Excello 604 cnc mill info.

[CATCH22]

Does it make a difference what the encoders count per rev is I am looking at buying either us digital e2-1000-315 or e5-1024-236-i-ddd-3 would either of these encoders work well with my servo motors 85volt 7amp and 1700rpm,with a 2 to 1 reduction.

Thanks Mike

Yes I used the same power supply and kept what I needed in the panel.

Thankyou AL
Is your excello a 604 the z axis setup looks different,your motor is mounted vertically and mine is horizontal. I find it weird that the motor on mine is like that.

Thanks Mike

Either of those encoder resolutions will work as long as the controller will accept the frequency at the RPM you intend running.

I will be using Mach3, how do I figure out if the controller will accept the frequency at the rpm I will be running?

[Al_The_Man]

Larken recommend 1000 pulse encoders, so either 1000 or 1024 should work.

Would the AMT102 encoder from KelingInc.net. work with mach3 and my motors,they have a dip switch that can be set to 1000 ppr,do you think these will work?

Thanks Mike

I would't use those encoders, they don't get any cheaper. Get the US digital E5 or E6 differential if you want reliability, they cost about $20 bucks more per axis.

I bought a few of the AMT102 from Digikey to try, but wouldn't put them on a production machine.

Thanks for the reply Larken,
Thats all I needed to know,just trying to feel my way through this before I purchase everything I need for this conversion.


Thanks Mike
