I have what was originally a Boss Bridgeport mill that I just finished upgrading to Centroid’s Allin1DC system. The install went well for the X,Y and Z, but I am a bit stumped on the W...or rotary axis.
The rotary table I have is a substantial item, weighing at least 150 pounds. It is hooked up to a Centroid DC1 driver, so it does spin with the Jog panel, but I am not sure where to go from there. I’m a complete newby to this. There are 3 lone wires coming out of the side of the table, which I assume are for the home sensor. It also has 2 fittings that leak oil if I turn the table on its side. The Centroid rep was asking me about “clamps” and such...and I have no idea.
If any of you can help me with the basics of a rotary table I would really appreciate it. Namely, how does the homing sensor work? It has black,/red/and blue wires, but which is what and what kind of voltage will it want? Then, are the fittings for an oiling system, or a pneumatic clamp?
Thanks...
