Linz lathe with Clearpath and Acorn

[DICKEYBIRD]

Very clever stuff sir, kudos to you! What sort of aircraft work do you do?

Thanks, my pleasure.

I'm working on what's called an experimental aircraft in the US, here in France limited to 100hp and 2 seats - 450kg max takeoff weight.

Just gave CSS and threading a try. I have a Heidenhain ERN1070 3600 lines encoder bought for $100, found out in the process of wiring that it has an integrated 10x interpolation, so that's 144,000 pulses per rev in Acorn setup ! It works fine anyway.

By the way, here's some action.

Hey,

One more to share my success with the encoder and a first threading try.

Nicely done.
Can you post a brief written overview and post your video links to the Success Stories forum?

Are you running Acorn on your mill?

Hi Marty,

Sure, will do.

My mill is under Mach 3 / G540. I'm getting a bigger mill next month, which is due for Acorn.
