Bearings - Position 1/2" Lead Screws

Will the redleaf package allow me to run a torch height controller and 2 nema 34 motors for my gantry? I would prefer to have motors on both sides of the machine with a heavy gantry

Yes, the redLeaf plug-and-play CNC electronics can include a THC (Torch Height Controller) and motors of any size. The limit of the number of motors that this package can include is 8 motors in total.

What is the footprint of the blacktoe 4x2?

The footprint of the optional blackToe table, is from its most outward points (73" inches x 34" inches) and for the gantry itself (36.5" inches width x 17.25" inches length x 29.5" inches height). Additional Information: Thank you. Let me ask a clarification question.From this description, can I presume that the 4x2 router kit can be attached to a torsion box-like table that is 73"x34", has a two inch overhang, and four inches of space below the overhang, and that the fully assembled unit will fit in a space that is 73" long by 36.5" wide (with a little bit of clearance, of course)? If I have extra space in the long direction, can I get longer rails and extend the table?

What causes one of my two x-axis motors to stop while the Mach 3 program is still running?

If one of your stepper motors decides to stop moving and the others are moving during a CNC milling or laser cutting job, then there could be two things that could be causing this. - The motor found its limiting torque (usually comes with a not-so-pleasant sound). This is where the control software is trying to move the stepper motor too fast (velocity, or too fast too quickly, acceleration) and the load against the stepper motor (inertia of the machine, or the material against the end mill while milling). Recommended action is to lower the velocity and/or acceleration, and/or lower the feedrate when cutting. - There is a wiring issue with the wiring from the driver to the motor. This could be a loose wire, or a chafed wire (or two shorting together). It can also be a loose digital wire from the controller board to the driver. Sometimes wire ties can be the culprit. Recommended action would be to thoroughly inspect the wiring. It's probably not the limit switches since that would cause a stop to the entire motion of the cnc router or laser machine. Sometimes Mach3 will show a status when something goes wrong, but in cases where the motor is stopping due to its torque limit, then that would not be shown in the status. It's always good to check it anyway. Additional Information: I need to clarify my situation a little better after going to my shop and trying to run another program on Mach 3. About 15 minutes into the milling process all the motors (2-X axis, Y axis and Z axis)stop but the program continues to run. I stop the program and after a couple of minutes when I try to restart the program all the motors start working again. Then after another 15 minutes or so, all the motors stop again. I checked and rechecked my wiring. This has never happened to me before when running the same programs with the same setups and motor speeds. All of a sudden when I reloaded a program I successfully used before it does this. Do you have any recommendations? Additional Information: Yeah, it sounds like a more complex issue. Have you tried running in the air without using the spindle. This may be a power related issue. Additional Information: That's exactly what I did. I ran the program without the router motor on just to see if the motors would get through the whole program but they stopped working after about fifteen minutes and then I was able to start them again after about 3 or 4 minutes. I never had this problem before so you can imagine my frustration especially after ruining a couple of projects on expensive material. Additional Information: Sure. I can completely understand. Try this: disconnect all but one of the driver from power and digital connection and do the air run. Repeat this for each driver and note your findings. This will rule out the drivers causing a power failure. Also, is your stepper motors and drivers on a separate power circuit from the computer? Additional Information: I will try disconnecting each driver and digital connection, which will be a real pain because it will be hard to access. All the stepper motors, drivers and computer are plugged into the same power strip. Additional Information: Ok, so there is no power failure going on, but I believe it is necessary to test each stepper motor and driver pair individually. Hopefully that will lead to a conclusion. Additional Information: It will take a little time but I will do it and report back on my findings. Additional Information: Curious, what machine is exhibiting this problem? Additional Information: I purchased a BYCNC kit back in 2009 with an approximate cutting area of 2' X 4'. I later changed out the Z-Axis Motor and controller for a larger one and have two X-axis motors and controllers. In 2010 I rebuilt the machine out of birch plywood instead of the particle board that the kit supplied. I sent Patrick pictures to him. The machine never gave me a problem till now. Additional Information: Thanks for the update. This is Patrick by the way. I answer pretty much all of the Customer Service questions. That machine has given quite a good history. Additional Information: I love the machine and made a number of samples of my work for my e-commerce site, but I can't start selling product until I know this problem is solved because I will not be able to fulfill orders. I finally got all the electronics out of its enclosed protected area near the machine so that I test each controller as you recommended. I hope the problem can be rectified. Will let you know. Additional Information: Thanks. Additional Information: I tested each stepper motor and driver pair individually and they worked so what might be the next step? Additional Information: Did each stepper motor driver pair work for the full +15 minutes? Additional Information: Yes, I had them in operation for over 30 minutes. Additional Information: Ok, well it�s good that the motors and driver are ok. We are now down to the power supply and the breakout board as possible causes for the stop. I have a feeling it may be the power supply where with all three drivers drawing current and the power supply maybe getting too hot. Is the fan in the power supply working? You can also