very detailed. now i'm convinced this is the way to go.
@@RayMAKES Ray, I believe you'll be very pleased with Centroid Acorn. Centroid continues to improved the hardware and software.
@@martyscncgarage5275 I'm actually retrofitting an old plasmacam table. I wonder if the conversational aspect of cnc12 would be easy enough for my guys to use to make flanges and cover plates
can you use the original 40 in lb servo motors instead of the centroid motors ?
Yes you could, but you'll need to make sure you have or fit up 5vdc differential encoders to them
so why can't you simply swap the two motor leads at the ALLIN1DC control board? since its dc it will reverse
Not the proper way to reverse the direction. The encoder and motor rotation need to be synchronized. Otherwise you can have a run away condition. The motor is turning one direction by the encoder reports it's turning the wrong way, so the controller tries to force the servo into position, which it can't do. Until it faults. So, it's not as easy as just swapping motor power leads
thank you so much for doing this video...I am getting ready to build my box for my mill...i am going to go withthe DMM servo motors..mainly becuase of budget...great video
My machine is Mill, the spindle motor is also from FUNUC, can Centroid AC/DC Drives control it?
Not likely. I would suggest you call Centroid. You'll need a spindle drive that accepts +/- 0-10vdc analog input
@@martyscncgarage5275 So what to do when the AC/DC Drives only control 3 axes X, Y, Z. Do you have a way to control the main axis?
@@noithugian494I don't follow. Please go to the Centroid CNC Users Forum and post pictures of your machine, axis motors, axis drives, spindle motor, spindle drive and pictures of their nameplates. We can help better with more information centroidcncforum.com/
Hello Marty! I haven't seen you post in a while. I have a question for you. I use an acorn, and I need to wire up the limit switches. On my X and Y axis I have only one swith and two trips on this retrofit machine. Is it possible to program Acorn for one switch per axis? Thanks.
Yes. Very common to use one NC home switch per axis and to put them in series and use ONE input on Acorn. Program the input HomeAll
@martyscncgarage5275 Hello, Marty, Im not talking about the goming switches. I was talking about the hard limit switches in case the servos run away. I have one limit switches per axis and two trip blocks on both ends of the table. That's the way Anilam did their CNC that I'm retrofitting with Acorn. I think I might have a solution, I'm thinking of running parallel wires from one contact to for both axis limits.
@@trikepedaler there are limit inputs. Did you buy Ether1616 so you have more inputs? Memory serves there is also a LimitAll input that works like HomeAll
@martyscncgarage5275 Thanks again, I watched your limit and home switch video on UA-cam . Thanks again.
I have a old Hardinge cobra with fanuc 21-t controller I'm going to retrofit it with centroid
Hey Marty I was looking at buying a DMM 86M-DHT 0.75kW AC Servo Motor and run it from one of the DYN4 AC Servo Drives. Do you think the 86M-DHT motor would fit in the Syil X4 head? It says its a NEMA 34 and with 14mm shaft just like the original BLDC motors the machine comes with? Thanks
I don't recommend using an AC servo for a spindle motor. I have not had good luck getting them tuned. They are really not designed for spindles. Feel free to reach out to DMM for further advice.
Hey sorry if I'm annoying you with all the questions but I think what your doing is awesome and I want to do the same thing. Infract I even went and bought a CUI Devices AMT312Q encoder for the spindle motor and a used Ultra3000 drive in hopes to be able to have variable speeds up to 5000rmp with ridged taping. well it turns out that the drive I was sold is defective with error faults that I cant get to clear and work properly. Anyways I'm thinking of throwing my ripoff drive away and starting from scratch including the spindle motor. I was just wondering what DMM spindle motor should I get and a drive? Or which ones can I get that would still be compatible with the encoder and but convertible to run on Step/Dir and fit in the Syil X4? Anyways awesome thanks....
I would try and stick with a 3 phase motor and VFD with a braking resistor for the spindle. I got lucky and was able to mount a differential 5vdc encoder on the other end. I would go with Clearpath SDSK servos on all axis. Be sure to get one with a brake for the Z axis if necessary
Hi Marty! I inherited a 2 x 2 Phoenix with a super old centroid controller and a very very old tower pc. I am thinking the right thing to do is to update it to Acorn, but in skimming your videos here I can see the upgrade may be out of my league. I’m more of a CNC programmer than a builder or mechanic. I wonder if you know any Acorn enthusiasts in Tacoma Seattle area that could help me out? Thanks..
Go to the Centroid Users Forum and post the details.
Can you add a braking resistor to a motor without a vfd?
No. The braking resistor is part of the VFD and not all VFDs support them.
I would like to glue a magnet under the tool setter (on the transparent plastic part), to fix it to the CNC surface. Or could this create interference?
Should be ok. Give it a try
those numbers dint match with the tuning numbers why?
You're asking something that's years old. Unsure what you are referring to. The machine is still being used currently.
Thanks Marty! I was able to follow along exactly with you. My Z Axis is working excellently now!
Great to hear!
I'm going the same route atm but with a Boxford 250. I'm still gathering the bits, just the spindle drive and touch screen to go. My turret looks a bit similar to that one so I'm keen to see how you go about controlling yours. Thanks for the whole series of videos, very informative and extremely useful.
The Emcoturn 120 has long been done. It used 4 sensor gray logic. It would be very helpful if you found a schematic for your turret/machine

