2 spindel axes Mini swiss Lathe
« on: August 22, 2025, 11:40:47 AM »
Has anyone already driven two spindle axes at different speeds, where one axis, the C axis, can also be set in degrees? It is for a small Swiss-type lathe project. I would like to use the 6-axis controller from CS Labs for this. I would like to use this on Mach 4.

i  am running two spindles on oene of my machines with a IP-S controler.

main spindle in step/dir mode controled via M3/M4/M5
second spindle controled via analog and digital outputs via self written M33/M34/M35 macro's.

only thing is, i am using Mach3 and VB-Script.

no clue with Mach4 and how "good" CS-Lab Mach4 pluging works.
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.
