Hi,
I have a CNC Hydraulic Pressbrake that the controller isn't working. I am looking at the possibility of retrofitting it with Linuxcnc. Following are some questions to get me started: The electrical cabinet is fairly small, should I consider a RPI4, or a thin client computer, or mounting the computer outside the electrical cabinet. If I use RPI4 what Mesa board setup would you recommend? I currently have a tubing bender with Linuxcnc using a custom Glade gvc panel for GUI and Mesa 5i25 with 7i76. I would consider using this as a starting point, but does anyone have any other suggestions? For the monitor display, the existing control arm would have room for an 8" x 8" would this work for a small display, possibly touch screen? Or should I build a bigger control arm? So basically Linuxcnc needs to control the ram up and down, and the backguage. Will I be able to use the existing servo amplifiers? 2 Axis Backguage controlled by two: Moog Servo controllers Model # 180-310A-A1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/blg15tpmlou0kjv/Moog-ServoDrives-L180-Manual-en.pd f?dl=0 Ram up and down: Heidenhain LS 629 Incremental Encoder https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xsvvpcatklqei8/Heidenhain%20LS%20629%20Incrementa l%20Encoder.pdf?dl=0 Bosch Servo Solenoid Valve with on-board electronics: 0 811 404 803 Type 4WRPEH10C4B100L-2X/G24K0/A1M https://www.dropbox.com/s/rtr5n3pjg0ggkhp/BRH%204WRPEH_re29037_2005-10.pdf?d l=0 Existing controller wiring diagram https://www.dropbox.com/s/aajc63tr71dmcvg/ETS250%20%283%29.pdf?dl=0 Any advice, help would be appreciated, Thanks, Earl W <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
