Kim, I am trying to build industrial machines with EMC. Explaining to client, why do they need to specify S word in g-code file for a welding robot, where it does not make any sense at all, is very very difficult, after I have been telling them, how flexible EMC is. > I'm not sure how that would impact what was request by Viesturs. > If you are using a contactor only for running the spindle then > S speed in G code is not needed which make sense as there is no > way to set a speed. I have a feeling that the main reason, why I asked the initial question, has slipped unnoticed. My main concern is about all those machines, where the "spindle" is some kind of tool, that is not a motor. For example: plasma cutting machines waterjet cutting machines hotwire cutting machines (at least the one of Peter Georgi) laser cutting machines welding robot and many other... And, if properly built, they all can be considered as industrial machines. Chris, thank You very much for the suggestion, I will check it out, when I have a spare moment and will let You know, if any other questions will arise.