test to see if there is 36 volts on the power supply voltage output (V+ and V-). Regarding the breakout board, if you have an oscilloscope, you can test if the driver pulses are outputting, but I would consider this as a last resort after you determine if there is a problem with the power supply. Additional Information: I tested the power supply with a voltmeter and each output was registering 39-40 volts. I think the problem may be the g-code. I am using V-Carve pro to do design and output to Mach 3 Mill g-code. When I studied the g-code lines I noticed that further into the program the z-axis g-code stopped zeroing out to move to the next part of the carving. In other words both the x and y keep moving and the z just stopped working because there was g-code missing. I think something is missing when the design was converted to g-code. I noticed that when I ran a simpler project it worked without problems so I need to investigate this further. Additional Information: New Update, Its not the g-code. I started to run the long program and everything was working fine until about 45 minutes into it, all the motors stopped working (but the program was still running) and there was a high pitched hum. When I put my hands on the motors they were all trying to move but it seemed they were all stalled. I turned the power off, gave it a minute and when I turned it back on I was able to move the motors again. Could this be a power supply problem? Additional Information: It does sound more and more like a power supply problem. Did you test the power supply after the motors stopped? Additional Information: No, I did not. What should I be looking for. Additional Information: It�s good that you know the voltage during normal operation, so you have a base understood. If the power supply is the problem, the voltage will be reduced or non existent when measured after the problem. Additional Information: Also, check to see if the fan is running on the power supply when the motors stop. That may (not absolutely) be an indication. Additional Information: I'll run another test, check the voltage and fan when the problem occurs and let you know. Thanks for hanging in there with me as we try to resolve the problem. Additional Information: It�s my pleasure. This service is rarely used and is faster then email. Odd nobody uses it. Any recommendations you can give would be great. No problem using this FAQ to pose ideas as this resolution will be cleaned up later. Additional Information: It might be that people do not realize you can communicate through the sight like this because they are so used to e-mail and texting. You may want to explain this feature in the customer service section. I ran the program this morning and it did not take long before the motors stopped. While operating the voltages for all three motors was 46 volts, when the motors stalled (and again there was a high pitch hum) the voltage went up to 60 volts and the fan on the power supply was operating. Additional Information: So, the driver work individually, but not all together. There is a high pitch sound when the motors fail. You have noted 60 volts from the power supply and the supply fan remains on. This is a difficult issue to resolve, but it seems to me that your power supply may be bad. The 60v measurement tells me that the current dropped and ohms law tells us that is current drops, volts will rise if the resistance stays the same. Additional Information: As one last test I am going to test each driver again and let them go through the entire program because it seems that the failure can occur at the beginning or towards the end of the program. When I originally tested ach driver I let them run for about a half an hour and the program takes over an hour to run completely. I just want to make sure that it is not the drivers. I will report back when I finished but as you noted it may be the power supply but I want to make sure. Additional Information: That�s a great idea. Additional Information: I just ran the x-axis through the whole program and there was no problem especially since I have two NEMA 23 motors moving that axis. Before I check the Y and Z could having a NEMA 34 on the Z axis with appropriate controller be a problem. I used the larger motor on the z axis because the router I am using is a large 1 1/2 hp. I've run this program in the past with this set-up and have not had a problem. Additional Information: Having a, say 3.0 amp driver, driving a stepper motor that typically requires a 6 amp driver would not seem to be an issue since the driver is limiting the current draw, but the driver may not be able to handle larger coil and back EMF with the protection on the 3.0 amp driver. With that said, I don�t believe that is the issue in this case. Additional Information: I don't either because I was able to run this and other complicated programs with this set-up in the past. I will let you know on the y and z axis. Additional Information: Thanks Additional Information: I ran the Y axis and z axis separately through the entire program and there was no stopping or problem. I guess the culprit is the power supply and I'll order a new one and hope that resolves the problem. Additional Information: Yes, that is the most probable cause. Please keep me informed. Thanks! Additional Information: Received and installed the new power supply. I ran the program with the router on and it worked flawlessly. The program runs for an hour and a half and I did not have a single problem. I guess it was the power supply but I was glad to go through all the diagnostics we discussed before replacing it. I hope this power supply lasts a lot longer than the last one. Thanks much for hanging in there with me and coming up with the solution. Additional Information: It�s my absolute pleasure and I am so happy to hear that the power supply replacement solved the problem. Additional Information: Additional Information: Y axis stop working X & Z work fine Y axis has two motors have check wiring & connections new breakout board still the same port & Pin set OK dont no were to go next David Additional Information: Additional Information: my cnc plasma cutter will run out the program when cutting. what is the cause? Additional Information: The cnc plasma question shod be a separate question. Can you pise that question by clicking the customer service live menu button at the top? Thanks.

