hey andy bit of a pity on the stumble drives
I have the option to get a almost unused cnc mill identical to my current machine. and just thinking if I want to go down that path. the new one has a 4th axis already there. it had bad electrical problems from day one almost. so is in very good shape. and the price is right. besides who doesn't want 2 cnc mills:) ballscrews are 16 mm pitch on x and y axis last time I bought all new chinese drives and motors and just gutted everything. that works ok but costs 1700 usd for 3 axis and also the tuning leaves something to be desired in my opinion. the servo drives don't have a PID controller it is just a PIV and I am having to accept slightly lower performance than I would like. it is not bad but definitely could be better. anyway just looking into options and the mesa 8i20 came up. would love to hear how much power they can handle when maxed out. I will upload a photo of the name plate from my motor I want to control It is possible I can use the original heidenhain inverters(servo drive) but that may be blown up. I will try this first If I buy the machine though regards Andrew On Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 10:00 AM andy pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 3 Jun 2020 at 22:46, andrew beck <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > the max power the servo drive can control apparently is 2200w so the > servo > > drive is slightly under powered. > > > There is a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24LftGNp4MI of an > STMBL running at 5.8kVA. > > But there are many caveats to this: > 1) You can't get one > 2) If you get most of one, there are no power drivers. > 3) They need configuring, a whole other HAL. > > 1 and 2 might improve.
