Re: [Emc-users] Index pulse on 5i25 with 7i76

2015-07-14 Thread David Armstrong
dont forget you also need a pulse on enc a as well as index for threading , unless of course your using a commercial encoder and change encoder type to 1 , and change the encoder to ttl by the 3 jumpers on the 7i76 for that particular channel . you can tie the same sig to index and enc a hope

2015-07-14 Thread Chris Kelley
I'm getting ready to start retrofitting a 1981 Okuma LC30 (OSP-3000 control). The axis drives seem to take simple +/-10V commands and use tachs on the motors for feedback. However, from what I can tell, the encoders are some sort of absolute setup that doesn't use any sort of battery backup and

I'm not actually answering your question; but have you looked at the shaft encoders on Ebay recently? There were some $15 units the last time I looked. It might make sense to adapt to some of those? $43 seems like a lot of money for the modular units considering what is delivered. Dave On

hello, all, I've been selling some Automation tech brushless DC motors with encoders to go with my servo amps. Lately I've been using HEDS-5640#A06 encoders from Avnet, which are the highest resolution I can get with a 1/4 shaft. There used to be inexpensive alternates from US Digital and

OPto/encoder update. I had to customize a bit on the sleeve to get enough room so I could tap it around and get something resembling concentricity. Made a new disk with a deeper slice for the index gate, and smaller mounting holes so the heads of the 0-80 flat head mounting screws wouldn't
