Linuxcnc has performed flawlessly. It's awesome software. :-) Dave On 2/28/2012 11:25 AM, sam sokolik wrote: I still have to finalize my control panel. It is still just a piece of plexi-glass with knobs and dials stuck through it. :) I would like to make up a pendant (maybe using a arduino uno and usb) because it would be nice to be able to jog the machine from the other side. I had tweeked the ladder logic for the tool arm a bit but the problem was mainly a incorrectly adjusted flow valve. Other than that - the machine is been rock solid. I have only had 2 tool changes out of hundreds and hundreds that have stuck and that was before the valve adjustment and it hasn't failed since. (It was supposed to slow the arm down before it hit the line up pin - but it was turned down so far that the only think making the arm hit the line up pin was the momentum. So sometimes tools of radically different weights would cause it not to line up perfectly. Hydraulics - got to love them ;) After running it for quite a few months I would say that I am very very happy with it.

Looks very nicely done. Looking forward to you rigid tapping, it is very nice as a feature, having done so myself. I put a like on your video. Personally, I am working on 4th axis right now, I would say I am 80% done. That said, it is 80% only if no unexpected snags occur. If the resolver converter does not get along with the resolver, for example, I am only perhaps 10% done. i On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 6:40 PM, sa...@empirescreen.com wrote: Ok - have the spindle encoder mounted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vvP4L_hr90 rigid tapping works - I will make a video soon.

Thanks! the drives are what is limiting.. They are 20a continuous and 40a peak. The servos are pretty close to an amp per ft-lb. with a 2:1 belt drive - that gives us 80ft-lb peak at the screws. That is pretty close to what the old hydraulic servos. sam On 12/11/2010 08:38 PM, Jon Elson wrote: sam sokolik wrote: had some time to do some tuning.

I wouldn't call 16000 Lbs linear force limiting. It sounds QUITE sufficient for such a machine. You don't expect a machine like that to be doing high speed contouring, but I suspect it can probably do anything that the available spindle speed makes practical.

Re: [Emc-users] Kearney and Trecker Milwaukeematic IIIb progress
Have the B axis hacked together. This is more of an indexer as it has a 72 tooth curvic coupling that the table sit on which gives us 5 degree indexes. http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/curvicfoot.jpg http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/curvictogether.jpg (taken out of our parts machine) So far so good. The locking rotaries that Chris added works very well. I think I need to add a little delay after the unlock switch is tripped before the motion starts. The first movement in both videos are the home to index only. The table lifts off of its curvic coupling rotates until it finds the index - rotates back to a point that will place it so the coupling will line up - then re-clamps the table. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLE4lzPcEo8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpz1tgTRyGc Getting there!! sam On 10/28/2010 9:23 AM, sam sokolik wrote: Yes - that would be me.

(P=20 D=1 FF1 =1) If you haven't done serious tuning with Halscope, then almost certainly, you can do a LOT better with 15-30 minutes on the first axis. After that, the next axes will come in 5 minutes or so, just starting with the settings from the first one. You want to raise P and maybe add a little more D, then tweak FF1 and FF2 to pull the errors down close to zero. More P will reduce error while in the cruise phase. When you can't go any higher, then add some FF1 until the cruise error is practically zero. Then, very small amounts of FF2 can be used to reduce the error during the accel/decel ramps.

now we are trying to figure out why the Y axis ways are not oiling. Looks
like some of the channels are plugged - plus some of the pressures/flow
regulators are not set right (and oiler fitting being loose in the
transmission). (Y ways are oiled by hydraulic fluid)
We figured out that the x/z lubing is done with the z clutch. (which isn't
there any more) but the solenoid is still. It activates a bijor(sp) type pump
that oils the ways and ball screws. We found the solenoid (wasn't hooked up
because we didn't need it) and cycled it a bunch. oil started apearing on
the ways - yay!. So I need to setup a timer in ladder that will cycle that
solenoid every so often.

Re: [Emc-users] Kearney and Trecker Milwaukeematic IIIb progress
these servos used to be driven by a large scr drive. They reach their maximum rpm at 150v and will handle much more current than we are throwing at it (they work out to about 1A per ft-lb http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/servotag.JPG http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/DSC_0242.JPG Other than a little rough around the edges and lots of dirt - they seem to work great. (we did have one bad tach though) sam On Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:38:50 -0700 dave dengv...@charter.net wrote: On Thu, 2010-08-26 at 16:38 -0500, sa...@empirescreen.com wrote: Well - I fail at copy and paste... Details ... details. Kool project. That should be a fun machine with all of it functioning. EMC2 with servos should nicely outperform the original. Thanks for sharing. I've got a couple of Inland servo motors around here that I picked up at Boeing Surplus. probably 90 V and umpteen amps. Dave this should work better.
