I'm setting up an OMNI 1325 with linear tool change and Syntec controller. I hope to call on the experience of others that have setup OMNI's to help me set this machine up.
First few questions:
1) What air compressor spec is recommended for the spindle?
2) I have two vac motors, both rated at 4.3kw. The controller has 1 x vac motor output and 1 x dust extractor output, I plan to use the dust extractor output for the vac motor. The contactor is rated at 12a/ 5.5kw @ 400V so it's adequate for the job. In terms of switching, is there a dust extractor switch on the syntec controller?
3) Has anyone implemented a touch pad for setting Z on a workpiece?
4) There is a a large chrome L shaped pipe that fixed on to the end of the gantry with a bracket, nothing to fix on the other end. Is this purely to keep the dust hose out of the way of the spindle enclosure?
Thanks
Jess
