Hello!
First thak you Jon Elson for information about EMC and STG2 board.
Now I´m decided to use EMC to retrofit my mill.
Maybe I should give some background what i do and which kind of
machines i have.
I have Gildemeister N.E.F 480 cnc lathe (max diam 480mm or
220x1000mm)it is made 1978 and it have
Fanuc mate-L control. The lathe is wery rigid and it have lot of
power (11kW) but the control is quite expensive to service and
repair.
Also I have 3axis knee type NC-milling machine which have old
Ljumo PNC-63 (position numerical control.Machine castings are made
1991 in russia (german machine copy) electrical installation made in
germany (whit slovenian made control)(it maybe quite difficult to get
spare parts).
Old control do not even have linear interpolation and I am going to
replace it and install EMC on it.
I have also manual gear hobber (table diam. 40 inch) manual mill
(Swedish made KOPINGS made in 1944)manual tool grinder BLOMH (made
1943) and manual lathe WARD.
I´m making mainly tooling for local aircraft industry but i make
small batch real parts for aircrafts and even space satellites.
The mill have servos(analog.+-10v) in all axes and I just bought VDF
for spindle (3kW also +-10v controled).
Mill also have pretty accurate linear measuring scales (which have
RS422 quadrature pulses)
I think if (when) I get milling machine ready I replace that old
fanuc also.
As I make my living whit thease machines I don´t want keep them out
of production so I try get EMC running first before I disconnet old
control.
I order new computer but I´m not sure which Linux version I should use
and I also wonder if there are Cd´s which contain all needed software
?
Can someone tell me do EMC support electronic jog handwheel ?
How many axes (linear/rotary) EMC supports ?
And Jon Elson I would be interested to have E-stop and other boards
that you have made so if you make ready or kit boards´s let me know it
Thanks for your help !
