That, I'm not sure about. If it's six wires, that's likely differential A/B plus power. If it's 5 or 7, there may be an index signal that the...
Assuming the steppers have an index pulse- ABZ, not just AB- on the encoder (which isn't necessarily a safe bet!), once per motor revolution that...
Ohhh, those are nice. I think I mostly use 5.08mm terminal plugs, maybe a few ~2.8mm-ish, but I'll have to keep an eye out for panel-mount...
I think you could get that with appropriate strategies and feeds and speeds, no worries.
I've seen great results with acrylic and other plastics from extrusion machines- depth is usually just a case of using enough passes to keep a...
The channels are in the nuts.
Sounds like a screaming deal to me. If you don't want more than basic 3-axis operation, no toolchanging, fairly low speeds, no backlash comp, wear...
I would hope, in theory, that there's nothing inherent to the frame or drive system that should be causing deflection or imprecision for homing...
Yep. Screw channels /= nut channels. You can put as many ball channels as you like around a single thread screw, it's just gonna change the length...
It'll probably have old brushed servos. You can still buy them if the X axis needs replacing, but I don't know if it's worth trying to get them...
Yep, what David said. I'd just enter 400 (1600 step/rev, 4mm pitch) in the grbl settings and then tweak from there. It'll get you close enough to...
If the machine is accurate to 0.01mm, and you need the magnet to repeat to 0.001mm to accomplish that, how can you use the machine to position it?...
Looks like the performance curve graph is the best you're gonna get there. It is just a sensor, not a switch, so I guess that makes sense. From...
Your guess is as good as mine on that one, to be honest. I suppose it's probably technically possible to use a non-contact sensor in a precision...
You (and I, because I have the same issue at the minute) need precision microswitches. Metrol is one of the the main brands (spun out of......
Well... Felicitaciones! :P Yeah some drivers allow tuning, some don't for some reason, so it's definitely a possibility depending on what you...
I killed a card once by touching it (took a couple days to actually diagnose it too, I had no idea it happened), and another one once by moving...
Oh, gotcha, yeah, a 6i25 would struggle to get in there, even as a low-profile card. But yeah, there's a 7i76E that's Ethernet. Not quite as easy...
Do micro PCs not have PCIe slots? I've never had one.
The Buildbotics controller looks nice, but has its own support lines on their site, no one here's gonna be able to provide meaningful support. I...
