Mesa Firmware for 7i80+7i77+7i85+7i78 - Gildemeister CTX400E was created by Henk
HI
(PCW), would it be possible to make the following bit files for a 7i80DB?
7i77+7i78+7i85?
7i77+generic 5ax breakout+7i85
I have a 7i85, 7i77 and 7i80 on hand, and i will order a 7i78 today.
I was lucky to get a Gildemeister CTX400E at a good price and it arrived at our shop this week. As we only allow Linuxcnc machines in our shop, it is time for a retrofit....
The machine is equipped with a sub-spindle and live tooling. Both spindles and the live tool motor must be able to be controlled in position mode since the spindles will become a C axis at some point and the live tool motor also indexes the turret.
so in total, i will be using: 3 stepgens, 6 analog servo interfaces, 6 encoders +1 for the mpg. The above combination would be more than adequate and i can add sserial boards to expand IO
The hardware i have for the spindles can be controlled with analog 0-10v for spindle application, and step/dir input for position control.
Thanks
