Too expensive for hobby, since you also need a shrinkstation.

But there are cheap DIY ways, like shrinking a ring on the tools, or use an internal stop in the spindle...

Acorn works only with Centroid WMPG, and this one is much better than the cheap stuff. It runs with special firmware and receiver for a fast and reliable connection.

PRO ist limited to 2500 points digitizing, Ultimate not.

I would go another way, since I am too lazy to measure each tool change

Use ER16 shrink fit collets, perfect same tool length after a change

hi, i am really new to intercon and i am wondering how can i use pecking for outer contour ? Thanks Michael No function other than cut off cycle for this in Intercon. For OD turning, hand code, or write a function with a sub program. The easiest way is to use AW2007 or AW2011 instead of 6082 :lol: ...

Sometimes pecking is the best solution for chip control, on large lathes also.

Uwe

From C-100 to C-200 is one direction, from C-200 to C-100 the other direction

The direction is determined by increasing or decreasing the C-axis value, no matter if the code starts at C0 or C-75

Gary also builds to order and he has lots of experience with shopbot.

For a perfect running system with minimum downtime maybe the best choice.

If I'm using Fusion for a Tool Library AND to process the G-code should the tool library in Centroid be populated? Wouldn't this create a conflict? You have to setup tools in CNC 12 like in fusion by hand. With the next upcoming ProbeApp from swissi you can import fusion tool libs in CNC12. Uwe So,...
