishi, and the drives are Meldas. The servo drives model numbers are
TRA-31A and TRA-41A.

The main concern for me is how to set up the connection to run the drives
with LinuxCNC. From what I could read, it seems that if I let everything as
it is, and run the drives with the ready signals and the analog voltage for
the velocity they should turn. The tachos will be telling to the drives the
actual speed and I would only have to close the loop on LinuxCNC using the
resolvers. I guess it's not more difficult than that. But I would love to
hear suggestions!

Yes indeed kirk. They are Mitsubishi DC servos, and the drivers look like
they are Meldas, although they have the Mitsubishi logo.

They have the tachometer on the motors, and resolver directly coupled on
the screws.

Hi Sven,

Where are you located? What kind of milling machine were you
controlling with LinuxCNC?   I am sort of meandering my way toward
setting up a domestic manufacturing cooperative and am contemplating
building a LinuxCNC control milling machine.We are also sort of
working our way toward getting a small 25 ton injection molding
machine up and running.

If you are near by, is building a LinuxCNC control mill something you
are interested in?

Sven,
 Thanks for the well thought out explanation I have not seen much of
MadCam maybe I need to investigate further. Good luck in your search.  If
you had needed the part machined from solid stock I may have been able to
help but I do not have plastic injection molding capabilities her. Good
luck in your search. Peace

hi
looks the same servos as on the M0 which is a machine i retrofitted, its 
a Mill but the same deal check the linuxcnc forum i put alot of info 
on the drives on there when we did our retrofit with the old DC servo 
drives...


if you need to know anything else let me know ill try and help the best 
i can...

what is the melda control model? or more so what are the servo drive 
numbers i might have a manual of sorts

Try John Oly at seemecnc.com. They sell 3D printers, but got into it 
because they have a good injection molding ability. they have mentioned

Re: [Emc-users] OT: US member doing injection molding?

2014-11-19 Thread Sven Wesley
Hi Pete,

This part requires injection molding and a UV-resistant plastic. I would
like to do it in PC due to it's durable properties but that's a tough
plastic to work with so I'm willing to use something else, PET would
probably work too.

I do have some knowledge. My workshop has injection moulders and several
CNC machines for mold making.
MadCAM is a plugin for Rhino 3D that can make everything up to 5 axis
simultaneous. The LinuxCNC Post processor included in the application is my
fault. :)
It's not for free though, but compared to the other competitors I think
there is no one who can compete with the features in that price range. And
the lead developer is a well experienced guy in tooling so he is not just a
programmer, he has both an injection molding company and a tooling workshop
under his wings. I would guess 15 employees doing this kind of things all
day long. Unfortunately this project is a bit too small for them in
quantity figures.

Re: [Emc-users] OT: US member doing injection molding?

2014-11-19 Thread Pete Matos
Sven,
Perhaps if you can post a photo of the part or the cad drawing people
could be able to give you a better idea of who and how to make it. It might
be able to be built in other ways as well but it sounds like you have a
good bit of knowledge in that arena. I see you have several MadCam videos
online that looks interesting have not seen or heard much about it. Peace

Pete

Are you looking for someone to make the mold, do the molding, or both?

I know a local guy who is good for small runs of molded parts, but he isn't
equipped to make very complex molds (2.5D cnc, manual milling and turning,
sinker EDM).  He uses a lot of aluminum molds.

Subject: [Emc-users] OT: US member doing injection molding?

Anyone of our members making plastic parts?
I have a small piece I want to make a few hundreds of, but since I moved to
the US I have no access to a workshop and my own workshop is shut down and
closed until I decide to move back.

It's an end cap to a mirror mount, transparent, not big but a little bit
complex shape. I would have made the tool in aluminium (like Alumek) as the
quantity will not be super high. Less than 1000 within a year or two I
believe.

Anyone here interested in doing this little project?
I can prepare the mold layout, I can generate the tool paths too.

I'm using the M5A78LM LX V2 model from ASUS with AMD processor and behaves
really great. Good latency results, although I'm using hardware for steps
generation.

I don't know if the same version is still on sale, may be there are newer
versions of the same mother called V3 or so.

It has been done, there is a Youtube video of someone running Fanuc
Red-cap motors from the parport.

The only reason not to are the usual problems with encoder counting
speed. The component only ever runs in the servo thread regardless of
interface hardware.

I already use a lot of mesa components, I just received an over 25 piece 
order from them, and Mesa is definitely cheaper than these are.

I just threw them out there, I was doing a little shopping, and saw

Out of curiosity though, Peter, could these be connected to the 7I44?

The bldc component can handle that. There an indifferently-effective
magnetic homing mode that can get an accurate position the first time
it sees an index, and the component takes parameters for motor pole
count and index offset.

The problem is as our resolver converter is, NOW, it only 
produces quadrature
plus index.  So, until the motor is moved to the index 
position, there would be
no absolute angle indication for commutation.  The AD chip 
gives absolute
angle output which we bring out to a header, so an 
additional board could
be put in to generate the commutation signals from that.  
But, it would need
to know the number of motor poles and the angular offset.  
So, such a board
hasn't been designed.  If enough people needed such a 
feature, we could come
up with it.

That forum discussion pretty much solves all my doubts. It seems the driver
uses tacho generation to close the speed loop within itself, and the only
signals I need to replace are the analog voltage for the velocity command
and some of the ready and fault signals to make it work. Also the pin
information is a great help to start testing.

I'm not sure about one thing in the pictures of my drivers and it's the
fact that there's a connection between the two of them, I'm going to see if
I can find out something on my PDFs but I'm not sure about what that might
be for.

