Dual MPG / hand wheels on retrofit lathe
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 4:04 am
Hi
Happy new year everybody
I am considering replacing the Anilam 4200T control on my current lathe. I have already done this for a knee mill so have a pretty good idea of what needs doing.
The one thing, I can't see in the instructions or documentation is how to configure the currently installed MPGs to enable manual control of the axes.
I saw the link pointing to some nice machines with this installed and the Centroid literature points to it being "standard", I just can't see the bit that say's how.
I'm hoping it's as simple as hooking up the MPGs to one of the spare encoder slots on the Allin1 and some software config.
Please can somebody point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Paul
