Re: Spindle Control
John,
I'm using G-code through Mach 3 to drive an on-off relay for my Sherline spindle, and set the speed manually.

Re: Spindle Control
I believe you definitely need an encoder on the spindle itself or toothed belt and use encoder on motor if it has one. Power tapping has to be closed loop.

Re: Spindle Control
I¡¯ve never tried.
But, I think that you might need an in-band spindle for power tapping.

Re: Spindle Control
Andy,
Is ModBus fast enough for reversing and tracking for power tapping?

Quick little survey on what everyone has on their machine for spindle control.
1. Do you have a VFD on a 3 phase motor for Lathe or Mill.
2. Does the CNC controller drive the spindle or do you set

You should use the Modbus plugin that interfaces to Mach3 via brains.

I kind of figured that. My Modio is back in the box at the moment. My friend is having a few issues but some of those are also self-inflicted. He now tells me he doesn't use the Modio
