thank you ‘old mart’

im in awe of what can be achieved with engineering ingenuity and limitless patience, two qualities which i see in all the model makers i’ve met.

thanks Graham

yes that’s exactly it. just a line of code that tells the servos to “brace themselves” for a heavy cut.

cheers

graham

may be you could give me a tip ?

whsts there are no xy locks so i need to run a program to enable and lock the servos to hold position.

thanks

hi graham

i had the same issue with three phase. the company wanted over 12 grand to supply me.

so i went to DrivesDirect and got great service and a reasonable price. i think i paid under £3k.

but unlike small inverters which are “one per machine” this one supplied the entire workshop.

and the xyz is basically a 110v machine so all the controls, the cnc servos work from a 13amp plug top.

thank you howard
