Tormach LLC, creator of the PCNC 1100 3-Axis personal CNC mill, has added another accessory to enhance performance and ease-of-operation.  The new Load Meter (PN 31101) will display real-time spindle load, enabling an operator to visually monitor cutting performance in real-time.

The new load meter can be used to monitor tool wear and troubleshoot both programming and drive performance. The Load Meter consists of a compact plug-in housing with a needle dial that shows spindle load as a real-time display, plus LEDs that light if the spindle is rotating or has faulted.  The meter connects to either the PCNC 1100 Series II mills or any pre-Series II machines with the spindle upgrade package installed.  The spindle upgrade kit is PN 31090.
