Is the output turning off in Mach3?

That is not possible unless you run the 4th axis with a pulse generator and use Mach to switch it on and off, an Arduino would work to drive the 4th axis and signals for stop and start and also rotation speed.

Its hard to say without knowing a bit more. But

Mach3 and Mach4 are 6 axis controllers but all axis are blended together so both ends would start and finish at the same time.

Maybe one end could use X axis and the other Y axis and centre height could use Z axis.

but if it faces and centres with more than one tool then its not going to be easy.  If you use a spot drill with a facing and chamfering cutter in one then I can see it working.

The other option is you use Mach4 Industrial and 2 Galils and use the multi planner option where each end runs a separate g-code file with wait codes to sync them.  Its a wild ride at first but well worth the flexibility you get.

When you say it fails, do you get a high pitch noise or just the axis stops moving?


Some pictures of the control and motor tuning window will help

Have you checked the hotkeys settings on the config menu

We need more detail.

e.g. USB, IP, LPT, breakout board and motion controller etc.

You are missing the direction signal to the drivers or you have no dir pin/port set in the config
