Another way to tell if your stop is doing the job is turn down the pressure of your air supply and spin the turret at a different speed.this will tell if you are just timing the turret with the sensor and getting lucky or if you are using the stop correctly.slowing down the speed of the turret should not make you miss stations,( I mean a little slower not 20 psi or something crazy.just till you notice it is turning a little slower

Mine works pretty well so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwhz3Ho_Gx0 You might try looking at the turret signals with HALscope to make sure the encoder values and control signals are stable. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
