Hello Folks, I hope all is well. A new comer here! I have tried researching to find answers to my issue with no success. I am therefore left with asking for help on this forum once again. I'll appreciate any guidance.
I have a 5-axis wood router that I have been working on retrofitting with Acornsix. I currently have everything wired up and working, with the exception of the 6-rack ATC. Due to my lack of knowledge and inexperience, other than knowing what the physical movement should look like when the machine executes an M06 command, I find it difficult to make these connections.
I have traced and can positively identify all the wires coming from the machine to the cabinet. There are about 14 wires.
The machine came configured with a 5-axis RichAuto controller and a GDL60 24z-6.0 spindle, which has about 8 spindle terminal wires. (Please see photo.)
2 pneumatic valve sensors with 2 wires each.
1 Reed switch that has two wires. I believe this reed switch monitors my dust boot positions.
I have also included the old wire with the RichAuto controller.
A simple schema will get me started as I continue to learn.
I appreciate any help, advise or guidance
