Igor, Wouldn't a PID temp controller be cheaper and easier? I use a Honeywell PID temp controller on my bamboo heat treating convection oven, but you can usually pick up a Watlow PID temp controller on eBay for under $50. And, once the PID controller learns the ramp up and ramp down

There are thermocouple to digital converter integrated circuit,( e.g. Maxim MAX6675) which would be a good place to start if you want to build something. There are also a number of kiln controllers on the market. Craig On 11/1/2010 12:44 AM, Mark Wendt wrote: On 11/01/2010 01:28 AM, Jon

You can't get rotary motion within a canned cycle. The documentation alludes to this: Rotational axis words are allowed in canned cycles, but it is better to omit them. If rotational axis words are used, the numbers must be the same as the current position numbers so that the

Gentlemen, I can see many cases of ABC motion in a canned cycle being very useful ie. a cylindrical part in a rotary table. A canned cycle could easily drill multiple holes in a cylindrical part with multiple holes in the periphery of the part. I can only imagine a few ABC configurations where
