Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

As a operator prospective those information are Crucial and must on front page .
Hope centroid will put those on front

Hello Guys
In random tool change In centroid during running is there any parameter on screen that shows the Next tool NX.T ?
Like fanuc there is two variable
1) HD.T (Tool in spindle)
2) NX.T (Next tool is tool on the BIn)

Attached is the pic of fanuc show the two variable
Thanks

You Need
1)M400 control
2) All in1DC
3) PLCad1616
4) encoder qty 3
5) ATC software.
6) DC supply Bridge
Yes I did ATC and still running now from last 13years or so .

Loren I retrofit Matsura500 The motor is DC with Max voltage is 70VDC. You can use the existing Motor but keep in mind max voltage could not go beyond 70 also you need to install the new encoder on it . My motor has 12V single ended encoders . Orientation is Mechanical. U can use the varispeed inver...

My experience with mitsubishi and Delta vfd VE or C2000 of rigid tapping is so so . I really enjoy rigid tapping with fanuc analog type Spindle drive and Mitsubishi FR spindle drive . Those drive are really low declaration and acceleration time, also torque is good . Never face problem of synchroniz...

Can you double check your DB9 encoder cabels I think your 5V supply or ground did not go to the enocder .
All three axis has same problem very wired
Mistake in the encoder cabel please double check it

John For differential error check following 1)your Motors took unusual high current or unusual load on any axis ? 2)only one axis give error or all axis ? 3) Normally Z-axis on load and need to check writing route and shielding 4)if you use vfd and not properly ground spindle motor with VFD with pro...

Hello
U use Centroid M400Pc or M39 ?
For five axis move u need a good higher PC requirements.
For my experience I use 0.01mm~ 0.005mm tolerance for smoother motion .

One thing more for low tolerance means bigger file size
Which software u use for 5axis ?

For Cincinnati Milicron best option is go for oak+new yaskawa or Delta . We did some Cincinnati lathe and mill trust me those m.c mechanical is for ever robust and heavy . The Cincinnati lathe i did have huge 7 position turret 9.jpg Worth while to invest .I don't think it's a good idea to go for SD3

For changing the home direction u need to edit cncm.hom file
M92/X Move to X+ve limit switch while
M91/X Move to X-ve limit switch

M26/X zero home position.
You can change the direction by M92/X

By default x-axis home is in -ve direction (M91/X)
