Gents..
Moment has come.. I've tryed everything and still could not get our old lathe running . Time to retro..
Wondering if someone implemented linux cnc / servo / linear scales? Any suggestions?
The turret is hydraulic with encoder , 12 tools , how can this be implemented into EMC..? how to recalibrate the turret rotation?
regards

Plenty of info and people who have done it. You will need to give us more info on what type and communication they use, also more info on the turret, like does it have index/encoder signals or gray scale encoding, how many sensors and what exactly they do, etc.

Hello to all .
The lathe used rotary encodes connected to each ball screw..
the turret is hydraulic, 2 solenoid valves , one releases the turret from the lock and the other one rotates it..the turret is connected to a encoder , via timing belt, the encoder seems that it is inc. a/b with M ( index I assume )
Pretty much straight forward.. the linears and au signals are piece of cake.. not sure how to handle the turret?
Thank you
Peter

It sounds like the turret might be most conveniently configured as a rotary axis with "locking indexer" enabled, and then a G-code remap so that M6 becomes a rotary axis move to calculated angle.
But other possibilities exist if you would prefer to not have the turret appear as a jog-able axis in the GUI.
