Hi Dave,
The motors are Minertia brand by Yaskawa Electric of Japan and are model
mos FA5S-CA11 and FA5X-CA31. I can't find any info about these on the
web. The encoders are 1000 line with no index pulse. I have put some
pictures up on my website - *http://tinyurl.com/6nf3sz

Heinz Reimer,
Thanks for the input. I will check into the information you provided.
Seems a shame thought to have to use a counter weight on Z axis as the
system should have been designed to move it own weight. If you have any
pictures on the counter weight you used please send them to me.

You are likely to see two kinds of encoders: TTL and differential
(rs422).
TTL means there's a single wire for the each signal (e.g. "A"), and it
roughly follows TTL voltage level for high and low signals.
differential means there are two wires for each signal (e.g., "A+" and
"A-"). The logic-le

A metal box only provides a Farday cage to prevent inducing noise into signals.
What is much more
important is to understand and design your ground current paths so they are not
going to induce any
common mode or differential mode currents where they will cause problems. You

Hi all
Just a quick thank you to all of you that have helped me over the last
couple of weeks.
I haven't connected my Sherline mill up yet, but I will in the next few
days. Going to play with EMC2, Gcodes, tool tables and tool changes first.
You have not got rid of me "I will be back".
Being new to LINUX I have only begun to understand my way around this
operating system. Most of what I know about LINUX was forced on me when I
bought a SHERLINE mill and installed Ubuntu for the first time. Anyway, The

By default, installing emc "takes away" all parallel-port devices from
regular linux programs. This reduces the kinds of problems where a

Hmmm,
Looks like an interesting concept but its development appears stagnant.
Last copyright appears to be 2002.
Still worth a browse at a minimum.

Gentle persons:
I quite understand the desire to find CAD software that (1) is free as
in beer and (2) runs directly in Linux. I yield to no one in my ardor
for open source in general and GNU/Linux in particular. As I grow older,
however, I find that pragmatism is overtaking idealism. With resp
