Spindle optical encoder on mill

[eric-koceja]

Hello, I setting up my mill with Masso unit, and bench tested with (Masso ) optical encoder, with the online wheel print out, entered info in settings for how many blocks on wheel and I get no feed back on screen? Spindle speed stays at 0 rpm. Does this work with mill software or is it just lathe for now? Any ideas? Thanks Eric​

Hi @eric-koceja

The spindle encoder is for Lathe only and is used for threading to keep track of rotations.

Cheers

Ok thanks, I thought that the screen would displayed rpm on mill screen since there is a readout for it? I m sure it just a software program. Hopefully it will be included in next software update?? So no tapping or thread milling. At this point? I think I got it now Thanks eric
