4th axis progress

1. The Troyke rotary table is mounted on the table2. It is connected to the mill via flexible watertight conduit3. Inside the conduit, there is a proper cable with six shieldedpairs for signals, plus two power conductors.4. I set up the servo amplifier to work in torque mode, full torque5. The servo amp is connected to PPMC and EMC6. The amp gets power7. When commanded by EMC2, the amp sets a given torque (in other words,maintains given current). 8. The table spins per torque given. Not very fast as they go, butacceptable. I would say 10 RPM just to make a guess. What remains to be done is 1) wire the resolver to the resolver converter, and resolver converterto PPMC. I hope to avoid surprises. 2) Add a bunch of statements to EMC2 config to reflect the nature of the 4thaxis.3) Add a home switch to the rotary table.I could not accomplish task 1, because I ordered small bulletconnectors and they still have not arrived (&^%!). I want theconnection to be disconnectable.i

A Black Box FT012 crimper I found on eBay will crimp 3 sizes of flagged-type terminals in wire gages 28-24, 24-20 and 18-16.

The FT012 tool works very nicely with the sub-D terminals and small Molex terminals for 18-16 ga.

Don, this stuff seems to work VERY well. Thank you for your suggestions.
