I am planning to finish to retrofit Cincinnati Arrow 750 with LinuxCNC in several weeks completely. This includes hacked VFS spindle drive for 9kW 10kRPM spindle and automatic tool changer. I did not succeed to revive VFS to its original state, so I chose very strange way - to hack it and control phases directly.
I chose Mesa 5i25 + 7i77. Everything else is just a bunch of wires and code :) And I am happy with the result. 01/13/2016 07:26 PM, Wayde Allen rašė: > I just joined the email list since I'm wondering about using Linux CNC to > retrofit the control system on an old Cincinnati/Milacron CNC system.
