I had to service this motor today, as a previous technician had improperly installed the brushes and it would are off at speed. In doing so I removed the tach cover and found plenty of room for an omron encoder. So I will not likely try these for spindle encoder. But will be putting them in as home switches soon.
Gene, you are absolutely right about the optos, the strongest and best these have performed today after I replaced the bob to a straight through board. However, I discovered my y axis ballscrews is bent. It's been in there 4 years now and was kinda jury rigged anyhow. So I guess it's time to jump that hurdle, may as well put one in x as well. Now where's that box with pulleys and belt in it from China that has been setting in Chicago for 2.5 weeks....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
