Section 7: Motor and Sensor Connections¶

7.1 Motor and Sensor Locations¶

7.1.1¶

7.1.2¶

7.1.3¶

7.2 Servo Power Hub¶

Parts and Tools Required¶

7.2.1¶

• Install the Servo Power Hub on the back of the gantry at the end closest to your table cable track.

7.2.2¶

• The Servo Power Hub should be oriented with the RD-24 panel mount facing the table cable track.

7.3 Cable Routing¶

7.3.1¶

• To route cables through the cable track, use a screwdriver to lift open the individual cable track sections as indicated.

7.3.2¶

7.3.3¶

• Attach a Motor Cable Adapter to the end of each motor control cable (8 pin cables).
• Connect each motor cable to their respective motor.
• Route the indicated motor cables as shown. The remaining two motor cables can be routed directly to your control box without going through cable track.

7.3.4¶

7.3.5¶

• Route each motor power cable to its respective motor as indicated.
• Connect each motor power cable to the motor.
• Route the RD-24 cable as shown. The other end will go to the control box.

7.3.6¶

7.3.7¶

• Route the indicated sensor cables as shown (see table on next page). The remaining three sensor cables can be routed directly to your control box without going through cable track.

7.3.8¶

Router	Blue	Router Power Cable	Through table cable track and gantry cable track
Laser	Blue	See Instructions	Through table cable track and gantry cable track

7.4 Sensor, Bumper and Damper Installation¶

Parts and Tools Required¶

7.4.1¶

• Install bumpers in the bottom hole of the axis end plates at the non-motor end of the table and gantry axes.

7.4.2¶

• Install a Damper in the bottom hole of each motor mount plate for the two table axes (Y1, Y2) and the gantry axis (X).
• Adjust the Damper so that the face of its housing is distanced from the inside face of the motor mount plate according to the table.

7.4.3¶

• Install sensors into the remaining axis end plate holes as indicated at each sensor locationsensor location (see step 7.1.2).
• Adjust the jam nuts so that the face of the sensor is distanced from the inside face of the motor mount plate according to the table below.
• Note it is important that the axis moving plate stops against the damper before impacting the proximity sensor or the sensor may be damaged.