I'm planning on use the resolvers as you suggested since they work really
great and also everything is already mounted so practically I don't have to
touch anything of the mechanical units.

I hope I can do some testing soon because replacing the original control
will give me a lot of new functionalities.

Thanks Jeff for info!

Thanks as always Andy!. There's an interesting section there about how to
tune the parameters using the presets on the driver. I think I saw
something like that in one of the PDFs that I have, I don't know if it's
the same. I hope I don't have to touch any of that, since the mayority of
those parameters are factory set up.

2014-11-19 Thread Dave Cole
Most of my LinuxCNC installations include a PLC and I usually 
communicate to them via Modbus RTU (serial) or Modbus TCP.

So far I've used Siemens, AB, and Automation Direct PLCs with LinuxCNC.

I have always used CL to do the Modbus interface.   It works!

CL can do Modbus registers, inputs, outputs, and internal coils.

Since its modbus/tcp it should be possible to make it work maybe with 
mb2hal or classic ladder. One first thing to ask is whether there is register

I've used a fair amount of Automation Direct hardware, and have always 
found their quality to be good, their pricing to be good, and their 
customer service (including tech support) to be excellent.

Mesa Electronics sells an excellent remote I/O solutions that work 
almost exactly the same way.  They're not as modular, but the price is 
less, it needs only power and a Cat5 cable to communicate to the Mesa 
Electronics board in the main panel (even though it's not Ethernet 
protocol).  The Mesa Electronics solution is well supported in LinuxCNC.

Hi Rick.
It looks good as field I/O using the Modbus Protcol (with Classic Ladder
I/O scanning or mb2hal component as well) .
The price is pretty good for the US market and it is industrial grade
hardware fully certified.

Usually you slide the block with the diamond dresser across the table against a 
guide, or some reference plane that matches what you expect your table to be. 
On a surface grinder you would hold the dresser on your mag chuck and move the 
cross feed axis, but there are other setups and some dresser holders that have 
built in cross slides.

The spindles do swivel, but how would I ensure that the grinding wheel's
grinding surface would be parallel with the what the table should be?

Dressing in-place is likely to be non-trivial with no Y axis. He would
need to add a manual axis to move the dressing point (and fill his
machine with corundum in the process).

However, I think that the motors swivel? So dressing might not be required.

Perhaps a reducer bushing would be needed to adapt the center hole size. 
Precise centering wouldn't be a big deal since you'd be dressing the wheel to 
profile in-place inherently centering it. I suspect it would be cheap enough to 
be worthwhile even if you still used a correction table to get things exactly 
perfect. Mechanical precision is generally better than electronic compansation 
since issues such as axis acceleration can come into play when trying to 
correct for mechanical issues.

Saw blades are 4" in diameter.  Hard part would be holding the grinding
wheel in the spindle.  The spindle is a built-in saw mandrel, and the saw
blade fits just snugly over the male insert portion of the mandrel.

Smaller dia grinding wheels have higher max RPMs, and it looks from the machine 
pics like the saw blades are pretty small diameter so a grinding wheel in their

also think the offset correction table is probably workable, but it's nice to

I'm not a grinding expert, but I believe it would work fine with the correct 
selection of grinding wheel type. A quick look on www.nortonindustrial.com 
shows many wheel compositions recommended for grinding aluminum. I bet a call 
to one of their application engineer folks would get you a good recommendation 
for a wheel in the size and material you need. Grinding doesn't have to be 
terribly high RPM, your 4,000 should be fine, it's more a function of taking 
very light cuts and not letting heat build up.

How about temporarily replacing one of your saw blades with a grinding wheel, 
dressing it to the correct angle to be flat across the width of the vacuum 
table and then light grinding passes down the table? Your saw spindles should 
be plenty rigid and high enough RPM, and dressing an angle on the grinding 
wheel is easy with a diamond dresser.

Tried that too.  The way the cutting head is designed there's no real

Tried that too.  The way the cutting head is designed there's no real
practical way to attach a sander and hold it firmly enough in place to do
anything precise with it.

Is there a way to clamp a sander or similar to the head for use in flattening? 
A solid clamping and a series of light cuts ought to flatten to match the axis.

Dave,

If the bed were perfect, I wouldn't need a correction factor for the Z
axis.  ;-)  I need to keep the finished cross-section to + or - .001" at
each 1" X station.

I'd have to rebuild the machine to use some kind of tooling plate.  The
"table" is actually my vacuum hold-down.  I have no way to "cut" the table
flat using the machine itself, unlike a router.  The cutting head is made
up of two saw blades held at an included angle of 60 degrees, with the
"point" of the "V" at the bottom.

I've tried to flatten the bed by filing, sanding, etc, but the problem is,
I really have no reference to the cutting head.  That's how I end up with
being 2 or 3 thou low in one area, 3 or 4 thou high in other areas and so
on.  I've shimmed out the table as best as I can, and this is what I'm left
with, so I'd like to correct for the Z using some kind of compensation read
into the machine.  Be a lot easier to do it once, rather than having to do
it each time I create a different G Code file for each different rod and
each different section.

I like Andy's lincurve idea.  I just have to go through all the reading of
the suggestions given this morning, and work out how I can apply it to my
machine.  I think lincurve will probably be the simplest approach.

I would rather use the din rail mounts, but they are orientated 90 
degrees off of how I mount the boards, or so it looks like on the mesa 
web page.


Thanks

There is a manual of sorts here:

It should also be possible to use this with the "bldc" HAL component
to synthesize Hall sensor signals for a drive that requires them (or
direct phase amplitudes)
