General Mach Discussion / Re: Newbie converting Hardinge TFB to CNC - Questions about Mach 3, Motors, etc.

dwent,
Mach 3 does support MPG's, I'm also looking into using computer handwheel control but have not got there yet.  You may want to download the mach 3 users manual and a demo version and play around with it.  I did find mpg encoders a www.mouser.com page 1200 of their e-catalog.  They do have one unit the gives 64 pulses per rpm, but it's close to $30.  Does anyone have a better source?

Hope this helps

Ron

I'm also looking at using the PMDX optical spindle sensor.  Did you get the problem resolved with the sensor or what did you choose to do.  I appreciate your input.

Thanks Ron
