New build - Novakon Pulsar
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:40 pm
Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to put my Novakon Pulsar back together after a few years of moving locations. My stock unit came with steppers, but I'll be putting servos in as I put everything back together. This will be a long process as I don't have a huge amount of time to dedicate to the project.
At the moment, I'm looking for feedback on which Centroid controller will support all the devices on the mill. Could you guys provide some recommendations on which controller I'll need based on my setup? I'd like to support rigid tapping if possible.
Spindle:
Maxsine EP-1 driver with 1.2kW servo
X,Y,Z Axes:
Maxsine EP-1 driver with 1kW servos
4th Axis:
Leadshine MA860 driver with ~750W stepper
2x limit switches on all axes
Coolant
Probe
Tool setter
Power draw bar (air valve)
ATC (in progress: carousel type with stepper and air valve)
Thanks for the recommendations!
