Re: Spindle encoder error

In order to recreate the issues, I opened the wizard and enabled the spindle encoder and ridged tapping. I saved it and restarted CNC12. I ran a program and it didn't throw the error. However, I don't think it is really using the encoder because when I turn or run the spindle, the RPM display now st...

Spindle encoder error

I did a MillTurn upgrade in 2021 to the the Centroid package and it has worked great and been very reliable. I needed to make a quick part last night and the milling spindle has an encoder error. It has been over 2 years since I've had to be in the guts of it and I am old so really had to scratch my...

Custom relay output function

I would like to disable power to my power draw bar circuit if the spindle is spinning. I have spare relay board outputs. Anybody know of an easy way to do this? I assume it would be PLC modifications but haven't really been into that yet.

Thanks,

Re: Issue since 4.62 upgrade

Correct, the probe detect input enables the safety features.... You can leave a tool touch off probe mounted to your table and wired to the control. Marty, Why when I am using the probe to set Z0 does it need to detect the TT. And why when I am using the TT to measure a tool does it need to detect ...

Re: Issue since 4.62 upgrade

Sorry I have made this thread so confusing. I am learning as I go. And, since this forum doesn't allow you to edit your previous post,.... I checked out my tool measuring process. This is what works. - Use the TT and the shoulder of the spindle to set the Offset ZReff - Measure the tool with the TT...
