CSMIO unit on order, motors on order, ball-screws ordered, wallet crying :(
Panel controls...
With the Bridgeport you have to run in reverse when in low range, is there a way to have this done in Mach3 or will it still be a Hi/Low selector switch on the panel?
The VFD for main spindle, with the vari-speed mechanical system I'm not sure if i should try using the vfd as variable or leave it fixed at 50Hz, the top speed is limited to 3500rpm absolute max as it tends to wreck the spindle bearings above that and low down it probably would not have the torque needed, so stick with mechanical ?
Main spindle on/off manual control - would these buttons control Mach3 or would they control the vfd directly?
Just looking for ideas here.Last edited by Davek0974; 18-05-2016 at 07:39 PM.
