This doesn't really sound like a job for a full blown Linuxcnc install, a simple servo control and DRO should be all that's required.

Correct Todd..One is a Milacron 850SX and the Okuma has a Numatix control someone retrofitted before I got it. I think maybe some of the machines he wants to use it on might not be running Linuxcnc.

I have a jumper in one of the connectors that the rotary connects through. If the system doesn?t see the link (via an IO pin) it doesn?t enable the axis. Mine actually f-errors if you try to move the axis, but that would be easy to fix.
