Using a centroid 4th axis for turning
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2022 10:29 pm
Gentlemen,
I. have a Centroid pro mill software on a 4 axis Bridgeport run with an Allin1.
Is there a way that I can use my centroid A axis to act as a lathe head, spinning without regard to position?
What is the maximum rated rpm of the centroid rotary head?
My torque requirements would be low, Likely turning small wooden objects...
If the rotary head cannot be "Position Ignored" Then how do I set it up to run for say, 20 minutes at max speed? Is there a limit to the rotary position counter? Do I have to stop and unwind periodically? How do I know if the "spring is wound too tight"?
See my report file in the previous post, Please
Thanks, Mike
