When I changed over from a 2HP 220VAC motor to an AC Servo for the spindle motor I knew it was also time to look at spindle encoding. Cost of the AC Servo was just under half of a 2-phase 2HP + VFD. If I was running toothed belts it would be a no brainer to use the AC Servo drive encoder outpu

Really nothing to do with LCNC or even automation. I've been cleaning out old shelves and I have piles of Popular Electronics Magazines. This one from December 1965 (yes, almost 57 years old) has an article on how to improve model trains so they start slowly or crawl rather than lurching fo

A friend of mine has run hydraulics that way. What you say makes a lot of sense for the model trains too. My little PWM DC speed controller was set above 20kHz to prevent audible noise. But that's a lot different from 60Hz that would, as you say, introduce vibration to overcome static frict

Ask yourself this question. If a wire connecting to the limit switch or ESTOP breaks or becomes intermittent does the system safely stop? One of the biggest reasons for using NC type switches (or PNP) is that a failure in the power or wiring to them also causes a stop. John > -Original Me
