Hello Chaps
Talking about speed and ratio on lathe spindle
My Machine has a gearbox with 12 gear ratios. I am using
an Omron drive controller
I have a 1400 motor and for this query I have selected
pulley number one and manually selected gear ratio that would give
spindle speed 80 rpm
When setting pulley ratio in the pulley ratio drop box
I have entered the following in the .
pulley number 1
minimum speed 20
maximum speed 1400
ratio 1.01
With this setting when I say S1400 M4 then the speed actual reads 140 rpm and
a tachometer check on the spindle confirms that the spindle is actually
running at 140 rpm
While running as above the s word DRO is reading 1400 which confirms the speed that the
motor is running at.
this is means that the s word is referring to the motor speed.
I would have expected the s word to refer to spindle speed??
How do i get the s word to refer to spindle speed??
Regardfs
