SWN99 Thanks for replying back, I appreciate it. You're original statement was, "Crazy, there isn't much difference if any. LD Shafts are pure marketing". I'm curious about where that comes from. The implication is that there isn't much difference between LD shafts and non LD shafts, and that...

While I do agree with what you say, it is symantics. The industry had already created the definitions that we had to follow. I personally don't like the term "LD", so I always try to follow it up with Cue Ball Deflection. At least it's an attempt to bridge the 2 anyway. I think we were the...

SWN I'm really curious why you feel that way. As a guy who makes LD (low cue ball deflection) shafts, I'm absolutely certain that cue ball deflection is not only real, but it can be effected by the engineering of the cue shaft. Do you not believe that cue ball deflection is real? Do you not...

Nick :Yes, I do like an acme screw for the Z. I like for a couple of reasons. One, of course is the possibility of the Z dropping when powered off, and the other is really about dust. It's tough to keep a Z axis ball screw free of the dust. And, of course, price is a factor as well. I don't...

Never mind I'll go back to keeping things to myself. Royce

Seven You should send it in anyway. You're already sending in the OB 122, and it may be something we can easily take care of. Also, it's unusual, so I'd really like to get a look at it. Worst case scenario, we just send it back with the other cue. Royce

Seven days I've never seen anything like that. It's very interesting. Of course, I'd be happy to take a look at them to maybe figure out what happened, and possibly repair them for you. Go to our website, www.obcues.com and follow the instructions on the warranty page to send them in to us...

Very good observations! See my comments in blue above Royce

Here's a comparison of what I see as necessary components for each system. Clearpath Ethernet SmoothStepper ESS terminal board TTL relay board if needed Toroid power supply with 5v out also Clearpath motor (1 for each axis) with 1 signal cable and 1 dc power cable each. Home switch board and...

Joey I understand, but keep in mind that I have 2 stepper based systems now that don't ever really get out of position. They are both Gecko G203v systems with Gecko's steppers, but they do work very well without miss-positioning. One of them, which is on George's machine, rapids at 800 ipm with...

Ok, so now that the distraction and mess is behind us, I would like to continue to try to learn more about the leadshine Easy Servo system. Maybe we can get some where now. Here's what I know. They are discreet drives, meaning that each drive is a single axis. Each drive has a 200khz cap...

George I'm really sorry that you don't see this but I've never slammed you or your machine. As a matter of fact I've recommended them to many, including Bob Dzuricky! I've never tried to argue with you about any kind of machines, what control is best, anything. The only statements you've made...

George, You seem to keep asking for me to post the advantages of clearpath motors. While I don't think this thread is any kind of contest and I don't think posting anything like this will solve anything, I'd be happy to post what I think you want. Here are the advantages, from my perspective...

Just so everyone is on the same page, George sent me this exact message via PM. The only difference is that he put my name in place of the ----- at the beginning. George, I'm assuming that your representing this message as something coming from someone other than yourself. It comes from your...

So, Rick, are you saying I'm speaking the truth, or that I'm not speaking the truth? Royce

Reason is not automatic Those who deny it, cannot be conquered by it. Leave them alone. A quote from Ayn Rand that I think applies here. I will now "leave it alone" Royce

Well, Mike. One thing I won't do is disparage Tiger. They are great people and build great products. We have a very good relationship with them. I just don't work that way. Royce

Up to your old tricks again, ey Mike. How about this: https://www.facebook.com/100009331599524/videos/1468327056821667/?pnref=story It looks like it jumps pretty good to me. As a matter of fact, pretty much anyone who comes to our booth has been able jump balls very easily in no time. Sorry...

George, Ok, so if your customer wants a machine with all necessary to run, what do you offer? Are you saying that you don't offer them anything? I'm a little confused. Please don't take this as critical of you. I'm just trying to understand. Royce

George I just might like to try the Easy Servo. What would you recommend for my inlay machine. XZero Raptor (older version from a few years ago) 4 axis, X Y Z A 10mm pitch ball screws 800 ipm rapid speeds Real actual step resolution of .00006", max (to allow for following error and be in...
