4th Axis

[andrew2]

I have a 3rd party rotary indexer on another machine, somewhere I read it can work on the techno with another card or a wand.
Does somebody know whats needed?

It depends on what hardware you currently have. There are many different techno control boxes and they require different parts. I think we would need more info sat what you own.

Its the LC-plus box, the manual seems to call it RG box.
I have a Haas indexer, they make a loose amp box for 3rd party machines.
If I get the 4th chip from techno should be all thats needed?

[Pplug]

I'm not sure. I have the standard lc box. Sorry I can't help you more. Try giving them a call and asking.

I'm not sure on the lc or the rg, but if you have a the fourth chip and a separate indexer and amplifier, and it takes +_10v signal, then it may work. it will need a way to close the loop to the techno control, and it may need to have other connections as well, e stop, limits etc

If you don't have the amp box already, you may be able to add a servo amp card to your box and power the indexer if it had an appropriately sized dc brush servo with a differential encoder.
