Re: Acorn and Emcoturn 120 with 8-tools-turret

Sure!

I used the s15006.r1 diagram with only one output für driving the turret.
ACORN_rev4, 4 BIT GRAY CODE TURRET LATHE, SINGLE TURRET OUTPUT, STANDARD CONNECTIONS


But what db9-connector? The turret connects the the inputs on H4, and the relay to the outputs on the relay-board?

This is what I wanted to do, but I couldn't figure out where to change the plc this way?
Any hints to point me into the right direction? :oops:

Change standard-spindel-direction when in manual mode?

Hello, i am using a lathe with turret behind the part. So most of the turning happens in CCW-direction (M4). And i often need to let the spindle turn slowly manually, e.g. for scratching or slightly chamfering or else. So i hit the Spin Auto/Man-button on the WMPG and then the Spin On/Off-button. Bu...

Kachel von links oberhalb des Textfensters klicken, dann wird das in ein Codefenster gesteckt, was sich extra scrollen und dadurch das Pos...

Re: Acorn and Emcoturn 120 with 8-tools-turret

Hey guys, with finishing the peripheral things of the Emco now step by step (keyboard-holder, All-in-one-PC-stand, mounting the emergency-stop at the right spot, cleaning up the control-cabin, replacing all of the air-wires and so on) the excuses for still not writing the concluding success-story ar...

Re: Importing DXF files

Just stumbled over this issue now, too. Here Marty said it may have been added to the "to-do"-list: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=56307#p56307 Is this correct? Will there be an DXF-import for Lathe-users in the future? Until then and/or if not: Does anyone know a fast and ea...

Re: XY Jogging now available. Test it out... V4.80 Release Candidate Now available.

by "hot keys" are you referring to keyboard jogging? or the VCP? Sorry, I am talking about all existing keyboard-shortcuts. The ones of the jog-panel can be displayed, but all the others like described in the manual starting at page 25. Alt-I, CTRL-E, Alt-J itself and so on. I want to mak...

Re: XY Jogging now available. Test it out... V4.80 Release Candidate Now available.

Hey Keith, i hope this is the right thread for this... Will there be an updated manual soon, too? Or can you tell me if any of the Hotkeys have changed or are there new ones since the last manual for CNC12_Lathe_4.20? I am asking because i want to make me a laminated cheatsheet for getting better us...
