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" <bodge...@gmail.com> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, December 5, 2016 1:02:59 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Swiss Type Lathe-Turn Machine

Considering that a Swiss Lathe is intended for making parts in the thousands, it is probably practical to write optimised G-code that can handle breaking up and interleaving moves. Imagine a time-line of moves, you break things up into sections at the points where any axis starts or stops and use G93 inverse-time-mode to make the segments take the right length of time. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
