RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Anilam Conversion ( was Digest 2382)

There is a slight hunting on the x and y axis. The handles move back
slightly upon reaching a stop(about 2 or 3 thou on the dial). I have not put
an indicatior on to see if the table is actually moving. I am currently
using Master5 CNC as the control and with the changes in this program have
not had a lot of time to investigate the details, but I am satisfied that
this was the best approach for my needs

Larry,

I have a Supermax mill with what sounds like the same Anilam Crusader II
control. The
control is gone but the servo amps, motors, ps, and scales are OK. I have
been
considering the Gecko 340 drivers but I'm concerned about the lost motion
between
leadscrews and the linear table scales might cause excess hunting of the
motors.
Have you had this problem?
