Wow how my life is passing me by so fast! I can't believe it was 6-29 when I last posted on this. I got diverted on several other projects and the work on the Milltronics mill took more effort than I thought. Anyway last night I finally finished the mill and got everything working! The Viper servo drives have performed well in initial tests, but the Y-axis was "jumpy" and weak at low jog speed only. Hooking the serial cable up I was able to adjust the parameters (mostly lowering the derivative) and got all 3 axes running.
This weekend I'll finish fine tuning and cut some test parts. I'll post a few pictures of the final setup. |
