Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Thank you for the advice. Actually, I'm at the point where I'm about to install the terminal blocks. I plan on installing a bank of blocks on both side walls of the cabinet. My source for 120V is on the left hand side. It is Centroid PN 4953. I think it should be capable enough but I will double ...

Hello all!
I finally have some time to start a build thread for my Bridgeport Torq-Cut 30. I started this Centroid retrofit about 8 months ago and I think I'm at the point that I need some help/recommendations; so it's time to start a build thread. Searching these community boards has been a ...

Typically encoders will not output over 1MHz. Often they are 300kHz to 500kHz maximum.
Scales or encoders that are high resolution and high speed will typically use a serial protocol rather than A/B quadrature.

Great to hear. Thanks for the update.

I would like to see visuals with component placements.

The Leadshine manual that Centroid links to, and the manual that Leadshine has is not current. If you dig into the Leadshine website they have updated specs.

Well... after a little more research, I believe I found my answers. It looks like the EL7-EC1500F now comes in both single and 3 phase 220V.
