Allin1DC project overview

Marty gives us an overview of the Allin1DC CNC retrofit project machine

Building a computer for CNC use

Marty shows us how he built a PC for CNCPC duty that meets the Centroid Minimum PC performance requirements. A step by step video showing the CNCPC build

DC Servo Motor encoder upgrade

Marty shows us how he upgraded the servo motor encoders on the existing DC servo motors that came with the machine for better performance

Bench Testing the Allin1DC CNC Controller

Marty shows us how to follow the Allin1DC installation manual and bench test the Allin1DC before installing in the electrical cabinet

Preparing the Machine tool and electrical cabinet

Marty shows us how he has prepared his machine for the Allin1DC installation. Limit Swtiches.

Electrical Backpanel Install: Part 1

Marty shows us how he installed the electrical cabinet back panel

Allin1DC CNC electrical system schematic explained

Before starting wiring Marty explains how to use the Centroid Allin1DC CNC system schematic

Wiring subsystems, Intro and Tools: Part 1

Marty explains rotary on off switch, estop contactor, dc power, logic power, output relay use, useful tools to have for this project

Electrical Backpanel Install: Part 2

Marty shows us how he installed the electrical cabinet back panel

Electrical Backpanel Install: Part 3, Sinking and Sourcing

Marty shows us what Sinking and Sourcing is all about

Electrical Backpanel Install: Part 4, E-Stop Circuits

Marty shows us how to wire up the Estop circuits

Electrical Backpanel install: Part 5, Wiring the VFD Circuits

Marty shows us how to wire up the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) circuits

Marty shows us how to wire up the Flood, Mist, and Limit Switch circuits

CNC Software Initial Configuration: PID, Estop, Limit and Encoder testing

Marty shows us how to setuip the Centroid CNC control initial configuration for PID, Estop, Limits and Encoder testing

Servo Motor Runaway Explanation

Marty explains why a DC servo motor will run away if it is wired wrong

Servo Motor preliminary testing and belting to the machine

Marty shows how to test and belt up the servo motors to the machine

Axis direction explained

Marty shows us the proper setup of Axis direction movement

Properly reversing servo motor direction explained

Marty shows us the properly swap axis movement direction

Setting up Home Switches and Homing the machine off switches

Marty shows us how to setup home switches and get the machine homing off the swtiches

How to determine accurate Overall Turns per inch (Fine DRO Adjustment)

Marty shows us how to set up the overall turns ratio accuracy (how many turns of the motor yeilds one inch of table travel) of the machine using precision guage blocks

Setting Up Software Travel Limits

Marty shows us how to set up the software travel limits

Parking and Shutting down the CNC control and machine

Marty shows us how to use the shut down features of the Centroid CNC control

Centroid CNC Systems Test

Marty shows us how to run through the CNC Systems Test to make sure the machine is ready to make parts

Allin1DC CNC control retrofit upgrade project wrap up video

Marty gives us a wrap up history and overview of his Allin1DC CNC control retrofit upgrade project

Cutting first Job with the Allin1DC retrofitted machine

Marty shows us how he uses the newly updated allin1dc cnc knee mill to modify motor mounts for his next retrofit!

CNC Mill Training Video

This is a older CNC mill operator training video. While it may be old, most all of the video still applies to today's CNC controls. So forgive the references to "floppy drive" and learn from the rest.

CNC Mill Training Video: Knee Mill Tool Height Setup

This is an older training video, but setting up Tool Heights on a knee mill hasn't change. Setting Tool Height Offsets with a reference Tool explained.
