For my next control panel, I'll probably only go for the following-
Power switch
E-Stop
Cycle Start*
Feedhold*
SSO
FRO
MPG
Everything else I'll do on a touch screen.
The last panel I built for my mill, I added axis and step size rotary selection switches to go with the MPG, but doing it with some buttons on a touchscreen is far simpler and be just as effective.
However, all my machines I can reach the control panel from the working area. If I had a big machine, I'd have the MPG on a pendant for convenience.
*Cycle Start and Feedhold you could also do with on screen buttons, but I prefer having a couple nice big buttons to hit.Last edited by m_c; 27-08-2019 at 11:58 AM.
