Hi
I am finally getting back to work on my old HAAS VF1 , ordered one new motor and controller
so If I can get the Z axis and tool changer working together then I will get the other two for the X and Y
I am going to try to orient the spindle electrically , it used to use a detent pin to lock in orient position.
And rigid tap if I ever use it.
So I have to add a spindle encoder and would like to know
what the recommended Counts Per Revolution should be.
Is 400 not enough? Is 1000 more than enough?
I am using a 5i25 and 7i77 , and I figure max rpm of the spindle is 6000 rpm
so I dont want to over count ...
Thank You for any advice.
Tim
