Title: Running Multiple Machines from One Computer
Post by: dmedlin1963 on April 18, 2012, 10:38:50 AM

Is it possible to run multiple Mills and Lathes from one computer, from a software perspective. The hardware and cabling configurations aren't what I'm worried about. Would I just have differnet profiles or multiple copies of Mach3 for each machine.

I just don't have the room left in my shop for a computer, monitor, keyboard, pendant, mouse, etc. It would be less cluttered up with one rolling work station. The breakout boards and everything else are located inside of each machine's old controller box

You can use separate profiles no problem :)

Thanks for the info I'll move in that direction.
