PoKeys / Pokeys57CNC Step / Dir Spindle and Spindle misused as 4th axis for toolchange
« on: January 20, 2016, 04:59:59 PM »
Hello,
I try to exchange the control of an old Emco mill with automatic toolchange.
The mill spindle is driven by an DC Servo with step / dir control.
The spindle moves the tool change wheel - so it is necessary to have the posibility to use the spindle for positioning.
The spindle works as an ordinary axis (axis A).
So my problems are at the moment:
how to get the DC servo work as a spindle?
I tryed SwapAxis(3, 6) but I didn´t get the spindle working
I would be glad for any help
