emco compact 5

[carpa1970]

good morning, kindly, I need some advice!

I already have a (Chinese) servo motor that I would like to use as a spindle for a small lathe (Emco compact 5 cnc)!

which board should I buy to have M3, M4 control of the spindle servo with the ability to run G76 and G84 on the lathe?! if possible, also run the small original ATC 6 tools

thank you

The servo motor driver interface will determine what sort of control signals are needed.

The tool changer is a rachet mechanism run by a small motor. You will need to write a macro to sequence operations.

G76 threading operations rely on spindle position feedback to synchronize Z axis movement to the spindle, not the other way around. Threading does not utilize spindle speed control to do this.

I suggest you join this forum for lots of useful information:
