Thanks Mike

General Mach Discussion / Compumotor servo drives for conversion?

« on: May 11, 2011, 09:07:31 PM »

I have a small cnc mill that I built and I use the compumotor zeta4 stepper drives and bipolar stepper motors.
They are great drives and I was wondering if anyone has used there servo drives with Mach3 and how they worked out because I would like to try them in my
cnc Mill conversion if they are compatible.

Thanks Mike

It doesn't look like they sell the Teco Drive by itself they are all priced with servo motors,unless there is somewhere else to purchess them?

General Mach Discussion / Opinions on drives for cnc control conversion?

« on: May 09, 2011, 09:25:25 PM »

I have a 1981 Excello 604 cnc mill with an old dynapath m5 control that I am going to convert to Mach3.
The mill has 85volt 28amp 1700 rpm servo motors and westamp drives as of now.
I am thinking of going with either Granite drives or the Dugong drives for my conversion and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on these or
other drives I would really appreciate it.I am trying to keep this conversion at a reasonable cost so anyone with a different drive that will work and save me some cash would also be a consideration.


Thanks Mike

General Mach Discussion / X axis moving in only one direction?

« on: June 06, 2010, 11:18:50 PM »

I am hoping someone can help me out.
What happened was I was running my cnc router with mach3 using zeta4 drives and slo sym motors 300 oz/in and the x motor overheated and the axis would not move anymore. So I let the motor cool down and tried to move the X axis but it would only move in one direction using both the + and - jog keys,I checked the settings and the hotkeys are still set properly can anyone give me any ideas on what might of happened here?

Thanks Mike
