Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Thanks for all your input. Essentially, Centroid can only display actual RPM if you are using an encoder. That is what I wanted to know. Funny, I had originally thought about using the spindle speed display on the PM-833 however upon further inspection I found that the PM-833 does not have an actual...

Thanks! How would Centoid "Know" the actual spindle speed if you are not using an encoder?

Perfect. That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks for your quick reply.

I am converting a PM-833TV to CNC. I originally planned on installing an encoder to pick-up the spindle position and speed. For a number of reasons, I am most likely not going to install the encoder. I am controlling the spindle speed using a DuraPulse VFD and an analog 0-10V input. Since I am not u...

I had the same question when I started wiring these home switches. As Shawn mentioned "The Acorn homes one axis at a time. With all switches in series the loop is closed". What I did not realize is that immediately after Acorn homes a switch and opens the normally closed limit switch, Acor...

Thanks!

Thanks for you thoughts. Just curious as to how you converted the ITTP to wireless?

Thanks Marty.

OOPS.. One last question. You discussed using the same CPC connector for both the probe and tool setter with the additional detections pins. If I use the Tormach TTS tool holders and program the relative tool lengths, is there still a need for a tool setter?

Thanks for you thoughts regarding putting putting the jumper on the connector at the head of the machine. This makes sense to me. I had have not used a milling machine since high school (40+ years ago) so the workflow is a bit fuzzy. I watched one of Cliff's videos demonstrating the use of his new I...
