There was a short period of time that I almost thought about trying to get the hydraulic servos working with linuxcnc... (it didn't last long as I really didn't want to listen to the 20hp hydraulic unit running) Thinking though it I was going to try to run the servo valves with amc drives and injecting a 100hz signal in hall to keep the valves from sticking.. (looking at the valve schematic - it looked like it was doing something similar..)
but - the x axis is run through a right angle gearbox that has backlash (no thought of zero backlash gear train like the k&t) and the Z axis has a coupling from the servo to the lead screw that has backlash in it. sam On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 8:27 AM andy pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 26 Oct 2021 at 13:47, Eric Keller <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I wanted to modify my lathe to cut metric threads.
