Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find a nice way to search the archives. We have a cnc router (probotix) that we are using to automate electronic parts testing (replacing the router with a vacuum picker assembly.) We will have code on a different computer that runs the tests. A p

Ok - that is great that its that easy to remove it. But this must be set in a settings file somewhere, no? It now defaults to showing it, and I need it to not default to that on a fresh install. Any ideas? >Len On 7/10/2015 1:30 PM, Andy Pugh wrote: > >> On 10 Jul 2015, at 19:18, Len Shelton

Andy's idea made me think; Take a look at a commercial pipe threading machine. They use a variety of a 3 jaw chuck that uses some type of scroll mechanism which is actuated by an external ring which you hold in place. The brand most common around here is "Rigid".That setup would not work

I think that most CNC power 3 jaw chucks are hydraulic. You might be able to find one used and setup an air over hydraulic cylinder to control it so you wouldn't need a running hydraulic power source. If you started with a CNC lathe that had some bad controls you might be a lot further along th

Len - actually, I'd like to *find* the velocity information in 2.6... Like you, I too find the over-abundance of numbers in the stock Axis display confusing. Maybe there's some toggle settings in a pull down menu that can disable it? Not near a running machine at the moment. John. ​

Does the stock need to feed thru the chuck (like a bar feeder), or will it be individual blanks loaded by the operator? Is the stock round (3-jaw) or square (4-jaw) Googling "power lathe chuck" will find you lots of chucks that are tightened (with some modest stroke) by a draw-tube, usually cont

Could you use a larger version of a c5 collet and then make a draw tube with a deep groove ball bearing mounted on the opposite end from the collet. This would allow you to attach a stationary fork to the outer race. Have this fork set up over a pivot point with one end attached to the outer ra
