Surface Grinder Retrofit

[wayne]

The Grinder is a Williams & Wilson Tech Grinder. It is old and not hydraulic. It is all mechanical.

Wayne,

What are you using to control / reverse the table? You mentioned a Panelview HMI, so I'm assuming that you have a small plc on this thing. If so what type model?

If your PLC has a free analog input channel you could go real cheap and dirty and use a string pot. We have a bunch of them, and haven't had any trouble. Mounting location is crucial to reliability however. (You gotta keep the string out of harms way.)

I Was Planning On Useing A Micrologix 1500 With A Panelview 300 All Ab
