Main and second spindle
7.9 Main and second spindle
This CNC can handle 2 spindles: a main spindle and a second spindle. They both can be operative
simultaneously, but only one can be controlled at a time. This selection is made using functions G28
and G29. See programming manual.
Next, the steps to be followed when using two spindles are described.
Graphic editor
Set general parameters AXIS1 (P0) through AXIS8 (P7) with the desired valures. A value of "10"
for the main spindle and 14 for the second spindle.
Set the corresponding machine parameters for each spindle.
Spindle selection
On power-up, the CNC always selects the main spindle.
All the keyboard actions and by spindle related functions affect the main spindle.
Example: S1000 M3
Main spindle clockwise at 1000 rpm
To select the second spindle, execute function G28.
From then on, All the keyboard actions and spindle related functions affect the second spindle.
The main spindle remains in its previous status.
Example: S1500 M4
Second spindle turns counterclockwise at 1500 rpm.
The main spindle keeps turning at 1000 rpm
To select the main spindle again, execute function G29.
From then on, all the keyboard actions and spindle related functions affect the main spindle.
The second spindle stays in its previous status.
Example: S2000
The main spindle keeps turning clockwise but at 2000 rpm.
The second spindle keeps turning at 1500 rpm.
