Hi All,
I've acquired a nice little Orac with a tool changer and are going to convert it to Mach 3.
I have already converted a Bridgeport to M3 but this is a basic system with just 1 standard breakout board+ shuttle.
Looking at the i/o extension options for Orac, the Pokeys looks great as I would like to :-
Operate the tool change (3 position sensor i/p and 1 o/p to index).
Fit MPG handwheels to give "manual machining control"
Travel limits
Speed and spindle speed override pots.......so far so good I think
Also, op a 0-10v analogue signal to a new VFD for spindle control, I'm not sure if Pokeys does this yet? I (think) I will need to somehow isolate the analogue from the VFD?
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
ATB
Derek.
