Hi Robin, I follow since a long time for efforts and appreciate really the change you made to your machine (ER16.... ). I got the same machine...

The reason why I dumped the Bosch PBD 40 is shown in this video: Basically, I was very happy with that machine for a many years, but there...

Cool, but I'd isolate the shed otherwise, at least here, it would be useless most of the time. Too hot during summer and too cold during the winter...

Cheers m_c, I will try it without the brake 1st as suggested, and if not I'll get another Drive and Motor but with Brake, then I could utilise this...

No, they're EtherCAT only, and the other two non-EtherCAT sets I've got lying around are destined for machines.

Thanks. The kit you have, does it do step / direction too? If so, would you consider selling it for me to try and use (not in Ethercat mode)? ...

Nice work

When you run out of inputs/outputs. I never went the Mesa route, as I was playing with some EtherCAT drives, but discovered a major show stopping...

Thanks. When do we need additional cards? Will the one I referred to do basic 3 axis step dir, 0 to 10v for spindle and encoder spindle input?

I dabbled in LCNC last year. 7i96 will give enough basic functionality for most machines, the S version adds the expansion port required for...

The brake is quite an integral part of the motor, so not really something that can be added. I'd suggest trying the axis without the brake, as you...

I'd go with 12mm just work out what the various permutations will cost and go with the least expensive.

New Z axis, more machining, and some movement!

It's for a Mazak then, and a fairly big one, as BT50 is a relatively big spindle. ...

It has been a while and curious.. Ever get that machine to run? I believe you are near Temecula, I am in Upland..

This is the packaging it came in. It was sealed but I opened it to see what it was. It hasn't got a mark on it so I'd hazard a guess and say it's...

First is a PLC. Probably worth money to somebody who needs that exact model, however it's the kind of thing that can sit for years unsold on various...

Googling told me that they're CNC bits but apart from that I'm clueless to this sort of thing.

We need photos

Hi Scabby You will need to supply more information and photos of the available items. Not sure if you have to have a certain number of posts before...

I still have my Boxford TCL 160 for sale, Advert in the 'for sale section" open to offers.