what are the specs of the blacktooth laser cutter (dimensions and weight) when assembled?

The blackTooth envelope dimensions and weight: - Length and width: 37" x 34" - The height: 11.25" - The weight: 70 lbs.

Step 34 - Software Toolchain Part 1 - Mach 3 Installation Video is missing. Do you have? Am trying to install Mach3, need someone to hold my hand a bit here :-)

That video was hosted by Metacafe and I just went to the permalink for the video, but no video. Metacafe failed me on this one. I will look for my raw video (which will take a bit of time) and re-post it to youtube. If there are specific questions; please post them here and I will help you along the way. As these questions are asked and answered, they help others as well in the future.

replacing all electronic on a small cnc would like to use the redleaf hd +4 nema 34 motors does mach 3 included already installed

Yes, the redLeaf is integrated into the redLeaf, all wired and configured. It is a plug and play system.

just placed an order for 2 nema 34 and 1 24 stepper motors i meant to have be 1, 34 and 2, 24 stepper motors. I need to change that before shipping

We will make sure that order is changed prior to shipping. Additional Information: Additional Information: Additional Information:

I purchased hardware for my plasma table which included 3 nema 34 stepper motors and drivers, power supply,Blue brew BOB, and Mach 4 Control software with parallel port plug-in. In configuring the Mach 4 software it asks for a motion controler. Do I need another device such as a smoothstepper motion controler?

No, you do not need another motion controller if you have the parallel breakout board and you are using the "Legacy Parallel Port Plug-In" with Mach4. The motion controller is the parallel port.

I ordered some hiwin cut to size, I ordered two 17in pieces and received a 34in instead. what can we do about this, am I SOL?

If you ordered lengths of rail that is not to your specifications, please give us a call and we will replace your order immediately.

I have two nema 34 motors on my gantry and ordered a hex inverter, now I need to wire it correctly. What type of wiring hardware do I need and I will need a wiring diagram also. Please help.

Have you considered reversing the A and B coils on one of the motors to the drivers? This will cause the motor to spin in the opposite direction. This is the easiest method. Using the HEX inverter is a more complex method and not recommended for simple driving tasks.

I have Nema 34 motors but I need the electrical components do you have a kit without motors included?

If you are looking for the drivers to pair with NEMA 34 stepper motors, you can find the 6.0 amp drivers here: https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-stepper-driver-6!0a The other electronics to send the signals to the 6.0 amp drivers (the control board that operates with the control software) is subject to personal preference, but here they are listed: Our breakout board (works with Mach3 and LinuxCNC and requires a parallel port on your computer): https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-parallel-breakout-relay The PoKeys57CNC (works with Mach3 and Mach4): https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-breakout-Mach4-mach3-USB-ethernet-Board Generic USB breakout board (works with Mach3): https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-breakout-Mach3-USB-Board Additional Information: Do I need a driver for every motor or can I use one driver for all four motors Additional Information: Each motor needs its own driver.

I have an engine NEMA 34 from Y axis on my green bull that do not response, I already check connections and everything seems to be OK, how can I check that the motor it's working properly or not?

If one or more motor is not responding, please follow the troubleshooting directions below: For parallel Bob only! Make sure both the parallel and USB are connected. Re-check wiring, and connections for continuity (no breaks in the wires) and check for correct wiring locations from driver to BoB. Check dip switch settings on the driver. Check components, by swapping the motors (ex. y-axis motor to z or x-axis driver and z or x-axis motor to y-axis driver) to check if motor functions on another driver. Depending on software check step low active (mach 3) or invert pulse (planet-cnc) for the axis which is not responding. Mach 3 - config/port & pins/motor outputs / Planet-CNC - file/settings/axes

I have a Nema 34 motor (Z axis) it was working perfect but suddenly changes direction when jogging, I already try changing another motor to Z axis but problem persist in spite of following all suggestions, what can I do?

