It had a couple issues with it when we picked it up that made us want to do a Retrofit on it. Firstly th...

Re: Spindle slaving with gear ratio for Fast tapping and polygonal Turning
Posting to stay informed on this topic.
This would also be e super useful not only for mill-turn machines but also gear hobs and other highly synchronized operations.

Re: ATC for Mori Seiki Lathe
Our Hitachi Seiki slant bed has a hydraulic tool changer. I mapped out all the functions and had the wires connected and ready. Mark (cncsnw) programmed the PLC. Wise $ spent.

Two Servos, One Axis
Are there any pitfalls with using two servos to contribute to one axis of motion? Example is one servo driving a milling quill downward and the second, driving the knee upward. Goal is maximizing available travel. Centroid already supports dual servos for bridge mill / gantry type situations. Nice. ...
