Tormach PCNC 1100 Series 3 Mill ClearPath Servo Upgrade with PathPirate

[@cogentdynamics]

That would be a very cool upgrade to the 440!

Great video. Very detailed. I was surprised you did not need the Teknic Power supply with this mod.

[@AlexZonin]

The PathPirate card has DC-to-DC stepdown to 24V

[@snowgoer540]

Correct Bill, Tormach doesn’t use teknics power supply either for their MX machines

[@zilogfan]

Awesome video! The Tormach stationary 8" rotary is the biggest hold up on my workflow. Does anyone talk about servo-ing this old thing along with the mill?

[@snowgoer540]

It’s not currently on my “to-do” list, as I think it might be pretty niche, but it is certainly possible. I think I remember seeing a video or a forum post where someone did this.

Great video

I had to upgrade to a new Tormach computer on my 1100 series 3. Would this upgrade still be possible?

[@AlexZonin]

Yes, should be doable. Reach out to Greg to confirm the details

[@petrasvestartas4359]

Is there a version to control directly 6 motors?

[@Cutgator-ps7sk]

can that path pilot add new centroid acorn 6

[@Rhine_Labs]

Nice..
