General Mach Discussion / 4th Axis - How do I constantly rotate it?
« on: March 16, 2009, 08:34:48 PM »
just added a 4 axis to my system. This axis is a rotary head / divider.
I want to turn it on so that it continues to rotate at a constant speed while Mach3 runs my program (g-code).
In other words I want to use the rotary head like a lathe head.
So how do I program the 4th axis to turn on at the beginning of my g-code file, then turn off at the end?
Any suggestions? Thanks.
