Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: RE: DRO UPDATE

Art,
Here I am again asking questions... How did you get the encoder
wheel off of the motor shaft? I got the retaining ring off without
destroying the disc but can't seem to get the disc off the shaft. It
appears to be bonded to the aluminum disk underneath it and that acts
like it is a press fit on the shaft. I hesitate to apply too much
force trying to pry it off but am looking for clues.
On the other hand I have a bunch of small plastic pulleys with ball
bearing centers that came out of the plotter that yielded the cable I
plan to use. Since they have an ID enough larger than 5mm that I
think I can bush them to fit the encoder shafts, I plan to use those
to run the cable over, seems like they would be less likely to have
any slippage since HP designed them to be used with the cable. Does
this sound reasonable to anyone, just looking for ideas.
Thanks
Terry
