General Mach Discussion / 4th axis
« on: December 01, 2010, 05:19:26 PM »
I want to build a 4th axis for my mill I would like to drive it with a ac servo motor. I'm running my machine with an AJAXCNC dc3io kit. It uses a mach3 plugin to run and it works well. I do not know how to add the 4th axis to my setup. Ajax offers a 1 axis expansion plc but it's for a brushed dc servo. I need to know if I can run ajaxcnc's plugin and also use a modbus device or something to run the 4th axis.
