Keith: did something change in the rigid tapping cycle? It used to be, the cycle would wait for the index pulse, then begin feeding Z down in proportion to the A/B counts. Once it had started feeding down, there used to be no dependence whatsoever on the index pulse. In the current software, what i...

yes, i second that use the Delta drive software to set parameters and tune the drive, its actually pretty good.

looks like you really should be using a Touch Plate not a TT for your work flow if you are just always resetting part Z zero with each tool. an TT is not necessary for this work flow.

TT = used for measuring tool heights

Touch Plate used for setting WCS (part zero positions)

Is there a full spec for the usable rotary encoders? I see NPN, PNP and "line drivers" The latter using 8 wires as I see on diagrams to wire the Acorn 9 pin plug. PFM Dave Acorn Encoder post. https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=921 https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/se...

Nothing on that datasheet shows Z being inverted. If Z is staying on, then it's a wiring error or bad encoder. The data sheet says Omron, but unless you paid $400 for it, chances are it's really chinese junk. Omron is counterfeited by almost everyone over there. The fact that it's staying on could ...

chuck, these units have zri can you add how to wire the index pulse so it can be used to set accurate home position?
