Pit, I'm impressed! Well Done. Do you use a foot pedal operated cylinder to set the brake? And a solenoid to hold it?... I'm guessing it could be controlled with codes M8 and M9 tied to the coolant pump

the brake is a bike hydraulic brake , I just use it with air pressure and controll with my electronics, this is enough to hold a little backlash for my light milling. The indexer is connected to haas machnine via second serial port.

I like it. That is a brilliant little piece of work there.
Is that turboupload.com a safe place? It makes my Firefox act up. I can see the countdown to wait, at the end of countdown a window pops up and nothing.

every of my firefox version didn`t have those problems, if you wish I can put on other server.

I like the homebrew indexer, very nice.
I'm curious about the electronics side of your unit.

Hi Pit
I think this is a really cool project, and I would like to build a similar indexer for my Haas mill with a Vertex 150 and Uhu Driver
is it shure that for turn the indexer on the Haas control put in the angle (a180) and then the indexer turn 180°
Can you explain how exactly you connect the Uhu Driver to the Haas Control.
Are some schematic aviable for your electronic adapter (HaastoUhu)

thank you very match

Hi, no , my schematics are "stone age" I am not so good in electronics , I can send you a protocol , if you know what a rs232 frame is , then you probaly know how to do the electronics.
