Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn
I have the Z-Finder from Sorotec, the 3D Finder is better than probes for < 200 bucks, but I have only tested this one from a friend https://www.sorotec.de/shop/3D-Finder---3D-Measuring-sensor-6411-9688.html It is not featuring an angular adjustment, but a good radial adjustment. Kind of soft sprin...

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn
This chart was supplied with the probe I guess? I have used some types of probes in the <200€ range and made probemaps with them. Non was as good as a KP3, but maybe ok for hobby. But for me, the most annoying thing was that none of the cheap probes stayed in center for a longer time and some of th...

Uwe is from a Galaxy far far away from ours. He ain't human! His brain is the size of a beach ball.

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn
Yes a very good introduction to the Centroid Acorn. One thing I don't agree with in the video is Adam stating that the Acorn system is expensive. If one values their time at all the Acorn is a no brainer. The ease of installation and support is priceless I think. The combination of hardware and soft...

Higher resolution on Wmpg encoder wheel
Is there a way to get less movement of an axis when using the knob on the wmpg? I would like it not to move as much when I have it on the 1x setting. I have the 1x setting in the wizard set at .001 or what ever it say on the pop up is the lowest number it can be. I am using MM.

Facing with Intercon?
I had never used the facing canned cycle in Intercon before yesterday. My question is why doesn't Intercon use the tool diameter in the tool library when facing? Meaning you have to add the radius of the tool to the facing length on both ends of the pass. It would seem to me there should be an entry...

Re: Curious error msg for WMPG
I had the same message two days ago. I did the usual of unplugging and plugging back in the USB antennae. That didn't fix it so I restarted CNC12 and then all was OK. It has not happened again. No updates of OS or any other software. The computer is not connected to the internet. That is the first t...

Re: 1.8 KW AC Servo For Spindle Motor
Uwe, on your builds do you have an encoder in addition to the servo encoder when you have used a JMC servo for the spindle motor?
