Routing the cables in the cable track
Start by routing and connecting the cables to the motors, both encoder and motor cable. Try to route the motor and encoder cables on the
opposite side from the possible plasma torch, work and electrode cables in the cable track. Mark the cable ends that go to the cnc so you
know into what servo amplifier you connect them inside the XT cnc.
Routing the cables into the XT CNC
Sort out your motor and encoder cable pairs so that it is easy to route them through the cable glands. The cable glands will house 2 cables each
so that every axis will go through their separate cable gland.
1. Remove the cable gland by holding the plastic nut in place while you unscrew the cable gland body.
2. Split the cable gland in half. Use a small flat head screw driver and gently pry the clips holding the 2 halves together.
3. Route your cable inside the XT CNC. Take a length of approximately 40cm [16in] of the cable inside the XT CNC.
4. Put the cables, encoder cable first, through the seal and nut (motor and encoder).
5. Twist both of the cables through their separate ferrite beads. Make sure the cable seal and the cable gland nut are left on the wall side
of the ferrite bead.
6. Remove the grounding clip using a screw driver.
7. Use the small plastic key to connect the motor cable wires to the amplifier. Make note that the wires go to the appropriate pins on the
connector (U,V,W).
