Oak physical feed rate and spindle speed override knobs.
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2021 10:31 pm
Hello guys,
Have just purchased the oak board with 1616 IO and wireless Mpg.
Converting an Atrump E216 mill w 16 tool ATC that has the very strange ITRI M2000 control.
I would like to add two physical rotary knobs to control feed rate override and spindle speed override. I understand this is available on the MPG and touch HMI but old habits die hard and would love two panel mounted knobs.
I believe this can be done with the addition of the optional analog input output board but I have all ready blown the budget and don’t feel like spending another 500 clams.
Is there any other way I can do this? At the least would like feed override if I can only do one.
Have been thinking about getting creative with an Xkey controller with rotary knob or something like that but would prefer hard wired to Oak solution.
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.
Cheers
Jules
