Re: hobbing in the lathe, is it possible?
Yep, you need Acorn6 or above for using more than one encoder...

Re: Running Acorn6 preview
Uwe - you have two wireless MPG's and what looks like a Z axis MPG. Can you elaborate on how you're using all these, and what the capabilities are with Acorn6? The left WMPG is for my mill, the lathe is just a good place to stick it on... Dual purpose machine, turning and WMPG holding for the mill ...

Re: hobbing in the lathe, is it possible?
You want to slave the C-Axis to the encoder from the live tooling....
I think that is not possible out of the box now.
One other way is to cut starting grooves with the C-Axis and do free rotating hobbing.

Re: 9031 Drive faut and probe issues
You have no Input set for the probe and probe detect.
If you get Drive Fault, the drives are sending ALM to the Drive OK input

Re: Running Acorn6 preview
That looks very good. Do you run Centroid controls on some of your machines at work? Not right now. Our production machines are running +9 axis and 4 spindle drives on synchronized dual channel CNC systems. That is outside Centroids product range as far as I know. But in near future a will get an u...

Y-axis for the lathe ist working now with G2/3 in all planes. Loaded with lots of new features, and it is fast ...
