General Mach Discussion / Basic 2 Motor Single Axis
« on: March 07, 2011, 01:57:04 PM »
Hi,
I need some basic information about your software before I begin my project. I hope to build a lathe like machine that will have only 2 stepper motors inline on the same axis. My requirement is that both motors will spin at the same rpm (in opposite directions) under one routine and one motor will spin a certain number of turns in any particular direction while the other remains stationary in another routine. That is pretty much all that it needs to accomplish. I want that each routine is able to be manually initiated and controlled because the process requires manual intervention during the process.
I am not at all familiar with CNC but it looks like the software is far more advanced than i need. I am alright with that as long as it can do this basic requirement but if there is a less advanced version it would be ideal. Any recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated.
