Re: ATC with Roller Pin Spindle Orientation
Yes please. A report with the M6 & M19 macros for an air actuated shot pin orient would be super helpful. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing right now.

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
Thats great information, I'm going to pass on the C86 and wire straight to Acornsix. Thank you so much!

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
I see. I'm fine with terminating flying leads to the acorn as I've made my own cables. Is the Molex connectors the main advantage of the board? Could all the HLFB's be tied to one input without the C86?

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
Does anyone have any experience with the C86ACCP6 connecting Hybrid steppers? It seems like it would work as the Steppers have the same inputs as the clearpaths,8 connections in all: Step+/-, Dir+/-, Enable+/-, Alarm+/- Or is an additional board no longer needed to handle the HLFB from Clearpath wit...

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
First of all, my apologies for not seeing your reply, I was checking the wrong place. Thank you for such a prompt reply. I'm sorry, I meant the C86ACCP6, the new one designed for the Acornsix. https://cnc4pc.com/c86accp-clearpath-board-for-acornsix-6-axis.html As far as the motors, the one for the t...

Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
I'm upgrading from Mach3 to Acornsix. I have 3 Clearpath SDSK motors that drive the XYZ axis on my mill. I'm planning to add an umbrella style tool changer and 4th & 5th axis soon. I can't afford to buy 3 more Clearpaths to drive the tool changer carousel and 4th and 5th axis and so I am hoping ...

Re: Wireless WMPG-4
Gixer, do the axes move using the handwheel, if you switch the increment selector to the x1 (lowest) position? I just got the acornsix and my WMPG-4 is doing just what was asked about above. The WMPG-4 will do everything like it should except when it comes time to use the handwheel to jog the axis ...

Re: 8000 RPM Spindle Encoder
Funny you should suggest that. I was planning on doing just that but after doing some reading here on the forum it seemed like that could cause issues because the spindle wouldn't be able to differentiate between 0 and 180, seeing as how there's only one zero mark on the encoder ring but the spindle...

8000 RPM Spindle Encoder
Howdy all. I'm getting excited about the acornsix! Trying to get all my ducks in a row before making all my purchases. I'm looking for a spindle encoder that works with acornsix that's capable of 8000 rpms... that won't break the bank. Seems like 6000 rpm encoders are plentiful but above that they s...
