LinuxCNC & 2 routers

Hi! Please advise is it possible to control two independent routers at the same time? Both spindles will cut one part just from different sides (one from left side second one from right side).

Thanks in advance!

The answer is a definite maybe.

Whether or not it can be done depends on what exactly the machines configuration is, and what exactly you want to achieve.

I have done machines with multiple Z axis (Z and W) each with a router, on shared X and Y axis.
if you need to have independent axis for X and Y you could add U and or V.

Do you need left and right to be mirror of each other?

It can all get very complicated, with a lot of little caveats. Such as G64 blending doesn't totally work with axis other than XYZ.

But at a certain point, comes the question of whether or not you might be better off with 2 completely separate machines.

It all comes down to how clever you can be with some of the little details.

>>> Do you need left and right to be mirror of each other?
Interested to cut holes and pockets in wood logs. axis can not be mirrored

>>> It can simultaneously move up to 9 axes and supports a variety of interfaces.
is it possible theoretically to drive even 3 routers?

Another problem with using extra axis like UVW is that you can't to things like G2 and G3 moves.in those planes.
