It's been a long while getting to this point, but I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is a 1982 Hardinge TFB that had been involved in an abusive relationship. I rescued it at an auction, completely disassambled, cleaned, painted, ground, scraped, and am finally re-assembling...

One wheel with a flange and one without. This reduces friction and belt wear.

It was around $650 for a 776-B-S-1024-R-HV-E-9D-A-Y-N

Encoder Products Company has big-bore encoders (up to 1.875") that work great on spindles. http://encoder.com/products/incremental ... model-776/

Scott, I have a lot of users that run into the same problem with the start button as you do. I've created a --NULL--.CNC file that does not contain anything. I ask that the users load that program when they are done running theirs. That way is someone is using the machine in manual mode and they ina...

Oak also has an analog input if you want to do a spindle load meter. MPU11/GPIO4D needs an expansion board.

Page 32 (DC wiring) in the RT-200 manual shows Encoder common (blk/red) connected to pin D of the Amphenol connector. The home switch green wire is also connected to pin D on the Amphenol connector. Is this correct?

Thanks, Scott. This will be a DC1 addition and I didn't know the DC1 could run at a different bus voltage. Everything else will be at 155V (rectified 115V) without a transformer. I'll probably change out the motor since I really don't want to add a transformer and the encoder is only 1000L so I'd ha...

I have a rotary table with and old DC brushed K&D MagMotor. I contacted the manufacturer and the only specs available are: Ke ~ 28.3 volts/1000 rpm Kt ~ 38.3 oz-in/amp Rt ~ 0.90 ohms Attached is a photo of the motor nameplate. I was hoping this would work with my ALLIN1DC control. Liviu or Keith...

Rick,

Since it's steel, just write on it with a Sharpie and then wipe it off with a little acetone and write your next message.
