Plasma Version of CNC12 Wish list

[legacytorch]

i heard good things about this unit, would like to test one!

I do have a scope too. What kind of parameters do you want the machine running during a measurement?

I would like to start a build on a plasma. I have built a cmc router and like the acorn board and CBC 12, but I would like to build a rotary axis. This would need 5 motors. I could wire both y axis together, but that changes design for me. Any chance of acorn coming out with 5 axis?

There is a 6 axis version in beta testing now. It will be considerably more expensive than the current Acorn.

Not sure why that would be a problem for your design, I have both Y axis Clearpath motors hardwired to a single output on the Acorn (I reversed one motor's rotation in the MSP software) and I still have an open axis for a rotary axis is I add one. Am I missing something?

Keith and others, What cable is needed to interface with the Hyperthem CPC and the Acorn THC setup?

How do we get on the ordering list for plasma?

That's the exact cable I have on my Hypertherm 85 plasma cutter. Works great.

Thank you sir for the confirmation. Ordered.

Perfect! Ordered my setup this AM (3/3/22) Keith. Ordered a new acorn too for that plasma setup so just assign the plasma pro license to the newest board. Thanks again.

Let me know if you want to sell me a 6 motor driver board to test that on vs a 4 axis.
