Hi, Do you know anything about Dynamic Brakes on Lathes? Im needing to fit an emergency stop, like a Dead man Switch, but this must stop the machine instantly! Any Ideas?
Most machines are required to stop within 10 seconds, instantly stopping a lathe with a screw on chuck would be very dangerous as the inertia in the chuck would make it unscrew from the spindle nose.
Have a word with your local electric motor supplier as the braking is usually wired through the motor.
