Re: Hardinge CHNC4 Retrofit

Encoder feedback is on the PID screen - F1 Setup/F3 Config/F4 PID Abs Pos will show the encoder counts and the DQOA column will show any encoder error conditions.

Re: New Build: Another Techno Lathe

I suspect that your problems are caused by the 50" per revolution roughing feedrate. You will also run into problems with the 10" per rev finish feedrate. You didn't attach a report but I suspect movement initally stopped because your drive faulted. When reset the control, you didn't re-ho...

Re: Occasional manual override of lube

The machines in my lab are used much the same way. I modified the PLC lube task to fire when the machine was first turned on and then based on the interval set by the lube parameter regardless of run time. The lube task is only paused when e-stop is engaged. This way I don't have to worry about user...

Re: New Build King Rich KRV-3000 Knee Mill with GSK AC Servos DA98B driver

Sorry, didn't mean to come across as condescending. My point was that everything connect to those relays/contactors was something that was automated by the previous control. If you can trace the wiring to see what those were hooked up to, you'll have a good idea if you want, or need, to control them...

Each one of those solenoids can potentially be controlled by Acorn. Figure out what each one does and then decide if you want Acorn to control it.

Re: Hardinge CHNC4 Retrofit

Did you order just an AllIn1DC or a kit? If you ordered the 14999 kit, you should have received an Ethernet cable, power supply, connector shells and contact pins.

Re: Trouble with lathe X axis + soft limit

X axis limits on a lathe are actual travel (radius) so your limit should be set to -2.5".

Re: Centroid Post-processor for FUSION 360

Based on the parens in the output, that does not look like Centroid code. Centroid expects a semicolon to denote a comment. Looks like you are selecting a Fanuc post.
