Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I am interested in some schematics for the leadshine etherCAT system, servo motor set-up for use on my acorn cnc conversion, is there any schematics, or interest in making one. Would like to try this system, seems like a nice set up, from Automation technologies

Does anyone know at witch revision acorn stopped using dxf inport ability? We are at 4.5, i'll just downgrade from the current version

thank you tblough , parameter 130 needed to be set to 493, now the linear encoder works when in 2 axis. thank you

Awesome description,thank you very much,it does help,I appreciate the response, it makes sense know,thought I was going crazy looking for a code,or program that I couldn't locate,again, thank you

Elrod machine put a YouTube. Video out about using a knee mill and intercon one shot keys in 2 axis mode,video was from 2011, I may have the wrong system,acorn, not oak etc .

St, rd 45 mill,3 axis acorn conversion, standard motor drive, linear encoder, connected to z axis quill. Need to power tap holes, no inverter on motor, stock drive,i.e. through gearbox. Will need to get pics.

Thank you, will give the encoder a try

Am running acorn cnc,do I need to pair my z to an encoder for this to work,look through manual,couldn't find any information, unless I missed it

Have 2 axis enabled, won't let me run program, says z not set,how to use centroid on step, to enable drilling,and hard tapping from the quill
