double clamp movement system was created by fehim
hello all,
I have a project with linuxcnc for a wood drilling project. it using two clamps for the moving of a wood material. These clamps should keep and release this material until the limit value then it should go back respectively. How can I handle with this problem??

Can you provide more information?
Are the clamps on an axis controlled by linuxcnc? Where does the "limit value" come from? Are the clamps handled from gcode?

Maybe a picture of the setup could help.

I would look to do this either with a G-code subroutine or with a custom HAL component.
But I suspect that Classic Ladder would also be an option.

What manner of actuator moves the clamps?

           We have 2 servo motors connected to clamps that move synchronously in the x-axis. We want to advance the product by holding it with at least one without ever leaving it. For this, using the moveoff component, we first open the first clamp and go as far as the advance amount and close the clamp. Then we do the same for the second clamp. While there is no problem in the first drive, the moveoff motors stop giving output at a random point in the second drive. Is there any way to solve this problem? Or is there a way to stepwise drive two synchronous motors other than moveoff? Or can we define two separate axes for two motors and then make them move synchronously?
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/moveoff.9.html

any help will be appreciated. Thank you

I don't think that Moveoff as the way to do this, at all. (It wasn't one of the three options that I suggested...)

It might be a good use for "extrajoints" but that option only exists in Master (the development version) linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/motion.9.html

I think that it would probably make sense to define your clamps as axes U and V and control them via a G-code routine.
