- I install the new electric brake for the Z axis and use the Autotune feature of Teknic MSP 2.0 software to tune the Z axis servo.

Thanks Marty! I was able to follow along exactly with you. My Z Axis is working excellently now!
Great to hear!
Nice retrofit Marty. I have a set of CP servos for my build. I like the Acorn board. I wish they'd do away with db25 connector and offer more inputs
DB25 is for 5vdc logic drives. If you really need more IO, consider an Ether1616
Hi Marty, great setup. Do you use 2 different power supplies, one for the Power Hub and another for Acorn? If so, why can't you use the power supply shipped with the Acorn to power the Power Hub? Thanks for the info, very informative.
I used two different power supplies, one primarily for Acorn and it's logic and one for the Estop contactor and Power4-Hub. They are cheap and it's cheap insurance for the reliability of the control in my opinion. Also, it wasn't clear how much current was required to maintain power to the drives
@@martyscncgarage5275 Thanks for the speedy reply - in the process of doing the layout for my panel and following your recommendations. Thanks!
Hi Marty, thought I'd let you know, I reached out to Teknic for more information and the wattage requirements for the Power Hub is 3W per motor (p200 in the manual), so in my case 9W. The power supply that came with the Acorn board (Mean Well RD-35B) has a rated output of 35W so I think that I'm safe with only the power supply bought from Centroid's Acorn system. Thanks again :)
Nice Marty...what keys do we enter to get to the Diagnostics panel?
Alt i toggles it
@@martyscncgarage5275 Thanks Marty!!!!!!!
Hey Marty, do you have any videos on a comparison between clearpath vs dmm servos or reviews of each one independently?
No sir.
I noticed in the teknic brake manual, they recommended a flyback diode in certain installs. Do you feel one is needed when using the acorn relays?
I did not need one. You should discuss with Teknic
Thanks, I will! I’ve really learned a lot from your videos! Great content!
Marty, did you get that brake from Teknic? I don’t see any reference to it on their website.
When I told Teknic I needed a motor with a brake they sent it to me. You'll have to call them if you need one
Hi Paul,
I'm an engineer with Teknic and saw your question about brakes. While we don't sell brakes currently, we've evaluating selling brakes on our webstore (this might launch late this year, so subscribe to our email list if you want the latest product updates).
In the meantime, we have several partner companies that offer brakes (and other components) that we would be happy to put you in touch with, depending on the requirements. Please give us a call at +1 585 784 7454 or contact us at: www.teknic.com/contact/
Best regards,
Aaron B. - Teknic Servo Systems Engineer
Are there diode snubbers on those relay contacts?
Snubbers go across relay coils
are you selling this machine after your conversion is done?
hi Marty, would you be willing/able to help with a bridgeport repair in glendale/phoenix area?
Hi Walter. I am no longer insured to work on machines and I would only work on Centroid controls.
@@MartyEscarcega I'm really only in need of someone with ur experience to help run down the source of the issues with the machine and possibly some advice as to replacing the electronics
Hi Marty how stable is centroid software?
Very. The entire control is stable provided you use GOOD wiring practices, properly sized drives/motors and a Windows 10 PC meeting the minimum performance requirements. Centroid has been building CNC machine motion controllers for over 30 years
What was the Total cost of this retrofit?
I would estimate back then it would cost about $3500 you do all the work yourself.
