Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

i have tried my original centroid acorn post processor with feed it allows simply make sheet cam layer add feed rate to whatever you put in .

so say your main tool is set to 100 ipm then your layer selection for a hole you put in 30 ipm

then do another layer for a line cut you put in say 50 ipm ...

this is not the way feed rates get applied to the code . you made the post to reduce feed rate using path rules
normally you select your tool say that tool is set 100 ipm . then you set a layer for that tool your feed rate is set in the layer

each layer allows separate feed rate settings right on ...

i downloaded centroid plasma post. can't seem to get it to post feed rates for different layer cuts like holes

when i post the file just shows feed rate no speed. did something change or is there some special tool setting needed in sheet cam
sheet cam is fine i use it with other controllers it ...

i watched few videos you posted your cutting in wrong direction in sheet cam check the box reverse box inside holes ccw some your pierce delays seam fast

what i cant tell is there motor reduction on Y axis
what size motor your running .
i Gona guess they 600 oz 34 4 wire motors they going to ...

i just read this whole post first thing i see were the power supply for 34 steppers
if it the blue one in middle that not going to work 4 34 steppers you Gona need 20 amp supply .
you can use switcher or Troidl from automation technology website you need at least 48 volt steppers do not need ...

I'm going to start new VFD question
this seams a centroid gray area of information

using vfd with a spindle motor not a servo motor .
i understand the VFD required needs to have an encoder input .

then if i need spindle orientation . how exactly does that work ?
it my understanding the hickory ...

the haas needs spindle orientation
Marty tells me the drive needs to have encoder input card. then the encoder card output goes to the centroid hickory And the drives needs to have spindle ordination . output

Theis seams backwards why does the hickory not have software to orient the spindle using ...

i got drive information from automation direct asking about spindle orientation and encoder input out puts
there response was below will this work ok with hickory doing a haas mini mill retro

The GS23-2020 is a vfd capable of multiple control modes including IMVF (V/F control) IMVFPG (V/F control ...

i got an update on this from lead shine the motor has a 22 mm shaft not 19 mm

the link you gave me is for the the H D motor drawing showes it has a 19 mm shaft

the link for the model you have listed is not the same on lead shine website when i look at the drawing it shows 22 mm shaft

so what size are the shafts on ones centroid sells the pdf for the model i have attached ...
