Live Tool In Turning Centre

Post by Abubakarmemon »

I have a turning center on which I want to install a **Centroid CNC Oak control**. This machine is equipped with **live tooling**, and the live tool is driven by a **servo motor drive**.

I need guidance on how to operate the live tool with this setup. Additionally, if you have any relevant documentation, wiring diagrams, or configuration data related to **Centroid CNC Oak control and live tooling integration**, please share it with me.
Machine Pictures attached.

Looking forward to your expert advice.

As far as I know there is no second independent spindle speed control with Centroid right now.

Workaround is to use outputs to drive the live tooling with preset speeds.
