Feature Requests / Re: loosing steps - captive encoder
« on: May 19, 2012, 02:59:43 PM »
my system works perfect......... no stalling - no shaking - no nothing
just keeps running and running

I have been playing a lot with motortuning - to get best performance - with full load on the spindle
I think that's why my system is running without any issues at all

Hi Hood

OK - that sounds reasonable - thanx for the enlightenment

but............. ain't it possible to "trick" mach3 to do what the servoes are doing? by using the encoders and a plugin or something like that?

Hi Hood

yes - its for nema23/34 steppermotors............ I think it would be nice to mount it on my steppers to make sure they ALWAYS go where they are supposed to go :O)

Hi Hood

check out this link here:

http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?products_id=363

it does the same as servoes but with steppermotors

Hi
I'm new here
I'm having a Rotwerk mill (sieg x2) - I'm not having any problems but i found this item at CNC4PC : captive encoder for nema23/34 steppermotors
how do I implement the encoder to read the steps - give feedback to mach3 - and make mach3 to do the "adjustment" of the stepper movement?

example: mach3 moves the steppermotor 10mm => 2000 steps, the stepper "looses" 3 steps so fact is the spindle only moves 9,985mm

IDEA: the captive encoder give feedback to mach3 and moves the spindle additional 3 steps (also have to work if the stepper moves too many steps!!!)

How do I do that?
