Hello guys, I hope you're doing well I'm having problems with a Daewoo Puma 12L lathe to index some tools. The problem is that some tools work well and others don't seem to be detected by the control to stop at the position and clamp the turret. So the turret keeps rotatring until the timeout triggers.
The lathe is working now because some turret positions are usable. But I would like to try and detect the problem in case it's the encoder, because they seem hard to find. Are you familiar with any of these? My idea in case the problem is the encoder is: 1- Replace it for the same encoder (which I can't find anywhere) 2- Use a 100 pulses abs encoder and scale it via a microcontroller to 10 pulses to accommodate it to what I need. Then feed those signals to the control. (The problem is I only found a basic manual for the encoder with the pinout, but nothing about how it behaves, I don't know if it uses a BCD or plain binary, etc...) Of course in the near future this will be converted to LCNC and none of this would be a problem. But in the meantime I would like to have a backup in case the encoder fails completely. Thank you! _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
