  1. Default

    ok first i would like to thank everyone for the advice, especially AL whos pictures helped give me the confidence to know i had installed the upgrade right and stick to my guns and not send my entire machine in to be serviced by cw like they wanted, thanks. now it turns out that it was a bad z pack motor, we found this by leaving the old motor in and just changing the board and that fixed it, then just to be sure i left everything hooked up and put the new motor back in and the errors came right back, so i think thats solved. so now once i get ahold of cw again ill ask them to send a new motor and ill return this one. but for now im up and running again on the old motor and the new carve tight wow what a difference its like a whole different machine. the only issue i have now is a x tracking problem when i do a cut path on a project say 24 in or bigger each pass is slightly off in the x direction y direction seems fine.

    GOOD JOB !!!! and Thank YOU.... My Carving Buddy GEORGE had strange Z Problems and the fix was sending the New Z back and they sent him a NEW ONE.... So lets be aware that there can be some BAD Z Motors..... And Remember NEVER Open the SERVO MOTOR and Remove the Armature. Opening the Encoder Cover is OK.... Remove the Servo Armature from the Permanent Magnet Stator and it loosed magnatisim.... I have posted this before... With all the Website Backup Documentation... My Navy Analog Computer Days taught me.... We had a "Magnetic Keeper" that we placed on the Motor to maintain the Flux lines when replacing servo bearings... Once a CW Servo is opened it needs to be Re Magnified in a Jig....

    That X Cut Path is Classic X Brass Roller is loosing contact with the board. Either the In or Out Feed table is too high and the board bumps into it or a belt is rolled under, or the board is being only held by 1 roller during the end cut and tipping UP and loosing contact with the Brass Roller..... It is ALL About the Brass Roller...

    Checking Account is happy again and so is my Buddy the EMA... "Grandpa"... His Wife, my Classmate was in Tears....

    Here is a Classic Brass Roller slipping.... or loosing contact... I preach using Masking Tape to let the brass roller press into the tape making a rack and pinion.....

    Favorite Saying.... "It's ALL About the Brass Roller"..... And "Use MASKING TAPE" for board skipping in the X or breaking bits.
