ELS conversion

Rui Dantas All Messages By This Member #116350 开云体育 I have been watching some YouTube and there is on system some guy made and he had all kinds of programmable boards on it. Seemed very complicated but he apparently has all the parts for sale to the public just don’t know how I would program the boards… I’m just a hobbyist? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 23, 2024, at 1:25?PM, Ralph Hulslander <rhulslander@...> wrote: ? Rui, my Craftsman 12x36 has a direct drive motorized Z axis. Not sure what you mean by "all the electronics"? Eventually I might get around to doing a motorized X axis. The hardest part is deciding how you are going to motorize the axis, and implementing your decision. It took me years after following all of the discussions?on the web to actually?doing it. Let me know any questions you might have or if you just want encouragement.? I did it all by myself without anyone to talk to, that made it tough. Until I got to the programming part where I got some great help. Once you get the motor mounted I have a great stand alone program for motorizing an axis.

Greg All Messages By This Member #116347 开云体育 Have, yes… installed – no.? ? But boy do I want it… But a bathroom remodel has taken precedence. ? The real issue is mounting the motor in a convenient place and getting it connected.? The plan is to use a timing belt and a 2:1 or 3:1 reduction from the ELS motor. ? I got a Step direction integrated servo.? So power and a few signals is all that’s needed to the motor and of course the encoder to the spindle.? ? Directions are good but you need to be able to solder and depending on the computer used, it can be a little daunting to get it programmed.? ? Greg
