Jon;
If you get this could you please send a quick reply to confirm I'm on the
right track.
I am new to Emc-users and just getting started with a EMC-Lathe conversion.
I posted the following last week with on responses; not shure if I did it
correctly.
If you know someone with answers to any to the following questions, please
help:
I am convertibg a lathe to CNC with stepper drives.
The lathe has Linear Encoders on the X and Z axises.
I can get this positions data into the computer via the PCI buss.
Does anyone know if the EMC software can use this accurate position data
to position the cutter tool? If so how to configure EMC?
If NOT, does anyone know where in the source code to add the ability to
move the cutting tool to this accurate target position?
This will correct all the Lathe backlash, springing and pushing against
the cutter?
Thanks in advance,
Don
