Hello! I was asked about possible retrofit of Deckel FP4MA milling machine. I found several forum threads about these machines and everything seemed clear to me except that the machine I saw has one motor for Y and Z axis - there are hydraulic clutches that select which axis to move, but I did not notice such a setup mentioned in other retrofits.
So I wanted to ask if anyone has done that previously and how to handle that in config. Can those clutches be operated automatically or would that require some M commands in g-code file (special attention would be needed to make sure that g-code does not contain moves for Y and Z simultaneously)? I cannot imagine how to handle it automatically because there might be attempts to blend motion in YZ plane.
