Re: Spindle stalling after running

What DC voltage are you sending to the spindle motor.

The motor will run overspeed if it has become demagnetised but if you spply too high a voltage to it you will get arking on the armature and may cause permenant damage to the motor.

Re: driver software

You need VR Turning provided you have an EPROM capable of running VR Turning.
View the post on the forum about EPROM versions.

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Hi, Glad it seems to be working. You may have been better running the fans off the 24V supply as if you are using the 12V or 5V supply this will increase the heating effect on the voltage regulator on the control card.
Hopefully the cooling fixes this.

Re: Triac PC spindle motor speed varies by its self

Can you make the voltage measurements on the spindle drive and report?

Re: Triac PC spindle motor speed varies by its self

Measure the 0-10V DC analog input to the spindle drive.

It should be 10V at max speed. 5V at half speed. Is this voltage going up and down or stable?

Next measure the DC motor voltage going to the motor is this going up and down?

It could be motor brushes or the motor tachometer

Re: help please

You have a DOS EPROM fitted so cannot Run VR Turning.

Eprom is V1.6h/s

The Z home switch is wired to Terminals TB1 and TB7 with Violet wires. We discussed how to view the Debug I/O in the software. If you remove the violet wire from the Z Datum input in TB 1 then try and home the machine If the Z home input is working the Z axis will think it is on the limit switch and...

Re: Cutting Accuracy

What material are you cutting?
Have you measured the width of a slot made with your cutter? Is the cutter running true?

Re: Feed speeds displayed incorrectly.

Try turning turbo mode off as the program reads ahead as far as the next modal change. The feed displayed will be the feed where's the program has read ahead to.

If you turn turbo off the machine will display the feed of the actual currently exicuted line.
