| Servo Driven 4th Axis for CNC Mill |
| << < (34/39) > >> |
| Hazel:
Okay, in for a penny so to speak, I decided to repair the module, seems to be SM capacitors. Reassembled and all the front end 4th encoder amps now work the same as the others! So, now to reassemble the mill... |

Well done that girl :bow: |
| Hazel:
So now I've put the TNC151 back in the mill, connected an encoder to the 4th axis , and after the usual referencing I now get counts in the 4th axis, and sure enough they go from 0 to 359.999 Yay. Of course I still have to figure out the axis home signal, and put the choke, servo card and amphenol connectors into the cabinet, oh and repair the encoder in the 4th axis, which has a dead bulb. I also have to put the spindle bearings back in as I had a large amount of play while I was trying to calibrate my home made touch probe. Seems like a long time since I had any chips on the garage floor and in my hair... :nrocks: |

Hazel, do you have a particular 'thing' that you need to make, or is it, (like me) the journey that you enjoy ? |
| Hazel:
I do have a project in mind - A 5 cylinder radial engine, which will require some accurate placement of lifters to get the sound I want. :drool: |
