dual tool on a 4 axis plasma table, torch/drill motor on z
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2024 1:26 pm
Hi everybody,
I am fixing to convert my torchmate growth series 4x4 to a centroid controller. My question is can I have 2 z axis heads, ie... my plasma torch on one and a drill motor/spindle on another and switch between them while havin an independant slave motor on the y axis for squaring, with the acorn board? Or will I have to connect both y axis motors together and operate as one axis.
I have searched and am unable to come up with anything that addresses this specifically.
Thanks in advance
Jared
