Denford Triac VMC w/ ATC conversion

[stallone]

So I was able to get a little time with the machine this last weekend, but not much. I started to test the backlash on the Triac but I think I was doing it wrong. I am too inexperienced!! However, I did notice the end of the leadscrew (I think it is that) with the pulley, it moves back and forth approximate 2 degrees before engaging. I am not sure if this tells me anything.

I did have time to measure the position of the stepper pulley on the shafts for the new stepper. The new steppers for x and y are much larger than the originals, but they fit!



Thanks for your help,
