This document is not for setting up the multiple grinder heads. This document is a guide for setting up a main spindle and subspindle using the 2000 series VFD parameters. It assumes that the VFDs are already properly programmed and communicating on different...

Overview The gang spindle parameters allow multiple spindles to be locked together in their run state and commanded RPM, compiling all of their feedback into a single unit. In this way, one speed can be set that will be distributed to all spindles in the grou...

Problem: Not going the correct RPM? Is the spindle encoder configured correctly? Option 1 Test with a Tachometer and make sure it matches the RPM in Mach. Option 2 Zero the HiCON encoder Rotate the spindle 360 degrees How many encoder counts d...

Setup gears If you do not know the gear ratio on the spindle, setup the spindle as follows: Set a very high max RPM for the range (such as 50,000) Turn on spindle at the max spindle speed defined above Read RPM using spindle encoder or tachometer Need...

Commanding a Spindle Orient M19 M Code You can command an orient using the M19 M code or by invoking the spindleorient.mcs macro. M19 [S<stopping_angle>] Orient the spindle and move it to the specified angle. If no angle is specified, 0 is used. UserGUI...
