General Mach Discussion / Re: New CNC Design Stage
« on: January 06, 2021, 12:40:33 PM »
Hello Everyone,

I stumbled upon this doing a search for proximity sensors since one of mine broke in my machine during a job. Went ahead and had to replace the entire control unit because I couldn't find the replacement proximity sensor by itself. I ended up doing a ton of research and found that there are tons of different types of proximity sensors https://www.derf.com/an-overview-on-proximity-sensors/ anyway , I was wondering if anyone knew some of the different applications of some of these different sensors for Mach applications etc.. super interesting type of component.

Any ideas / thoughts would be great !

Yup no problem, let me know if you have any other questions I am be happy to help.

Nope no kit, although in theory yes you could configure your own. Don't do that though. They come in pre-assembled modules. i found this it will help explain how they work so you have a better understanding https://www.derf.com/how-a-bridge-rectifier-works-step-by-step-tutorial/ goes into detail about the process of rectification. Which is the first thing you should learn. It is the most basic principle when it comes to any type of rectifier. Full wave, half wave, three etc.. Also it talk about the different applications.   Also you can google a lot of this. Tons of information out there.

Yea a bridge rectifier is essentially a configuration of 4 diodes. Its used to convert AC to DC . it allows current to flow in one direction and not backwards.

Hey Jacob,

I can certainly help with that. So yes bridge rectifiers sometimes do go bad and they can cause power supplies to malfunction or just not work in general. Best thing to do is just replace the power supply or get a new bridge rectifier.

Yea its super simple , just make sure you clear everything out on the screen. You can disconnect the power to the machine or just shut it down immediately. the computer needs to be able to save, which it is prompted to do when you X out.

Yup,

I agree with what @joeaverage said. This happened to me as well. Since I had 64bit OS I needed an external motion controller. I used a UC300.
