Should be plenty of choices but if you have a known accurate/reliable recommendation I welcome it. I prefer proximity sensors. I wou...

Custom ordered in 2021, this 12,000 rpm four pole spindle is designed for milling metal and plastics, it has a drawbar sensor and encoder added as options. Coupled with an 800 htz Hitachi VFD and controlled via sensorless vector control it has great low rpm performance. Unit has 100-120 hours on it,...

Far below what is required for Centroid. That direct drive alpha was so bad that SB traded them out for gearm...

New for 2024, a modular designed control box which virtually eliminates the need for user connections inside the control box. Originally designed as a Teknic ClearPath upgrade controller for AVID & ShopBot owners, the use of AVID and CNC Depot compatible modular conventions adds the flexibility ...
