Hi, I'm new here. Was hoping to find out if a set of Superior Electric steppers (p/n M062-FD-328U) would be suitable to convert a Taig 2019CR mill using the...
Jeff Im having problems with the controller. I emailed you (xylotex @ hotmail . com) about it almost a week ago (5/26/04) but havent heard anything back yet....
I'm about to connect my sheilding wire on my three motor leads. I plan on connecting them to the metal enclosure that my board is mounted in and then...
Thanks, Cletus. If I can find a suitable 12V supply I may be able to start tests while I collect parts for a proper 24V-28V unit. Still trawling through the...
If I read the archives correctly, the motors I found are unsuitable. They are 65 oz/in, but at 1.7V and 4.7A/phase. Looks like I'll have to purchase some...
Chris, If you're interested, check out ebay - there's a seller there who goes by the name deepgroove1 - he sells alot of steppers and they generally seem to go...
... Contact Dan Mauch at dmauch@... He will be getting some motors that would give you about that torque range with the xylotex. I don't know how many...
Hi, The GND of VBB is NOT the same as the earth ground that you want to connect you sheild cables to. The earth ground is the round prong in the power outlet...
Hi, 12V will work, but at higher currents, you will want to make sure you have a fan blowing on the heatsinks. Hihger voltages (like 24VDC) allow the motor...
Hi, A quick, temporary solution that works for some people is to power the Sherline from another circuit. Make sure that the spindle motor is properly...
Thanks Jim, I've seen that seller before. But I just got word I could have some Japan Servo motors for next to nothing. I was also told that a suitable power...
... Thanks Jeff. I'm looking forward to my first CNC cuts before the height of summer. Just a question now of gathering up the outstanding items and finding...
I have been unsucessful at finding a parallel extension cable any shorter than 6'. I could probably get away with a foot or two, I need just a bit more than...
Hi zouxil, I'm new to cnc to. But for your question you can go in the "file" section http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Xylotex/files/ or in the "cnczone" forum...
I'm wondering what winding i should get on powermax II motors model: P22-NRX(a)-LDN-NS-00 the (a) signifies the winding type and is whats variable here. I'm ...
For something to "motivate you" and 'practice" the conversion... you could always gear those motors down 3 or 4 to 1. They'd be SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW but...
The current is too high with the A windings. Here are the specs for the different windings: A - 6.5a parallel, 3.25a series B - 4.6a parallel, 2.3a series C -...
Hi, Except for "practice", gearing down to use a lower/weak torque stepper is really not a very advantageous method to go about setting up the CNC. There are...
Hi, One thing that really needs to be specified is the kind of speeds/power you want. The "D" motor run bipolar parallel will allow you to get all of the...
Thank you Jeff, and notoneleft for the information. I think I will be getting the C winding as higher speed is more important than low end torque in this...
How does the capacitor get attached to Vbb and Gnd? Does it go inline with the positive connection from my power supply or does the + from the capacitor go to...
+ of the capacitor goes to Vbb and the - to grnd Don't make no blue smoke now! Hope this helps. Cheers, Cletus ... ===== From the desk of: Cletus L. Berkeley,...
Hi, The cap should have a stripe with a "-" in it. Thlead on this side will be attached to the GND screw terminal. The other lead from the cap will be...