Hey Marty. I'm trying to set up my KP 3 touch probe. The company that did my conversion (LMS 3990) directed me to your channel for info. I need help with wiring please. On the Acorn KP-3 wiring drawing file S15020.DWG it shows connecting 2 wires to IN6 and IN7. On my board there is a wire already in IN6 for a limiter switch. What can I do to work around this and get the probe installed? Thanks in advance.
Use and assign an unused input. You will also need the detect to let the control know you have the KP3 connected. Those would be the two inputs. You have a third wire that needs to be wired to COM Please post to the Centroid User Forum. Post picture of your cable you received with KP-3 centroidcncforum.com/viewforum.php?f=60
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos! They are really helpful and im going to be watching them all. I want to do this same conversion your doing switching over to Acorns and DMM equipment.
Look at Clearpath SDSK servos, also Leadshine AC servos. Go to the Centroid User forums, post pictures of your machines and folks will provide suggestions as well
Does the c86 convert the 24v power to 5volt for the drive logic?
The drive logic for step direction signals comes from Acorn, it's passed through C86. Some signals are monitored by C86. You still need an appropriate motor power supply
where can someone acquire one of these machines these days? Im currently taking courses in advanced manufacturing and going to dedicate my wallet to my first mill but can find any that will fit in the little small shop space I have.
Well, they are out there. Watch Craigslist, FB marketplace, even eBay. Problem is, like this one, control is dead and needs an upgrade with many of them. Good. Luck!
You might also look at Precision Matthews mills. If you want to do a CNC conversion, look at Grizzly G0704 and convert it. Google G0704 CNC and you'll find a lot of info. Syil also makes CNC machines us.syil.com/
@martyscncgarage5275 Hi Marty so I went ahead and bought one of these it was bran new from a guy on OfferUp. I’ve got it all setup and running great with LinuxCNC but my only problem is I don't understand how to get the spinal working through software. I’m able to run M3 S1000 and M4 S1000 and on the display panel of the machine indicates the direction is changing from forward and reverse but the spindle does not turn on. Is there some sort of PWM settings I’m also supposed to be configuring? If so, I don’t understand it and my guess is that I’m supposed to configure PWM on either pin 3 or pin 9 because in the user manual it says those are signal pins of some kind. I did try it once and after turning the spindle on through LinuxCNC the back of the main power panel made a horrible noise like a relay freaking out and immediately pulled the plug. Hope I didn’t damage anything. But can you give me any advice on what I should do? There's no information about configuring the spindle online and Syil won’t respond to my messages. You seem to be extremely knowledgeable on all this. Thanks?
@@DaveNorthWest I'm sorry I know nothing about Linux CNC and it's hardware.

Hello Marty. I have a question on the C86ACCP. I recently installed the board, the new one with the flying lead terminal blocks. I see in the GCnC Revisions manual that you have wire jumpers in the two position flying lead blocks. Are these necessary when using the molex plugs. I ask because I seem to have to have input 5 set to NO red circle. If set to NC drive fault occurs upon any movement. I wired everything else as per your video.
I am unaware of this. However, I am going to be setting up a Clearpath SDSK system up soon and if there is something new or different, I'll post an update video on that subject
You should post to the Centroid User Forum be sure to let everyone know what schematic you used and the excerpt from the manual you are quoting. Always post a fresh report as well. I have not been active because I've had some personal projects and they've only multiplied

In August 2008 I purchased a new CNC milling machine with a centroid control. It was exactly 15 years to the day and to the hour from the time I energized the machine, that the mother board crashed. Take it for what you think, but I think an inbuilt virus is to blame for the sole reason of selling another control. Once you have a $30,000 machine and the control dies you have a $30,000 boat anchor. So yes I did buy an updated control and now it has been 3 weeks trying to get the spindle to rotate. 4 months and the machine is still a boat anchor. Please help me.
Hi Ronald. Not sure what you have. I can tell you that many people get overwhelmed with the conversion and or find they don't have the ability to wrap their mind around it and abandon the project. Others are too busy to do it and hire someone to get it done and back in service. They find it can be pricey, but if the machine is expensive, it can be put back into service and start making money again

Awesome videos. I own a mechanically astounding VMC20 that I’d love to retrofit soon. The dc drives and motors work wonderfully and currently that is my big hold up. I’m assuming I’d need some 1.8kw to 2.2kw servos to replace them and that gets pricey fast. That said I’m definitely planning so when that does occur I know what my options are.
If the DC brush servos are good, consider Centroid All in One DC. You will likely have to upgrade the encoders in them
Marty Does centroid allow for multiple homes you can choose?
Homing a machine sets the machine datum. You can create multiple work coordinates. What are you trying to accomplish?
Would proximity sensor work same as limit switch?
Yes, preferred over a mechanical limit switch. Make sure it is NPN 24vdc NC

Marty What is VFD?
Variable Frequency Drive. Controls the speed of the spindle motor
I ran this test and had no problem, but after connecting it to the VFD, the voltage was severely loaded down, reading about a third of what it should be, and was jumping around. Turned out that not shielding the cable carrying the analog command to the VFD is a BAD idea, at least for my setup.
Make sure you only ground the shield at the Acorn end and only to one common ground point.
Does wizard come with centroids software?
Absolutely! It's how you configure the software. Centroid also has an installation manual and many schematics

Marty, while using this video to add homing to my machine I noticed that you were required to cycle reset to start your machine. The version I am using does not have this feature. This is want. I want to require a software reset on power up and after an e-stop. Is this an option somewhere in the parameters? Sorry a little off topic.
The software used to require a reset on power up. Are you saying that feature is missing? Please run over to the Centroid CNC User's forum and post a fresh report there with your concern. Centroid will comment on it. If you hit Estop and reset E-Stop, you reset CNC12
