got the bios battery replaced, i cut the old one out and then soldered some leads onto the old tabs for it and then have the new one just in a tape ball abomination that works.Īlso got a vintage windows xp computer with a floppy drive so to get around the usb emulation adapter. it now moves in a similar fashion to the others. had to rewire the x servo as it had been hacked up at the servo box pretty badly. When i left off with it, i had gotten all axes moving. it feels tight on the screws tbh but i could put some indicators and a degree wheel on it to actually check.
im pretty sure it uses rotary encoders and scales, id assume most of the motion is controlled by the encoders, and the scales comp error possibly. Jonhad a couple of other projects get in the way of this over the winter, but ready to start again on it.
Could also be a worn ballscrew, how much slop do you have in it? It looks like this is a scale driven system vs a rotary encoder, correct? Make sure you have nothing in the backlash settings since if it is linear. it was a very small movement in the handle.Īgain, thanks to all for the pointers and many thanks to jerry to getting me pointed in the right direction with some software. at one point the y axis was "hunting" around for a while. theres an abomination of some wiring repair on the x so i'll need to address that.
ANILAM SERIES 1100 MANUAL DRIVERS
got it to turn the drivers on, and then tried to jog it on y and z and it would do a really small move and toss an error something like axis lag. was able to move through the controls menus without a system crash. Got it to boot consistently numerous times today. There is currently some really wonky usb via floppy adapter on it, took a quick peek at some documentation for it, i may need to do some file structure things slightly different. 6.48h.īios battery is smoked, but its permanently mounted, so im going to figure out what to do with that, might cut it off, and remote mount a substitute, im pretty comfortable with pth and smd soldering. More putzing this afternoon, jerry sent over the current software, turns out, the machine already had it. Took him a few minutes, but the thing was he said it was just like an old Fadal!Įverything was right where it was supposed to be, right at home. Library.Īdditionally, I had Dave up from M&M CNC doing some work on the Fadal which he finished real quick, so I asked him to see what was wrong with my 1100 control. I'll have to see if I can dig that up and park it in our P.M. If it has a thumb drive in it, same thing. after some more digging did figure out that the the servo drives were tapped from the 120 line.Make sure you don't have a floppy in it. the prior owner said the hard drive was clicking alot so im assuming the disk is about dead. nice catch on the date but the bios battery didnt throw an error which they usually do when they are dead. it booted once, then it hung and then couldnt find the disk on reboot. jerry was recommended by the previous owner.
