So what happens with this signal if you are using CSS when facing? In that case the spindle speed is changing with the cut diameter. Is there any timetable for diameter mode or is it a case of finding a volunteer? I am contemplating using EMC on my next lathe retrofit. Mach will do most of what I want but currently it is pretty hopeless when it comes to threading. The anticipated setup is: 0.75kW brushless motors for X and Z - not sure if I'll use s/d or analog control yet. It depends if I can re-use the existing Fanuc drives. 7.5kW inverter spindle, driven with an anlog output 2x electronic handwheel (high res MPGs) high resolution spindle encoder. Touch screen. Analog inputs (modified joystick) for FRO + spindle override. Is there an option for separate rapid speed override? Front/rear tool posts - Can EMC handle a rear tool post without using negative coordinates for the rear post? Probably interfaced with a 5i20 card. I have a similar setup using Mach on my current machine.
