Re: [Emc-users] Swiss Type Lathe-Turn Machine

I believe the Machinekit people have the LinuxCNC code reworked to the point they can have multiple instances running together, but they still have a lot of other rough edges. For now, probably two CPU's would be advisable. The new option of running LinuxCNC on ARM's, such as the RaspberryPi 3

Re: [Emc-users] Swiss Type Lathe-Turn Machine

Sounds like a pain to set up. I think 2 separate controls running separate programs, synchronized with digital i/o, might be simpler and have more potential. - Original Message - From: "andy pugh" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"

Re: [Emc-users] Swiss Type Lathe-Turn Machine

If you look at an old swiss cam auto then the concept of interleaved moves was exactly how they optimised the speed of the cycle. On my Bechler the tooling is on separate slides with accessory live axes opposite the spindle. Dave Caroline

[Emc-users] Swiss Type Lathe-Turn Machine

I have got a machine equipped with two spindles. Spindle 1 has gang tools which can move in X,Y plain (Y axis to select tool) and Bar comes out as Z axis. Second spindle is mounted on moving platform (table X2, Z2 axis). Two or Three set of tools are fixed on the side which can be used with

[Emc-users] Use Fanuc Servos & Amps with EMC2

Hi:   Is there a simple solution that some one has developed allowing EMC2 to connect to the Fanuc  drives and red cap motors?  A MESA board or something like that that could be wired inbetween like a converter?   I was looking through the achieves and noticed lots of issues but stopped after

Re: [Emc-users] installation

Andy, I misread the guide. I installed the package with the live CD in section 3.4 and then went on to section 3.7.1, thinking I was supposed to do that in addition, when I should have been done. I will just start over. Thank you for your time. Bart On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 11:31 AM, Bart
