Attn Keith or anybody that has info on multi axis machine

Post by JodyH »

Hello Keith or anyone that has info.

I’m wondering would this controller work with an Okuma Macturn 250W. It has a bottom lathe Turret and a B axis 12000 rpm spindle up top with dual c axis spindle.

This is a 9 axis machine with 3 spindle controls.

Will not work with Hickory IMHO.

This will not be a production machine where all 3 spindles will be run at the same time. Only the B axis and c1 or B and c2. The only time either c1 or c2 will be run as a spindle is with the bottom turret and never together unless holding long part. Does that make any difference?? The B axis will never be used as a lathe anymore only the bottom turret for that. They will always be C1 and C2 with the B Axis engaged.

At the moment, two independent spindle controls are not ready implemented.

But if you are ok with 2 spindles and 8 axis, Hickory will do the job with a future update.
