Re: m code for the spindle brake and release?
Try M94/M95
They are supposed to turn on and off outputs.
Depends on which output you have the brake assigned to.
Let us know how it goes

I didn't realize it was optional code.

Let us know if it works. I have not tested it myself.frijoli wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 4:55 pmThanks Marty!martyscncgarage wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 4:37 pmTry M94/M95

I would have the the spindle brake turns off and on with M3 and M5

I'm still working on the post processor and wiring for bench testing! lol

Re: m code for the spindle brake and release?
The brake you talk about is on the head to slow down the spindle?
I will be doing a bridgeport clone a Millport Knee mill. It has the air control for the brake on the spindle. I am just going to remove it and install an external brake from on the VFD and make it simple.

Re: m code for the spindle brake and release?
To be clear. I am not using a brake. I am working on a post processor for Fusion 360 and needed to know what the code was.lilb93 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 6:17 pm The brake you talk about is on the head to slow down the spindle?

I have only seen a brake on a CNC used to hold the spindle AFTER it has stopped.

Re: m code for the spindle brake and release?
Correct, spindle brake locks the spindle motor when not in operation. It is energized to unlock it when in operation.frijoli wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 7:33 pmTo be clear. I am not using a brake.

When a spindle has a brake, you do need a manual method to unlock it to sweep a part. So an Auxillary button would be handy to lock and unlock it.
Toggling the output on and off.

Re: m code for the spindle brake and release?
Just wanted to make this clear that the standard Centroid control does not have a custom M code that deals with releasing the brake. If you select the SpindleBrakeRelease as an output in the Wizard, the standard PLC program will turn that output on and off based on when the SpindleEnableOut is turning on and off. You can also manually turn that output on and off by pressing the Aux7 button. So, as far as the post processor, all you should have to do is turn the spindle on with either an M3 or an M4 and the Centroid control will automatically engage or disengage the spindle brake.
If you wanted to, you can create a custom M code to turn that on and off but because the standard PLC program has that logic built into it, it wouldn't make sense.
