Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 on Homag Retrofit
« on: December 19, 2022, 04:19:41 PM »
Obtained a Homag P110 CNC Router. It was salvaged and I have refurbished.

It is running well on Homag's controller...but I HATE IT! Does not use standard G-code and because it was salvaged Homag service will not support it. How much support does Mach4 have for EtherCAT devices?

At a high level, it has:

Windows PC operating over EtherCAT
PLC - Beckhoff EK1100
Servos - Rexroth / Bosch (Ethercat)
Spindle - Forgot to look...but operating on EtherCAT

Hi All!  Long time user of Mach3 on my 3-axis mill. Have recently had success setting the mill up on a separate profile to do turning projects. I do not have a tool post, so I set the tools in the vice. My problem is that I must set the tool height with the Y-axis and Mach3 turn doesn't give access to move the Y-axis anywhere that I can find! I have to jump out to Mach3 Mill, set the Y, and then back into Mach3 Turn for every tool change. Have I missed it in the interface? Might there be an addon or wizard that could help? Bonus points if I could set up gang tooling for multiple tools and treat it like a tool changer!
