What would be impressive is when we can make Linuxcnc run a machine like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9foWK19lHVQ

O100 IF [<_T_number> EQ 103] S1000 $3 O100 ENDIF As a very simplistic example. Note that the converse (hard-coding T to perform spindle changes) would almost certainly break existing configs, which is one reason not to do it. Also, on the machines you are describing the spindles act a lot more like tools than, for example, on a counterspindle lathe. Here is a good example of such a thing, including threading on the second spindle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJov8SdmsS4 -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
