Re: AcornSIX, homing with switch + Encoder Z pulse

This is great guys!

I'm planning to retrofit an older VMC mill, and this is one of the original controller features I'd like to keep.

VCP on separate monitor?

Hi!

Is it possible to have UI and the VCP on 2 different monitors?

Using a smaller 10" widescreen for the VCP along with a 21" for the UI?

Re: Retrofit options, 1991 Fanuc 0-M.

Hi! Have now got a quote from DMM on the servos, looks very tempting. To be honest, the Centroid ac/dc drivers are too pricey to consider for me. I've digged through the manual, and the original spindle drive should be fairly ok to implement as far as I understand. The next consern is the ATC umbrel...

Re: Retrofit options, 1991 Fanuc 0-M.

I think I have the original ladder diagram in one of the documents that came with the mill.

Retrofit options, 1991 Fanuc 0-M.

Hi! I have a 1991 Dah Lih MCV-610 (16 tools ATC turret), with Fanuc 0-M controller. I would like to modernize it a bit, and found Centroid very interesting. But to be honest, the Fanuc retrofit package solution is just too expensive, 3x the price of the mill. Anyone done something similar, with a lo...
