Presss brake "Z" axis

Post by sjstech »

I am working on converting my son's pressbrake from an older CNC control. Back gage is working great and I have a plan to make the ram work as needed-but would really like to use the existing encoder to make for a more flexible machine.

It appears to be possible to assign the encoder input on the ACORN to another axis-say the Z and treat it as a manual axis-but then I need a way to recognize that the "Z" axis has reached the commanded coordinate.

Is this possible, or am I jousting at windmills? :)
