In the middle of installing the ATC kit from Shopbot for my PRT-Alpha...
Lots of issues, I will do a full report when I'm done.
I have a question regarding the cooling air for the 5hp spindle. The way the it is wired to the ATC control board the spindle cooling air is active whenever the machine is powered up. I talked to Frank at Shopbot and he said that as far as he can tell this is normal. Seems odd to me to have the air blowing ALL THE TIME...
Anyone out there with a 5hp HSD spindle have their cooling air switched? I'm thinking it could be controlled by output 1 to sync it to the spindle???
Thanks,
Gabe
