General Mach Discussion / Re: Gecko 201 Dir pulse and step pluse?

« on: June 09, 2009, 02:18:25 PM »

Hi Jimpinder,

I have the same motors as yours if you remember, it is you who told how to wire them.

am talking about the following:-
when the window of tuning motor is open, we have five places that we can modify.

1) step per 400
2)velocity
3) acceleration
4) step pulse
5) Dir pulse

am asking about the forth and fifth, step pulse and Dir pulse.

i have put 0 in both of them, but am not sure whether it is right.

Thanks for replying

now, I use 24 volt only for making tests. if everything will be fine i will increase the voltage as well as buying the licence for Mach 3. I guess it will be OK.

General Mach Discussion / Gecko 201 Dir pulse and step pluse?

« on: June 08, 2009, 03:06:23 PM »

Hello,

 I have a G201. I would like to know which number must I put in both Dir pulse, and step pulse?

I have put 0 in both cases, motor turns but i think the motors do not turn fast.

I use 24 volt, motors are 200 step.

thanks in advance for your help

Hello,
Thank you Hood and all of you,

So all what I need (for the spindle) is  one stepper motor and one G201 for example? and of course a head for connecting all together....LOL That's all what i need? am I right? or Need I something else?

Thanks

Hello,

As I understood, when someone likes to build his own machine lathe, he need one stepper motor for  the X axis, another for
the Z axis. The other motor, or stepper motor (the rotary one) is called Spindle to rotate the work. could I use a stepper motor for this (Spindle) or could I use a 3 phased motor with a converter? I have already one that I control its speed. in the mean time, I would like that Mach3 control its speed, specially its step and direction..is it possible or am writing, thinking nonsense..
thanks a lot

Hi, thanks BClemens  ,

I will take all what you and Hood said in consideration. I will try to do so and of course let you know.
Thanks a lot

Hello every body
Thanks Hood and of you,
Exactly as you mentioned, it is a mill, but I would like to rotate the work .
But this kind of machine will do the same work as a machine for turning (lathe)?
In other words, could I use the same G code in both mach3Mill and Mach3turn?

Hoping am a little bit more clear than before..

General Mach Discussion / Spindle?

« on: February 25, 2009, 04:07:45 PM »

Hi ,
I am building my machine CNC, for milling, specially for wood. I would like to add another axes for turning the workpiece.

when I red the manual for configuring the Mach3 turn, I found that I need something called a Spindle that i ignore what it is.
This is spindle must be controlled by mach3 , etc..
question is, Should I have to buy a spindle? or a simple motor can do what spindle does? or could I use a stepper motor to replace the spindle which would be controlled by mach3? its speed, step an direction etc..?

thanks in advance, hoping that I am clear.. hope so.

Hi everybody , hi Chip

Promlem is solved..

thanks for your replay, I try to turn a vaccum on and off. I did use the appropriate M.code.
Problem is solved.. the problem was that I reversed the wires of in the input I just reversed them and everything is OK.

thanks Chip and for all you.
