General Mach Discussion / Change speed and zero fifth axis

« on: December 13, 2006, 05:29:21 PM »

Friends:

I can not change the move speed by the F code and do not know how to zero the fifth axis.

A 5-axis CNC router is driven by Yaskawa servo motors and all axes are worked fine except the speed are too slow.

Thank you for any advice.

General Mach Discussion / Servo motor configuration

« on: August 23, 2006, 07:32:09 PM »

Is anybody knows how to hookup the servo motors with Mach3? How many pins are needed to control one amplifier of the servo motor?

I have five servo motors and two parallel ports in my computer. Is the Mach3 is powerful enough to handle all the five servo motors?

Thanks a lot!

General Mach Discussion / Interface bwteen the parallel ports and Servo motors

« on: August 17, 2006, 03:43:34 PM »

Friends:
I need a breakout board to interface the parallel port and Yaskawa servo motors (Amplifiers).

I am working on a project of 5 axis CNC router.
Is any commercial breakout board available?

Thanks
