Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

This would work with one input since you can dial in probe diameter and thickness.... Uwe yes one input is fine. but im wanting to know if he can add it. Since the probe on a lathe will need to approach from 4 diff positions based on what tool you have to setup. like left hand or right hand tool, o...

Would A axis probing routines like this be possible for centroid? I figure you are the person to ask :D Yes this is absolutely possible with CNC12. This is on my list of future features of the ProbeApp but I can't promise any timeline when this will be implemented. In the meantime it's not that dif...

With the encoder inputs, will AcornSix allow closed loop on servos like the DMM DYN4? Scales for positioning is supported. There is a planned encoder expansion board that gives another six encoder ports. Scales for positioning does not care what kind of motors it's connected to. Scales for position...

Waiting to see if if its closed loop (tuneable) capable too. That might be the deal breaker for me if not.

here are the 2 manuals i have both are very similar with small variations.

Lil confused on this one. they have pulse and dir with posi and neg direction. Acorn doesn't show same wiring for it. Lil confused on using external power supply when they dont show a gnd side to use. The servo drive is a sdf20nk9x. Using for an axis obvisouly. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

have you considered using a modern VFD. pricing for AcornSix is being figured out, its over 2.5X cost of Acorn for sure. Ill just plan on using acorn for now. And might get the 6, will just see when its released. can always replace one i have with 6 later on down the road and do a quad relay setup ...

AcornSix hardware is finalized tested and working...it is going to be released soon with public beta CNC12 v4.99 software. We will run in that mode for a bit to collect feedback and then release officially. Currently working with several beta testers on a wide variety of machine tools. Software is ...

there is a thread with a converter board somewhere on the forum if memory serves... also, upcoming AcornSix has +- 10 vdc analog output (two of them in fact) Sweet, how long on acorn 6, roughly? That would be by far the best way. Ill try and search for converter board. i googled online and found so...
