mill with rotary table questions

Post by Mathes »

Hello all,

last days I have finished my rotary table for my mill, and I have done some smaller tests.
During the test I have some questions in my mind.
At the moment I use no home switch, I home the rotary table with another home switch during the homing process.
Is there any possibility to use the rotary table without a home switch, and the other axes with?
When I use the rotary table the turning is limited to 360 degree, how can I done the setup for multiple turning?

Thanks in advance for your support!
Kind regards
Mathias

Hi Mathias,

I home A axis without a switch, just using M26/A without M92/A L1

What Do you mean with limited to 360° ?

G0 A3600 will make 10 turns, or if you don't want to calculate, G0 A [25x360] will make 25 turns of the rotary
