Give support a call/email. They can get you ordering information. 🙂 ---

You can pre-order one. I ordered mine a couple weeks ago. Will ship when all the parts are in. ---

Emailed support for a quote. How is the ATC development going? Any tidbits, like how many tools will be held? ---

I can’t share a whole lot yet, but I will say this: We’re doing lots of design, ordering lots of prototype parts, and experimenting with a lot of things. This is shaping up to be a VERY good ATC system with a lot of redundancy/automation you don’t see in other systems. We’ll have more to share soon! ---

Do you need compressed air right away to run this spindle, or can you add compressed air later if you decide to take advantage of the automatic tool changing features? ---

All of the info you’ll need is here: > **[AV70S 7HP Smart Spindle / VFD System | Avid CNC](https://www.avidcnc.com/av70s-7hp-smart-spindle-vfd-system-p-1463.html)** > > The AV Series Smart Spindles represent one of the most exciting advancements in Avid CNC's history. > > These spindles optimize manual tool changes, improve safety, and simplify the setup/upgrade process while offering full ATC capability when paired... The AV40 is essentially the same as the 70, it’s just got a smaller electric motor in it. ---

Hi Eric, One thing I can’t seem to find in any of the AVxxS documentation is the pinout and specs for the two electrical connectors. Seems like all the other info is there on both of the new spindles. ---

For anyone else reading: > **[CNC Spindle Systems | Avid CNC](https://www.avidcnc.com/cnc-spindle-systems-c-62_63.html)** > > CNC Spindles and Cutting Systems You can now add AV40 and 70 spindles to your cart (RFQ) on the website and with a machine now.

Eric, there’s an 8-pin M12 connector that seems to take power to the spindle currently but doesn’t connect into the EX box. Is that eventually going to connect to the EX controller once the full ATC is ready to go? ---

Yes, on full ATC systems we’ll send 24 volts out there without requiring a wall adapter. ---

Excellent! Super excited for the full kit and kaboodle!
