Hi i2i, sorry ive not been around for some time ive been moving into a larger workshop and doing all the overtime i can to pay for it, the machine ran really well and was surprisingly accurate for its age, I will stick some video up of it working on a test piece, my filming skills are not as good as they could be, but it will show the machine working thanks to all the help ive had on this forum.
Rick
Great to see you've got it all up and running, how are all those lights:tongue:.
Good news on the larger workshop.
Well the lights are not on it yet, The ridicule has given me second thoughts :lol: well here is the link to the video of the first runs of the machine, and yes i am messing around at the back with the speed of the spindle.Quote:

I've just looked back through this thread, and it's the same as your original front panel.
Hi Vitality, have a read through the thread, it'll explain it better.Quote:

Ahh yes well spotted:naughty:, the aluminium plate has a 10mm edge profile but steps out to 18mm thick 50-100mm in from the edge, the mdf has a machined socket to accept the 8mm step and yes you are correct there is double sided sticky tape to hold it firmly in place together with a tight fit, this allows me to repeat the process without having to set things up each time.( i have several pieces of stock the same size and profile) I just slot the new material in the socket push down firmly and hit the cycle start button in mach3Quote:

So chirp in if you have any input :idea:

Ok after a few PM's :whistling:Ive taken on some suggestions to the design like the addition of oil seals in front of the taper bearings and an oil gallery possibly for pumped cooling, and the addition of R8 collet dimentions, so any more input would be very usefull IE bearing type, coolant type, tool holder size and the such...:question:

Hi Dzero, From what i can read you would like to know how to send DRO information from mach3 to an LCD using a pic microcontroler, well i never got round to doing this, i got a pokeys55 and just followed the instructions as i needed some more inputs and 55 was plenty. I will post a request and see if anybody has done it with a pic...
Rick

Ok sorry to wake this thread again, but it is relevant. The lenze 534 spindle control unit went up in a puff of smoke, even after surgery by a good spirited member, it finally drew its last amp whilst re-connecting. After shedding a solo tear the knowlegable i2i pointed me in the direction of Sprint Electric Sprint Electric - DC Motor Control Technology after a few emails to the Helpfull engineers there, I arrived at the 1220 1Q 12.2A 1.8kW, 2Hp @180V Unit. It sat in the workshop for 2 months. Today i got the Lenze 534 manual and the Sprint 1220 manual and swapped the wires over and after a little tweeking like magic the old girl wizzed out 4500 rpm no probs. So there you have it.. Lenze 534 dead?? get over to those nice chaps at Sprint..
Rick
I love happy endings.
any more update here do you still have the machine
did you ever get the dro to read out on the lcd screen
