Re: Z stepper mount #RELS


 

Yes Richard, The stepper I can disable with the Enable function but I was thinking of a situation where I needed to immediately?STOP everything.?

It's interesting as I have very little actual machine time so I do not know the perils.
As I have said I flunked out of Machine shop II 55 years ago and have never touched a machine since.

Why worry about the spindle stopping, I thought that the problem was the use of high torque? motor driving the leadscrew. A limit switch will stop that. Be aware that it is not good policy the have a high deceleration rate on a spindle with a screw on chuck!
I need to say that I have had an ELS for quite a few years and have never crashed it yet!

Interesting thanks, I only bought the motor because of the sale.

I "plan" on having travel stops, but do not know how to get my spindle to fast stop.

I use the and there is very little known about the controller.

I am currently?using a 10 k pot in place of the Hall Effect foot pedal and when I turn the pot down there appears that there might be braking
involved. If I just turn the power off the motor continues to? rotate.

Ralph 12 Nm is a beast if you run it at its rated current. I have one on my mill and managed to shear a drive key using the stepper at full rated current. Fortunately the stepper drive has lower current settings.....its on about half rated current now.
Don¡¯t (how do I know ? ) use it at full current with out a trip switch to prevent end stop crashes.

By the way with Lindo¡¯s corollary.....tools are not the only things cats make off with ! interesting curls of steel and aluminium also walk too. And they end up in funny and not so funny places....a freshly made bed ?
And of course O¡¯flanagan held that Murphy was an optimist.
