It's good to know what you do and don't know. SSR = Solid State Relay. Essentially a purely electronic relay with no mechanical parts, however the...

This was definitely an older pancake motor, and not a modern hybrid stepper like your link. I can't remember the exact drive I ended up using, but...

Does it look like this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1jgAAOSwzaJX3E6j/s-l1600.webp ? That looks like a standard hybrid stepper to me with...

Ray, I wasn't trying to patronise you, until you know how it really isn't obvious! As Muzzer said, you need to be in "full fat" advanced mode rather...

Select "reply", then "go advanced", then "manage attachments". Then "add files" to upload files. Then drag the ones you want into the box and you are...

Hi. I use a laptop, it may be obvious to you but not to everybody, or I would not have made this request for help and guidance. Regards. Ray

Are you viewing it on a phone or tablet? If you use a PC I think the options are obvious.

I can help you with this. I don't specifically machine sprockets, but motorcycle engineering was a big part of my business in the 90s and early 2000s...

Many Thanks m_c, . Please slow down a bit, I really appreciate all your help, but you are forgetting I said I was above a beginner in electrics,...

Hi EddyCurrent, I would like to upload some drawings probably in PDF format, but i have learnt how to do that yet on this forum. Cannot seem to...

I generally use RS part 488-2610 (24VDC coil, but other coil voltages are available), along with the holder 803-376 You'll likely get equivalents...

Ray, Forget the electrics for now, I would like to see some mechanical drawings of your proposed build.

Thanks m-c. I get it a bit better now, can i be a pain and ask what type of relay you would recommend, i have only used the small type powered and...

I've not got time to draw a diagram, but break it down into key sections. Start with the mains. Mains power in -> isolator switch. Then it...

I've not got any wiring diagrams to hand, but here's a quick one I've thrown together. I generally use DIN rail mounted 'ice cube' relays...

Thanks m_c, I am in unfamiliar territory here, can I be cheeky enough, do you have a schematic I could look over involving the 2 relays you...

According to the 'last activity' date Seabass has not posted here for a few years. If you haven't done so add a comment on one of the above YouTube...

This has been debated a few times on here, but there's not really a 'correct' way to do it. Key thing is you want everything to stop in a...

My preference is for dedicated machines, but whatever works for you.

hi, somebody know how can get the cad for this build thanks

Personally I would go with a dedicated pc

Hi, can you send me a link to the item? Ray

There's a couple on eBay for around £20 also there are others such as Telemecanique Preventa. My background is electrical by the way, I think you...
