Upgrade CNC with Closed Loop Steppers?

- After 6 months of use, was this update worth it? In Sept. 2022, I upgraded my CNC router with closed loop stepper motors and drives. This video answers the question "Was it worth it".

Very nice explanation, I have realized the price of closed loop systems is way down now, and so will be swapping mine out as well.
Hi ServiceProcess,
Thank you for the kind words! Yes, it is much more affordable today and it certainly is advantageous to have a closed loop system!
Cheers!

great carvings, fine machine, could do faces or couples, the burn effect might even be a feature if it can be controlled.
Hi Ben,
Thanks! The burn "effect" is very damaging to the tools so it would not be an ideal thing to do.
Cheers!

so apparently, youtube doesnt want me warning people of potential electrical hazards when i made a coment about putting high voltage components in with low voltage devices, so they deleted it. there is information (from reputable companies) about proper electrical practices and corvetteman on youtube has some great info as well. great video. you are very smart. is that better youtube? i told the guy he was smart. we are getting wat too sensitive.
Hi jg00163206,
I am not aware of TH-cam deleting any messages. I do have messages flagged for review if they seem troublesome but rarely ever see anything go in there.
I am not sure of your reference but I can assure you, virtually every CNC machine on earth has both high-voltage AC and Low voltage DC (24V) in the same cabinet. Granted I have only been using them and working on them for about 44 years and have worked for industrial machine tool builders from all over the world, there could be exceptions to what I am saying.
Aside from offering that information, I am not sure I understand your other comments or questions but would certainly like to address them.
Cheers!

Hello can u explain how to invert the direction of the motor so that 2 motors can be on the same axis using NEMA 34 and hsb860h driver. I mean detail wiring
Hi olufemisotunde3868,
I would need a lot more information about your system to create a custom schematic on how to wire up your drives and motors and that would require more time than I have available. However, assuming the drive is a step and direction drive, the only thing you need to do is set the direction pin to low for one motor and high for the other motor and they will run opposite directions.
What you are probably trying to do is have one output from your control software (such as X axis outputs) drive TWO motors. That is not the best way to do dual motor drives on a single axis as it causes many problems. Your CNC (assuming CNC) software should allow you to set a "slave" axis that would provide that motor with its own Step and Direction signal data.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers!

What board are you using ?
And which drivers ands motor ?
I assume by "board" you mean control. It is the Centroid Acorn. The drivers and motors are from Automation Technologies.
Chris
@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut how do you like the centroid acorn ? Would you still go with that controller if you had to do all over again ?
You can very much tell the difference in quality and performance between the Acorn and all other "hobbiest" level controls, hands down the Acorn is more reliable and robust. It may not be as "open" as MACH 3 was, but is sure is more capable.
Keep the ball screws!
Hi Jack,
Yeah, the older I get the more I realize I don't need things going faster!
Cheers!
