If you set Parameter 131 appropriately (e.g. to 21, for a fourth axis labeled 'B') then you can just leave unconditional B axis commands in your homing macro.

There is then no need for a detection input. You do have to press the F6 key on the Setup menu when you want to turn the axis on and off ...

Ok.
I’ll have to look up these # variables to see what they are for it to make any sense.
Thanks guy’s

I have a mill that some times I use a 4th axis with.
Anyone know how to setup the home file to detect an input to enable or disable B axis?
I have a jumper in my 4th axis plug that turns on the 4th axis drive if it’s plugged in. It also is wired to input #8.
In #8 true = enable “B” and home “B”
In ...

What will happen when the limit is reached?
I have a big order and I’m trying to determine how fast we can cut a successful thread.
It’s 9/16-18 in 12l14 material

What is the fastest an mpu11 can thread on a lathe (spindle rpm) ?

When will your new pricing take effect?

I’ve seen that tech sheet for rethread. On my Fagor you just line up your threading tool with center of thread and then press one button to “learn” thread position.
Takes about 10 seconds and your rethreading. That’s what you guys need.

So it looks like $995 on top of controller cost gets you all options (including C axis).
Now if you would add a re-thread function to the lathe intercon you would be on the level of the other guys.
That's the only thing I see missing on my centroid lathe that my other controllers have.

Anyone know if it’s possible to add “C” axis to centroid lathe without buying the unlock?
I just need to do basic indexing for cutting key ways and splines.
The “C” unlock costs more than the whole controller does.
The cost of a new controller with a “C” unlock puts the control more expensive than ...

Watched the video and look through the manual. Very simple, and more than I need to do. I pm ed you. Hope to get the software for this.
