I have a Chinese 2018 6090 CNC Router that I converted to a Centroid Acorn and Technic Hybrid Servos 2.2KW spindle. Comes with Centroid Pendant, and remote Z setter and Nuke type PC. The X and Z axis rails and bearings need to be replaced. They are not worn - I took them apart and didn't know what I...

Re: Acorn controller card question

I have an Acorn controller on a Router with Yaskawa Servopack SGDM-10ADA-V and SGMGH-09ACA61 Servo Motors I've never experienced lost steps. But I have lost communications with the Acorn during a run before, I simply re-homed and continued the job. I too considered going with an Oak board, but ultim...

Re: Is it possible to invert the output (4) on the DB-25?

As you're aware of I have a dual headed router that I retrofitted with acorn and I have since picked up a nice drill block that I would like to replace one of the spindles with. This will take probably 10 outputs plus some custom PLC program that is way beyond my brain power! Were you able to get t...

Re: Router between Acorn and PC (Resolved)

I have an all-in-one PC with WiFi for Network traffic and wired to the Acorn. I also use the file sharing service called Dropbox. It creates local folders on any PC that has it installed. I create g-code on my laptop and save it to a shared Centroid folder in dropbox. It automagically sync's to the ...

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 4)

Hope I didn't waste too much of your time on it. Not at all, once I wrapped my head around what all could be done with multiple WCS systems I found all kinds of uses. Generally, I use G54 for the top of my spoilboard and G55 for the top of the part, unless I can have a production run like the one b...

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 4)

I opened the file and it has WCS = 10, Change it to WCS = 1 and it will output G54
