Re: [Emc-users] Very low PRM system.

Hi I want to describe my understanding for low feed system. I will use direct drive mounting and that mean 5 revolutions for 1 inch of travel per minute. 5 revolution times 360 degree is 1800 degree per 1 inch per minute. 0.0001 travel per minute means system will have 1.8 degree per minute. My sys

Re: [Emc-users] Very low PRM system.

Hi I have 3 questions. First if to make motor work on very low feed – 0.001 per minute need only high resolution encoder than may be needed belt reduction to the encoder shaft only, to get more pulses and not to whole motor shaft. Is this correct? Second, what is reasonable low feed with direct dri

Re: [Emc-users] X11 file problem/HELP

Hi Thanks Ray, I want to say that when I install new UBUNTU on other hard drive on the new box, computer start and UBUNTY was working perfect. So I think I will move HD back to old box, copy EMC2 PID and tune up parameters from old HD and put it on other HD with other seting UBUNTU on new box. It i

[Emc-users] X11 file problem/HELP

Hi Let me describe my problem. I have old computer COMPACT that I took to two last EMC2 show and at the first time Ray Henry change /etc/X11/Xorg.conf to UBUNTU work. I remember it was video driver, and need to change to generic driver VESSA or something like that. Now I build new computer, and mo

Re: [Emc-users] PID-tuning

hi you said that "Clearly higher feed-rates are more difficult for the PID loop. " what about tunup problem with very slow motion? i mean feed with 0.0001 per minute. i use ball screw 5 mm per revolution thanks aram > Hi all, > > I got my x-axis servo motor mounted today and ran some tests. > Th

[Emc-users] Very low PRM system.

Hi I want to build system to tool grinder and that means that my system should behave stable on very low RPM. Minimum PRM 0.0001 per minute. I want to use direct drive with ball screw 5 rev per inch or 1 rev for 5 mm in case of metric system. My motors have 8192 pulse per ….. it takes 4x8192 per re

[Emc-users] 5I20 connection to 7i33/7i37

Hi I want to ask question about 5i20 and connection to 7i33 and 7i37 boards. Are there limits on length of cable that connect 5i20 to other boards? Can I use cable that 2 or 3 feet long, and will it effect over all performance of system? Thanks Aram -

Hi Peter. Today i plased order with MESA ELECTRONICS for 1 5i20, 1 7i33, 2 7i37, and those breaker board for Sevodynamis motors. I ask Noel to see what he used in his case. i want to use standard joger wheel with 6 wires, i am not strong to experiment with small motors. thanks Aram > On Mon, 24 M

Re: [Emc-users] 2 boades 5I20 on one computer problem

Hi I want to ask what kind of breaker board do you use between 7133 and your 4 motors? On your description you said that your JOG wheel works well up to increments up to 0.010. Close 0.100 jog wheel can not count or so. How much cost to you ball screw and mount blocks? Thanks Aram > Aram, > Check

[Emc-users] 2 boades 5I20 on one computer problem

Hi I ask before MESA Electronic about what type of connectors to 5I20 board I should use in order to use 2 boards on one computer. On mother board PSI connectors so close to each other that it is physically impossible to put two boards 5I20 together. So Peter said about special type of connectors a

[Emc-users] Jogger wheel + switches

Hi I think in order to EMC2 becomes more friendly to use on the shop floor need implement Jogger wheel. Many times list was back to talk about jogger wheel but problem still there. Jogger wheel is very important with switches that switch between axis XYZAB and changes increments from 0.0001, 0.001,

Hi Yes I am interesting to buy one similar machine. Simple build frame. Lead screw or ball screw optional. Slade can be optional also, same as on ebay or round bar with ball bearing slide. It is hard to describe machine in general, when machine ready and have real price than is easy to talk. I want

Hi Kirk I can’t say about retrofitting machine but I know whole very good – large mill sold for scrap metal because control got bad and minor mechanical problem. When ask how much for retrofit answer – better to buy new machine $50-250K Here is the money. Need open your own shop and retrofit machi
