Greetings Folks, We have a surface grinder that is fitted with L-CNC and used as a creep-feed machine. We are using steppers with encoders on XYZ and rotary A. It works awesome and we are very pleased with the performance but will likely be putting servos on a second machine that we are beginning to build in an attempt to make it even better, but that is for another day.
What I seek advice on, is adding a robot to load/unload work pieces in our existing machine. Specifically, can we or should we try to run an additional four or five axes from our existing controller? Pros and cons of having a second instance of L-CNC running the robot, and how to have one controller or the other slave? Can anyone point to examples of these or possibly other ideas? Thanks!
