The air wrench is probably too much anyway. It can probably strip the drawbolt
I use a 20 volt battery powered Porter Cable impact screwdriver which has plenty of closing torque due to its impact, and my reflexes are fast enough to prevent the overspin and r8 collet drop. I don't see why that idea couldn't be timed to turn it off when the magnet comes by the second time. An H bridge such as the $7 ebay thing I used to drive that BS-1 clone can switch 25 volts at 43 amps, shouldn't have a problem replacing the trigger switch and would also serve as the reversing switch without having to punch the direction button. Total electric conrol by a pair of signals from the bob, crowbarring the motor to stop it quick. Controls for that are a 30 minute edit and test in linuxcnc. Unless busier than that cat on that famous tin roof, charge/swap the battery about monthly. On my g0704, about a seconds hammering and theres no tool slippage, 10 seconds would likely strip or break the drawbolt. Put the H bridge right on the tool so 10 gauge leads are short for low loss. Since you have the air rigged to drop/lift it, keep that but I'd tally the down position and interlock the logic so the only thing you could do when its up, is position it to put the magnet in the correct position for the next unlock cycle. Your pix gives me an idea to make the engagement slider out of an old plunge router base, printing a collar to adapt the impact tool to the router base. All I'd need is the giddyup to get off my duff and do it. But first, straighten the crooked post on that BBLB POS. Until I do that, its looking to be replaced and used for salvage. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Roland Jollivet [mailto:roland.jolli...@gmail.com] > > Sent: November-21-21 12:14 AM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > Subject: [Emc-users] Closed loop control of air motors. > > > > It's not what you asked, but what about a centrifugal > > clutch/limiter?
