Mazak Micro Slant 15 Retrofit

Just spent over 2 hours inside the machine yanking out the resolver on Z axis, got it out !
And mounted the encoder.
YAYYYYY
Maybe tomorrow evening, if time permits, mount the 23" Dell touchscreen monitor, yank the PC out and replace with a Dell 9020 as it has an Intel network card so no issues with new kernels, and test the existing drives, after i wire the encoders to Mesa 7i77....
I know, i know, PICTURES !!!
Coming soon ...

I read your servo fine tuning write up, nice, really helped my fine tune my machine, up to 160 ipm now !!

Nice, glad it helped.

I already had a look at the first ones, but since i have yet to use "carousel" component, it is still a bit misty to me also.
Unfortunately, due to time restraints i am not sure when i will have the chance to give it a go.
I might just start building a new two-sided-4-or-5-axis-each-side machine for welding some metal framing, despite my insisting on just buying one, i was told by them that there is no such thing ready made. Some research is in order...

They had a Kuka KR150 i installed and wired and programed several years back, they sold it.
Thank you for the offer, but i am in Kosovo, getting a Mesa board here is a chalenge, getting a truck full of amonium nitrate is very easy.

Not sure when, but i will be in US pretty soon, got citizenship about 7 years back, still here chugging along. Two of my brothers are there, one for nearly 30 years, the other moved there this year.
Both are proffesional photographers, only young one is working as such.
Young one is very good at anything computer related, including networking (not home networking), cars, use of any type of cnc machine, 3D design, video editing, and a lot of other stuff.
The older one is a dumb f@ck! But can draw anything he sees, freehand.

As for the issue you asked, client is the issue, he is a ba$tard in every way possible, hence my reluctance to work with him.
Still, i like chalenges and i never back of off one.

Kosovo, not just crazy history, crazy people. Just have a look on instagram, we advertise crimes publicly!
Naah, most folk here are very nice and especially polite to foreign visitors, plenty of other nations visit here and stay here, something keeps them coming back, no idea what, we have nothing worth mentioning, except Mother Teresa and Scanderbeg or real name Gjergj Kastrioti, but if you google it he is known as Georgius in Latin.
