Sherline Linear to Rotary Controller Conversion

• Sherline Linear to Rotary Controller Conversion
• Manages stepper motor operations seamlessly
• Program directly via built-in keypad
• Connects units in daisy-chain easily
• Handles up to 40 operations per program
• Integrates with rotary controller for complex tasks

The Sherline Linear to Rotary Controller Conversion is a sophisticated device designed to manage the operations of a stepper motor through a programmable interface. This controller is equipped with its own keypad, allowing users to input commands directly without the need for a computer or a master CNC controller. It offers the capability to connect multiple units using an 8-pin mini-DIN cable in a ‘daisy-chain’ configuration, enabling them to signal each other and perform sequential operations efficiently.

This controller is highly versatile, as it can be integrated with existing CNC controllers or used independently. It supports user programming with two distinct programs, each capable of handling up to 40 operations. Within each operation block, users have the ability to control various parameters such as distance, direction, speed, and the flow of the program, including pauses or automatic progression to subsequent blocks.

Furthermore, the linear controller can be combined with Sherline’s rotary controller to facilitate complex operations that require both rotary and linear movements. This feature is particularly beneficial for tasks such as gear cutting, where precise coordination of movements is essential. The controller’s design simplifies the process, eliminating the need for extensive CNC programming knowledge, as all necessary inputs can be managed through the intuitive keypad interface.

Note: Ensure proper handling and installation to avoid electrical hazards.
