If you don't need a huge tooth count, why not just put hall sensors on the backgear (of any lathe so equiped.) You should be able to adjust a pair of them to give good quadrature. Should be able to come up w/ a creative way to do the index pulse too? Like sense a keyway, drll and tap the side of

[Emc-users] Lathe spindel encoder

2012-04-11 Thread Rolf Bredemeier
Hi, at time i am trying to convert a little desktop-lathe (WABECO) to CNC. In the next day i will build my own spindel encoder. I need it only for threading. The machine will be driven by steppers. Waht is the best choice for slot count for the encoder wheel? (I will mill it.) I think, i can m
