RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Easson DRO with cnc?

Ken,

You can use your linear encoder in your DRO as input encoder to servo motor.
As long as it is powered by 5 Volt power supply and has at least A/B channel,
it can be used for cnc system, but it is going to be pricey encoder though.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Easson DRO with cnc?




























Hi, I have had a 3-axis Easson dro on my mill for some time, now I am

retired I am looking at cnc'ing it with mach3 or similar, and it would be

nice to be able to use the easson scales for position feedback- no backlash

and position to a tenth of a thou.



Does anyone know if this is possible- what protocol do the easson scales

use, can they be hooked up to something like mach3 or emc?



It would be a pity (and a step backwards) to have the scales and not be

able to use them with the cnc software.



Cheers, Ken
