Sherline CNC Linear Controller w/ 15″ Leadscrew (Metric)

• Sherline CNC Linear Controller w/ 15″ Leadscrew (Metric)
• Empowers precise control over stepper motors
• Stores two programs with up to 40 operations each
• Integrates seamlessly with CNC systems or works independently
• Simplifies gear cutting with rotary controller
• Ensures smoother, more uniform finishes

The Sherline CNC Linear Controller w/ 15″ Leadscrew (Metric) is a sophisticated device designed for machines that are not CNC-ready, providing precise control over stepper motors. This stand-alone controller is equipped with a programmable keypad, allowing users to manage the stepper motor’s functions effectively. It is particularly suitable for driving the leadscrew of a Sherline lathe, offering seamless integration with existing CNC systems or functioning independently without a master CNC controller.

The controller supports user-programmable operations, with the capability to store two separate programs, each comprising up to 40 operations. Users can control various parameters such as distance, direction, speed, and program flow, enhancing the flexibility and precision of machining tasks. The device can be interconnected with other units using an 8-pin mini-DIN cable, enabling sequential operations without the need for a computer. Additionally, it can be combined with Sherline’s rotary controller to facilitate complex tasks like gear cutting, simplifying the process for users unfamiliar with CNC programming.

Utilizing this linear controller offers several advantages, including a consistent feed rate that ensures a smoother and more uniform finish. It minimizes errors associated with manual operations and eliminates the physical effort required for lengthy cuts or resetting the machine. The programming process is straightforward, and operations can be repeated with high accuracy at the press of a button, making it an efficient tool for precision machining.

Note: Ensure proper installation and use according to the provided instructions to avoid operational hazards.
