INTEGRATED SPINDLE LOAD METER
(with per-file and per-tool graphing)

This load meter displays right on your main screen and shows calibrated Load, Amperage and Watts.

Hardware installation takes less than five minutes, is completely non-intrusive and quickly removable.

The software is copying less than five files over and rebooting the machine.

Not only do you get the load meter, but you get a graphing utility where you can graph your load across time. You can graph individual NC programs (show me the load of widget.top.ops.nc and widget.bottom.ops.nc) and individual tools (show me the load of all usage for T125).

If you think the below price is expensive, for comparison, Tormach sells an analog-only meter, that does not interface with PathPilot at all, has no graphing capability, requires invasive installation and is only compatible on certain, older machines for $152 + shipping.

The software-only option below will include all required code and a BOM to source the parts you'll need. You do have variable options and don't have to select exactly what I use, but in the end, they're all the same.
