Marc...... You are the man! Yes they use the three tapped holes in the face. I am compiling a centroid order list right now. I do need to order a few things from mouser or digikey also. What is everyone using for terminal junction blocks inside the cabinet? I was also thinking of buying a ferrule an...

Marc was spot on once again. I took the servo cap off today and these encoders have shafts not thru-holes. 20210723_121212.jpg 20210723_121250.jpg They seem to measure 6mm on the shaft size.

I can read schematics, hell I have even printed circuit boards for past projects. I know those DC motors have old encoders and tach's. The centroid kit I was lo...

We have acquired a Milltronics MB24 with a haas rotary that I am in the process of fixturing up to do engine block work. The control on this machine is an antique. Even with the upgrade that the past owner did t...
