M6 and Spindle Stop - How not to stop spindle with M6?
« on: November 12, 2023, 09:05:12 AM »
I have a machine with 4 spindles. For the tool offsets I'm using M52 commands im M6 macro.
All four spindles are driven with the same frequency inverter
All is working fine  :)
I'm using M6 Tx command to automatically set correct M52 offset in my G-code.
The only problem is that M6 automatically shut down spindle when it is executed.
This I do not need since I do not change the tool "phisically" in any spindle)
At the end  of my M6 macro (G52 offset) I need to turn spindle again On (or in my G-code after M6 command)
That makes delays in my work  ;D

Is there any option to set Mach3 not to shut down spindle when calling M6?
(Also the completely empty M6 macro shut down the spindle)

Thanks
