New AjaxCNC Tech Bulletins added 3-18-13

fyi... several new Tech Bulletins have been added to the AjaxCNC covering PC requirements, new voltage ratings on our Servo drives (now up to 180 volts!) and other good installation information..

Is there an updated list somewhere? This stops back in 2013 and I have TSB 296 on setting up a spindle load meter so there are quite a few missing.

Thanks,


Tom

tom, hello. the tech bulletins have been getting updated. just the date on the ajax web page was not being updated when the tb was updated but the link still would take you to the latest TB. and i've asked liviu to update the list thanks for pointing this out. we are working on a new "Centroid DIY" web page that will replace the ajaxcnc.com web page that will make things easier for everyone.
in the mean time here are direct links to

Thanks, Keith. Can't wait to see the new Centroid DIY website. My Oak board should be here soon and I'm looking forward to jumping in.

Hmmm....the spindle load meter just gave me an idea. I'll have to check the vfd specs in the cabinet. The system is cnc10, but if it has an analog output on the vfd no reason I couldn't add a separate indicator somewhere.

[cnckeith]

yeah. you can always buy a little analog volt meter and use the analog output of the VFD to run the meter. check your vfd, often its 0-2 volts vdc output for load... so just buy a volt meter in that range.. and wa la you have a spindle load meter the old fashion way.
