Bridgeport Series 2 Interact II - Spindle Override Dial
Posted: Wed May 24, 2017 5:59 pm
Hi,
I'm finally getting my Bridgeport Series 2 Interact II together and converted over to CNC11 - have to admit doing this puts me in my happy place. I'm planning on keeping inline with the Interact philosophy. Thus keeping the X/Y/Z jog joysticks and rapid buttons, but will dump the OEM MPG for the Ajax MPG. Configuration includes: GS2 VFD, brake resistor, etc.; Spindle Encoder(spindle is 1:1 with 2 V-Belts); AirBrake kept
For the Head buttons - thinking to have:
Spindle Off
Spindle On
Brake Auto/Off
Spindle Override (Dial)
E-Stop
I figure I'll need a PLCADD1616 to support the Joysticks, but not quite sure how to tackle the Spindle Override dial. As well once the controls are finalized I'll need someone to pick up the PLC programming.
Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks.
