To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"
<[email protected]>
Hello Robert,
Have you ever thought about making the 5th axis to your Heiz machine? The
Heiz controller is capable for 4 axis, and with another LPT port and
controller and step motor would it be possible to drive the 5th axis? What
do you think?
Best Regards,
Peter
I can see no reason why not, except maybe the difficulty of generating
gcode from cad to drive it.
EMC can handle up to 6 axes.
I do not have a reason for a 5th. axis on my machine.
What do you want to use it for ?
Best regards,
Robert
