Re: Lathe spindle direction

I've still not got to the bottom of why my spindle is showing a plus sign in front of the rpm number, even when it's in reverse.
Any idea's?

Lathe spindle direction

On my mill when the spindle is in reverse, it shows a minus sign in front of the rpm when in reverse and a plus for forward but on my lathe, i've just noticed it is a plus sign for both directions. Is this correct?

Re: Rigid tapping with intercon

Well i have not delved into servo settings before as always used steppers. I have screenshot the setup params screen but really stumped on how to set or read what the steps per rev are? Anybody help? I know from using and setting up acorn that they are currently set at 1000 or close to this.

Re: Rigid tapping with intercon

I'll have to research how to change the steps per rev on the omron servos

Re: Rigid tapping with intercon

Thanks guys, Keith, if I change the steps per rev it throws the axis movement out and makes it move further?

Rigid tapping with intercon

I'm just starting to play with rigid tapping on my mill. Although not got very far before getting stumped. When i'm programming in intercon, where you enter the spindle speed and direction are in brackets and won't let me enter any values, anyone any ideas why please?
