Re: [Emc-users] ATS-667 again

Just a quick note to say the ATS601 seems to work quite well on inital testing. It can detect a small drilled hole in a shaft (think a full width peck from a 1/8" drill) without much trouble. If you're sensing something(s) that isn't a gear tooth and doesn't have to reject objects that

I'll jump in here and be slightly off topic. I've recently been setting up some ATS688s for spindle encoding on a big straight bevel gear. Works great. Wish the duty cycle was a bit higher so I wouldn't have to skew the A/B phases off 90 degrees. But the gear teeth aren't square like the

Hi all; I am restarting an older CNC lathe conversion - an Emco Compact-8, fwiw. I have the 5i25 and 7i76, and 6 ats-667 sensors for spindle. (6, because if I only ordered 3, I'd end up breaking one, and shipping is expensive...) Any wiring issues I should be aware of? Field voltage is about
