Re: Shizouka ST-N Matchmaker retrofit
Yeah, one would rather not chance, 'riding the lightning,' just trying to troubleshoot a bit or relay!

Re: Shizouka ST-N Matchmaker retrofit
Looks like the cabinet is off to a clean start!
Not to state the obvious but it's easier to add the din rail now rather than later. Even if you don't end up filling them completely it will still make install and future service easier.
Keep up the good work.

Re: Denford Cyclone Lathe
Thanks Moray! Just acquired a Mazak Quick Turn 8N. About to start on a few simple parts with Mazatrol programming but I would much rather just run gcode like my other machines. Due to the daisy chain wiring of the servo and spindle drives I may be gutting a lot! I will go the Konnect route. Just wan...

Re: Denford Cyclone Lathe
Hi Morary,
Nice retrofit! Would you be willing to share your code for the turret and that nice custom screen you made?
Thanks!

Re: Fawne Fadal, Unchained. (4020 Fadal Retrofit)
Went to start the spindle up. Dead. Fatal error on the Sweodrive...I had a feeling this day was coming. Sourced a Durapulse GS20 drive from Automation Direct, $511. Resized952024092695173652951728823343125.jpg Wired up. Tuned in via the "mx+b" line of code in the spindle.c. Accurate +/-4 RPM from 50...

Bump on this. Looking at this for a Hitach Seiki VM40.

Re: Fawne Fadal, Unchained. (4020 Fadal Retrofit)
Been using the machine pretty regularly. Still only 2/3 way through the retrofit. I am really enjoying it. Two big additions coming up: 4th axis and automatic tool touch-off. Purchased a pair of Tsudakoma rotaries off of eBay. One has a busted input shaft, the other is in good condition, has an encl...

To add to my list..dual monitor setup. The single monitor looks so lonely.

Re: Fawne Fadal, Unchained. (4020 Fadal Retrofit)
We are up and machining! I thought I had the orientate working but when we did our first tool change the tool changer tried to 'orientate' the spindle when it was still coming down from 5,000 RPM! Luckily just a smoked bearing and were back in business. This led me to finding out the persist variabl...
