The Sherline CNC Linear Controller w/ 24 Leadscrew (“‘) is a versatile and programmable device designed to enhance the functionality of non-CNC-ready machines. This stand-alone controller is equipped with a stepper motor mount and a 24-inch leadscrew, making it suitable for driving the leadscrew of a Sherline lathe. It offers the capability to control the stepper motor through a user-friendly keypad, allowing for precise management of distance, direction, and speed. The controller supports two separate programs, each capable of executing up to 40 operations, providing flexibility and efficiency in machining tasks.
This linear controller can be interconnected with multiple units using an 8-pin mini-DIN cable, enabling them to operate in sequence without the need for a computer or master CNC controller. This feature allows for complex operations to be performed seamlessly. Additionally, it can be integrated with existing CNC controllers or daisy-chained with Sherlines rotary controller to achieve combined rotary and linear movements, facilitating sophisticated tasks such as gear cutting without requiring extensive CNC programming knowledge.
The use of a power feed with this controller offers several advantages, including a consistent feed rate that results in a smoother and more uniform finish. It minimizes the risk of errors associated with manual handwheel operation and eliminates the physical effort required for long cuts or returning the saddle to its starting position. Programming is straightforward, and operations can be repeated with high accuracy at the touch of a button.
Note: Ensure proper installation and use as per the provided instructions to avoid operational hazards.