If the z-axis motor changes directions when jogging, and continues even when replacing the motor! It seems as it is either a wiring problem or the driver? I would recommend changing the z-axis driver and check the wiring going form the driver to the breakout board. If problem continues please contact us at customerservice@buildyourcnc.com Additional Information: z axis soft limit at 7line Additional Information: z axis soft limit at 7line Additional Information: z axis soft limit at 7 line Additional Information: z axis soft limit at 7 line

How do I put two motors on the same axis

Yes, you can use 2 motors in the same axis output, however you will still need a driver for that stepper motor. Also depending on the orientation on which you mount the motor you might have to invert the direction of the motor, and that will be simple by swapping the A+,A-, to the B+,B- locations and vice versa, from the driver to the motor wiring. The wiring scheme would look like this: The step and direction output terminals on the CNC controller interface for the axis you want to have two motors would connect to both drivers of the two stepper motors on that axis. Additional Information: I have been running two motors from the same driver for 10 years on my 3m x 1.6m router. Both motors driving the gantry are wired together. I see no reason to use two drivers. The motors are high torque Nema 34. I've had no issues. Additional Information:

Do you ship to Mexico? I need a Driver for Nema 34

Yes, we do ship to Mexico. In the cart, just select the shipping option and it will give you the shipping prices for USPS, FedEX and UPS.

Do you offer single shaft NEMA 34 steppers in your cnc kits?

Our NEMA 34 motors have a dual shaft, meaning, there is a shaft that extends from the front and rear. Our machines use this dual shaft motor in our machines. Currently we do not sell/carry any of these motors with one-input shaft.

CNC Wood Lathe project - Would like to have the guts to a 2 axis DIY lathe. Can you let me know of a possible one stop shop solution? Would like it to be at least 40" on the X axis.

There are many possible options for making a lathe. Typically, a lathe is run by a spindle at the head stock (which you can find here https://buildyourcnc.com/SpindlesAndAccessories.aspx) which will rotate the object rather than a fourth axis, however you will need to create or buy the clamp mechanism of a regular lathe to hold the object in place. You will be able to control the on/off either manually or via software, but the speed (RPM) will have to be controlled manually. You can create a more indexed alternative to a lathe by using our rotary axis at the head stock (found here https://buildyourcnc.com/item/axes-4th). either way, the tail stock center can be found here https://buildyourcnc.com/item/axes-4th. This will give you full control of the turning via software. You will want to use linear rails and their associated bearing blocks (found here https://buildyourcnc.com/item/mechanical-rails-HIWIN-Linear-20mm and herehttps://buildyourcnc.com/item/mechanical-rails-linear-guide-rails-20mm) to run along the length of the item being turned and you will need linear rails to be run perpendicular (towards and away) to the object being turned that would hold either the blade (for a traditional lathe) or a spindle (for the indexed version containing the rotary axis). Where you have linear rail, you will also need lead screw (found here https://buildyourcnc.com/item/mechanical-leadscrews-lead-screw-!5-5-starts-10-tpi) to transmit motion using motors (and drivers) of your choice also with various options (found here https://buildyourcnc.com/category/nema and here https://buildyourcnc.com/category/driver). You will need 2 - Drivers (either 3.0A or 6.0A, the 6.0A driver will be for our larger motors hence you will have more torque available) and 2 - Motor's (either our Nema 24's or Nema 34's, the Nema 24 will work with our 3.0A driver while the Nema 34 will work the 6.0A) To control these motors, you will need a parallel breakout board and Mach 3 software to control the two axes (or three with the rotary axis) found here https://buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-parallel-breakout-relay and https://buildyourcnc.com/item/control-SOFTWARE-mach3. You will need couplings to couple the lead screws to the motor shafts (found here https://buildyourcnc.com/couplings.aspx). All of the miscellaneous hardware you need can also be found here https://buildyourcnc.com/Hardware.aspx.

Can you offer me a combo with motors NEMA17, NEMA23 and NEMA34 and a control box ready for plug and play operation? (this including motor drivers and cables)

We have a redLeaf and redSprout system available which has all of the CNC electronics and computer system assembled as a plug and play system.

Can this driver accept 5 lead Nema 34 steppers: Stepping Motor Driver (24-70 volts DC, up to 6.0 amps, microstepping from 1/2 to 1/256)

Please measure the resistance between all the wires in all combinations to determine where these wires exists with the coils. I am not familiar with 5 wire stepper motors.
