MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder
开云体育Can MACH4 Lathe still work with only a 1PPR spindle sensor or does it now require a full quadrature encoder and Index pulse? |
开云体育It works either way, unless something has changed in the last few years ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Dammeyer

开云体育It's just I had a question on how hard to migrate from a MACH3 1 PPR to a MACH4 system and whether mechanical and electrical changes were required to use MACH4 due to a quadrature encoder requirement for RPM measurement.? ? Back in the days of single parallel port it was an issue due to lack of inputs and horrendous prices of quadrature encoders.? ? John ?

开云体育I ran Mach4 for years using a single-pulse setup. I only changed to an encoder a few years back ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Dammeyer

开云体育Thanks. Did you find any difference in behavior? John ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andy Wander

开云体育Nothing that I noticed, but I didn’t really try to find any differences either. ? Threading (once they finally made it work) was fine with either method. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Dammeyer
