Setting up a lathe with gearbox.
Posted: Mon May 19, 2025 11:55 amI am doing a lathe conversion using a servo motor to drive the spindle through the gearbox .I have a 1000 pulse encoder on the spindle measuring rpm .
Doe the system allow feedback via the spindle speed control setup so that if I enter S1000 then it will adjust the output voltage to the servo to obtain the desired rpm regardless of what gear is selected manually .
Or do I manually enter each ratio in the pulley section and then use the P215x function
