dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: kitako/fanuc om resurection

« on: November 29, 2009, 06:28:03 PM »

would the dspmc hook up to the velocity control, and act as a signal converter from the mach3 pc control.
or do i have to junk the velocity contol and hook direct to the drives/encoders?

not knowing much about the dspmc i not sure where it fits in or what it replaces in the current configuration

thanks

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / kitako/fanuc om resurection

« on: November 29, 2009, 12:25:38 AM »

i am attempting to resurrect a kitako v-0920s-u  router circa 1986

i am in the process of freeing up the ways, tracing and splicing the cut control wires. (the electronic cabinet and servos are clean and move freely).
the head unit is in pretty bad shape and i have been doing some research on whether i can use a pc /mach3 with a step to analog converter.
from the reading i have found there doesn't seem to be anything definitive as to whether this is even possible with the current drives and servo system.any help or advice as to what setup may work would be appreciated

current setup is a fanuc 0m control

servo's x/y A06-0501-B001 .. TQ 12nm ,11A, 144V AC 3ph 8 poles 2000rpm encoder
servo z      A06-0501-B202 .. TQ 12nm ,11A, 144v, AC 3ph 8 poles 2000rpm encoder ,brake

velocity control A06B-6050-8404

system has 2 frequency drives and is a big heavy machine( 14,000 lbs) i would prefer to use the fanuc drives if nothing else because of the extra cost.

i have built 2 heavy duty systems using(1,200oz motors, pc/mach3 and stepper drives but the fanuc servo system is new to me


thanks in advance for any help.


stage 1 is to get the machine running and carving
stage 2 is to fit and configure a 400watt yag lazer where the drilling head was located...(should be fun! )

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / z axis calibration mid program

« on: September 15, 2008, 06:53:40 PM »

i am machining letters onto aluminum checker plate, and finding that my z axis is backing off slowly ( ie machining shallower ). can i include a z home/ calibration command mid program ?

g28 z0 ?

this does not seem to work, any ideas

thanks
