Fully integrated USB spindle load meter for most Tormach CNC machines running PathPilot. Compatible with all Tormach CNC mills and lathes running PathPilot (440 770 770M 770MX 1100 1100M 1100MX 1500MX 8L 15L 15LX). Typical install time is under five minutes. Software setup is also simple, requiring only a few files to be copied to the machine followed by a reboot. In addition to the live load meter, this package includes a graphing utility that lets you review spindle load over time. You can graph: Individual NC programs, such as comparing widget. Top.

A blog of ideas and improvements for Tormach CNC mills. PathPendant for Tormach Mills & Lathes. The PathPendant is a USB hot-pluggable pendant for Tormach mills and lathes running PathPilot (not compatible with Mach 3 or 4 machines). They can be built however you like, but they typically include three encoders (to adjust Feed Rate, Spindle RPM and Max Velocity) and three to six buttons which are completely customizable. Not only are they customizable, but they are hot-editable, meaning you can change what they do inside PathPilot without exiting or rebooting PathPilot. Anything that you can enter on the MDI line can be a button. Machine moves (G0 X5, G1 F40 X10 Y-2, etc). WCS changes (G54, G55, etc). Spindle Start (M3 S5000). You can also do Cycle Start and Stop. You can do all those, and change them around by editing a simple text file. The scale of the knobs is also completely adjustable. Installation is simply dropping two files into /gcode/python and restarting PathPilot. And just plug the pendant into the machine via an available USB port. I will also help walk you through the process, as necessary. This is the knob-only version, for adjusting Feed Rate, RPM and Max Velocity.

Unlike the Tormach I/O board, this one does not rely on power from the host computer via the USB cable. Instead, our I/O card has a separate connector for 24Vdc. Your Tormach mill already has a 24V supply in its wiring cabinet and this is ideal. The maximum total power draw of the I/O board is 1.5A and there is an onboard, self-resetting fuse to limit it even under fault or short circuit conditions. The 4 outputs are opto-isolated, open collector transistor that act as switches to the 24V ground connection. The output connector has 8 pins, with the 24V supply’s +ve and the 4 outputs alternating. This makes it neat and simple to wire relay coils or pneumatic solenoid valves as the two wires to the coil connect to adjacent terminals on the USB I/O’s output connector. Inputs The inputs are also opto-isolated and these require 2.5mA to activate. One end of the isolator input is connected to the +ve side of the 24V power supply, so to activate the input, you simply short it to ground. The input connector has alternating ground and input pins, so any switch type sensor can simply be connected between adjacent pins on the input connector.

Up for sale we have a Tormach series 3 cnc mill. I’m going to describe it to the best of my ability. Full surround, compressor with hoses, path pilot controller, Sprutcam 10, monitor keyboard mouse jog controller, 1 tormach machinists vise 5 inch, 1 tormach vice set 5 inch (2 vices), Pallet jack, 5 sets of 5x2x1 soft jaws, hard jaws, auto oiler, relocation kit(not installed) custom vent fan, fog buster, height gauge digital, parallel set x2, angle set, adjustable parallel set, 12 er20 tts tool holders, 4 er16 tts tool holders, 2 er32 tool holders some unopened, 123 blocks, 1/2 5/8 indexable endmills shars, 45 degree indexable facemill 2×3/4 shars, flycutter, jobber drill bit set, edge finder, passive touch probe, passive touch probe and tool height custom made, dial indicators, drill chucks various sizes, multiple sets of collets in various sizes, boring bars/heads, inserts for indexable parts (y0101, ybg202, ybc302), clamp set, tts tool racks. Here is the tricky part, the tooling. Carbide endmills and some hss sets. Various size carbide endmills from 3/64-1/2 2 flute , some 3 flute and 4 flute, square end, ball end, 45 degree chamfers, very hard to count them all, a full drawer of just tooling. Tool cart is included as well. All manuals are included, I’m sure I’m missing some things, so ask questions please. I cannot find the time to use it unfortunately. I have already been in contact with tormach, they will need to know when the machine transfers to the new owner. I learned to mill basic things in roughly 2 months time. No prior cnc experience. Great machine and great user help lines. Lots of things on YouTube to help you. I will help disassemble parts to move out of the garage. Once outside, it is yours. A lift gate and a box truck is perfect for this and tie it down. Pallet jack is included so makes it easier. Have roughly 23k investment into everything here. Or cashiers check during bank hours of operation and must clear before loading. If picking up on a Sunday, cash only. I have many more photos if interested in them. Had a good question about if any issues or crashes. I have crashed a few endmills (plunged) but caught before spindle crash. I did however have the spindle door open and went up with the mill, put a dent in upper part of enclosure on the flap not on the main shell. Very minor, thanks for the question. Have a picture if needed. Last picture is a sample of what I milled with the machine. Aluminum stock, flymill finish, engraved with a 3/64 ball end. 45 degree chamfer edges.
