Hi Ulf
If you have money for a dmg machine of this new age, maybe emc is not
what you need.
That's what I'm trying to figure out. At present state I do not really
know how much EMC might save me, probably 20k EUR. Depending on how
difficult the conversion would be this could be worth it
The basic question I guess is would EMC be able to provice the same tool
path quality as the (lower end) Siemens or Heidenhain controllers?
You should run EMC in simulator mode, and use halscope or halstreamer
to record all the joint positions to disk. Then you can analyze this
data later for

Gentlemen,
I have a prox for tool change zero return (to home the chain of pots) and
a prox to count the pots during chain motion
The chain moves slow - between 1 and 2 pots per second
The chain matrix carries 30 pots
This is a random tool changer - the pot swings down and a transfer arm

Does the zero pot also trigger the PotCount pin?

I did pretty much the same thing on my Mazak but hung the router
co-axially with the spindle. It does impressive things in wood.

Hi
Would they sell this bare bones?
Well, as far as I know yet, no. So I'd have to buy an unnecessary
controller.
Since it wouldn't make much sense to pay for the control and then not use it.
Right, the only good think would be that I could use the new mill
immediately as a 3+2 axes mill

I see you have an empty base-thread, run the Halscope in that, trigger

John,
like I said - lacking intelligence is the problem

works like a charm

Is the out_width_ns parameter of the edge component zero?
Any positive value (even 1 nanosecond) will result in the component
producing an output pulse that is at
Lack of intelligence is not the problem - strange (and as far as I
know undocumented) behavior of the edge component is. IMHO, for
any value of out_width_ns from zero to the thread period, it should
generate an output pulse of one period, not two.
