I am looking at re-controlling a machine that has two parallel "X" axes - one is called X and the other is U.
The machine consists of two parallel sliding tables beneath a single head. The head is mounted to an overhead Y axis and Z axis. Only one sliding table is used while cutting a part. The idea was that one table could be loaded with a new part to process while the other table was being used to cut a part. The existing control, an 11 year old Osai control, has the ability to switch which between the hardware X and U axis. The programs are written only in terms of X,Y, and Z. I believe there is a switch on the console to determine which table will be used prior to the part program being run. My question is: What would be the best way to implement this two "X" axis control scheme with EMC2?
