SmoothStepper USB / Stepper glitches fwd and rev

« on: October 18, 2016, 12:08:20 PM »

I'm having a little problem, 570oz nema 23 motors with digital drives and a ess board..

If I send increments of .0005 moving toward one direction I get exactly that but when I try sending it back in the same .0005 increments the stepper goes fwd still one or two steps and then goes the correct direction..

Tell it to go fwd goes fwd tell it to go rev and goes fwd then goes reverse ?

Any idea why this could be happening possibly tuning the motors some ?

I'm going to try another drive today and check the pulse from the ess to see if it is sending mixed pulses maybe ? 



Thanks, Horasio

CS-Lab / Brother TC-S2A Retrofit

« on: May 25, 2016, 02:58:18 PM »

Hi, my name is Horacio

I'm going to attemp to retrofit Mach 3 on a Brother TC-S2A that was missing all drives minus the spindle drive and motor which are still there..

I'm trying to figure out if I can use the spindle motor and drive ?

I have bought CSMIO-IP/S that I will be using along with the mpg module, x-y-z axis will have 750w Mitsubishi MR-JS2 motors and drives and all original limit switches will be re-used..

How can I use the gear motor that is on the toolchanger ? It has a proximity sensor and a encoder disc which I'm very lost on how to make it work with Mach 3 or should I get a Plc to control the tool changer ? AD06 PLC ?
Also how would I write a vb m6 tool change macro that would let it change tool using the shortest path ?

I will post pictures when I'm home on the spindle motor and drive hopefully it can be used ..
