Setting zero return position in Fanuc control Fanuc zero return position and gridshift parameter Setting Zero Return on any machine can sometimes be difficult. Some builders have their own way to set zero return through their own side of the control. So, double check with the machine tool builder if
A lathe tool setter is a precision device used in machining (particularly on lathes) to quickly and accurately set the position of cutting tools relative to the workpiece or spindle. It ensures that each tool is properly aligned, both in the Z-axis (lengthwise) and X-axis (radial), which is essential for
Optocoupler, also known as opto-isolator, are electronic components that transfer electrical signals between isolated circuits using light. In the realm of electronics, where safety and reliability are paramount, these devices act as silent guardians by bridging signals across isolation barriers while blocking harmful voltages or noise. Let’s explore how this
Variable frequency drive is electronic device that converts a (more or less) fixed frequency and voltage into a variable frequency and voltage. This device allows electric motors to be operated with a variable speed. A Deep Dive into Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) In today’s industrial and commercial landscapes, energy efficiency
Servo motors are the unsung heroes of modern automation, powering everything from robotic arms to 3D printers with remarkable precision. But behind their seamless operation lies a critical component: the encoder. This blog post explores how encoders enable servo motors to deliver unmatched accuracy and control in dynamic applications. What
In the world of automation and robotics, precision is king. Servo motors, with their ability to deliver exact, controlled movements, are the unsung heroes behind countless modern technologies from the intricate dance of industrial robots to the smooth steering of remote-controlled cars. But what exactly is a servo motor, and
The Anatomy of a Numerically Controlled (NC) Machine Tool: CNC machine tools (Numerically Controlled machine tools) have revolutionized manufacturing by enabling precise, automated control of machining processes. These machines rely on a seamless integration of electronics, electrical systems, and mechanical components to achieve high levels of accuracy and repeatability. Let’s
Stepper Motor Basics A stepper motor is an electric motor whose main feature is that its shaft rotates by performing steps, that is, by moving by a fixed number of degrees. This feature is obtained thanks to the internal structure of the motor and allows to know the exact angular
