MaxMotion for Machines Appendix E-245
N. If you find that the step motors are attached to the table with a
rubberized gasket between the table and the step motor to
reduce the noise, it is advisable to ground the motors. A green
additional ground cable is provided with the kit. Please, loosen
one of the four screws on each of the motors as well as the
screw holding the ground wire in the back of the table. Take
our green wire with a bunch of metal lugs and connect the two
closest ones to the two motors on the right. Run the wires to
the third motor in the back, another lug to the skin of the table
and bring out the last part of the cable to the outside and in the
back of the table. Connect this ground wire to the ground wire
on the interface cable. This helps you to prevent the build up
of static electricity.
P. It will be easier to guide the cables through one of the holes in
the back of the shell if all the electronics is removed. If not,
find a way to guide the cables through a convenient gap.
Q. Run the machine before closing the machine back. In case you
find that the Control Pad seems to be moving wrong axis, it is
possible that connectors were switched by mistake.
R. Note that the setting shows that only the X and the Y axis limit
switches are activated. The Z axis is not present. That is
because there is no limit switch for the Z axis in this machine.
This also means that you should study and learn to set the Z
axis offset and lift properly for smooth functioning..
CAUTIONS
A. The limit switch wiring is connected for X and Y axis and it is to be
used for going home. You can simply utilize the Home key in the
control pad and the spindle will move to the Home position.
B. You should use our 10 key keypad implementation to jog the tool to
the starting point of a job. SURFACE command is not necessary for
this machine because the Z-axis is controlled by a solenoid and it is not
motorized. Load your tools in a normal manner that you are used to.
The software knows the starting and ending positions and it will
automatically come back to starting position upon sending the next job.
C. We have designed the logic so that the stepper motors are running
at a reduced current when they are not executing a job or the operator is
not jogging the table. This will keep the motors running cool and will
not allow build up of heat. Also, the amplifiers will run cool.
D. Be sure to read the manual and ask us for our latest information as
