PoKeys / Re: Lathe Spindle AC servo Mach3 pokeys
« on: June 07, 2022, 02:42:59 PM »
My control board (M16 with Pokeys57E) doesn't support -/+10v. Only 0-10v. So to convert it to -/+10v I used a DPDT relay, like the one below.

I really hate relays (I have my own reasons) but I guess a relay is the only way to go.

Yes, I got the same response from Polabs:

Hi, Suat

Unfortunately, step/dir driven spindles are not supported by the PoKeys device during threading cycle. During normal operation, all axes are fed by a constant flow of position references and at the moment of waiting for the threading trigger, the flow is stopped, which stops the spindle as well. Alternatively, threading can be executed as a CAM operation instead of G-code operation.

I already switched the servo to analog mode.

Yes, yesterday I got the same response from Polabs as well. However, they also told me that they are planning on this matter.

Pokeys will not do a servo spindle with step and direction you need to set up as plus minus 10 volts

Hi,


Are you sure about this?

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Lathe + servo spindle threading problem
« on: May 29, 2022, 01:37:49 PM »
Hi,

I recently Installed an AC servo as spindle motor. This servo runs with step-dir signals. Got some help from @joeaverage and @dazp1976 and some our friends (thanks).

It took me a while to get the servo to run smooth and steady. All turn cycles works except threading. As you see in the video when I start a threading cycle spindle starts running, X and Z axes moves to their initial position then spindle suddenly stops. Then nothing happens.

Mach4 version: 4.2.0.3804
Latest PoKeys plugin and config app installed.

Is this a software bug or something I did wrong?

Hi,

I have purchased 4 years ago an AASD-30A servo drive with its 1.8kw servo motor. Now I decided to use it as spindle motor on my CNC converted lathe. It is a simple 2 axis lathe.

I have the manual but I don't know which parameters I should change to use it in step-dir mode. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Suat

Another problem is when the Incremental Jog Step is set at 0.0010 and 0.0001 the inner wheel doesn't work.
