BP CNC S1 Speed control with Mach3?

[Jonne]

I have BP CNC S1 with pneumatic varispeed head.
Can I, or is it difficult to make mach3 controlling speed?
Any ideas?

Hi Johannes,

I'm not familiar with this machine. Tell me, how do you manually vary the speed on it now? Is it done via a pneumatic valve?

I designed and sell the DigiSpeed range of speed controllers. Maybe I could do a mod, or a special one to help you out.

It's use pneumatic solenoid valves (24 V). These valves controls
pneumatic turbine what uses via worm gear variators speed change plate.

Hi Johannes

Did you get anywhere with this?

I'd of thought it would be easily possible and if you put a speed sensor on the spindle it should be possible to write a macro that will alter the speed to the programed speed.
