Thanks Dave!
If I remember correctly the encoder is 2500 PPR. It's a lot for the kind of
job as you say so I'm pretty happy about the way it behaves.
Anyway, I think that may be using a timing pulley the ripple could be
reduced. It appears only when the axis is going up and between 3000 mm/min
an
not a brake,just a ring with a notch that clamps on the spindle and an air
cylinder with a roller on the end to drop in the notch Milltronics used that
system for years no encoder just turn on spindle to like 50 rpm and actuate the
cylinder when the notch comes around, the cylinder end goes in .
For what you are doing, that looks really good!
Nice work!
What resolution encoder do you have on the motor?

Taking back to life this topic.
I just uploaded a crappy video (sorry for the quality it was filmed with a
cheap phone) that shows how the positioning system is working.

A more generalized approach.
1) Can we enable snmp traps?
2) Can we connect via an API and pull the status?
One thing I had been looking at from a scaled up situation - specifically
is you use this as a base for a lights-out manufacturing facility - would
be the ability for a monitoring program,

I would think that tool changing could be done by many means. The
mechanical changing and securing is really the hard part. As a friend once
told me: "The rest is a simple matter for software" (I never believed him
either)

I found a solution. If you just put a (-) in front of the Z figure it
travels the opposite way. You also have to swing the incremental counter
for the no of cuts to add in stead of subtract as well.

I tried that Andy but is does not work as expected. I will have to write
the routine to explicitly do that.
I was hoping to find a shortcut and not have to write it from scratch.
No problem I like learning new stuff. It's what drives me :)

I _think_ you can just use a negative diameter and it works.
