C Axis as Second Spindle was created by richcolvin
I am looking for guidance on how to setup the C axis as a second spindle. This is for a
rose engine lathe
(otbok.info/index.php?n=Main.RoseEngineLathe) where we need to use:
The end goal is to drive the spindle and the C axis simultaneously, but specifying a relationship percentage for their rotational speeds. For example,
- the Spindle to rotate the piece, and
- the C axis to rotate the rosettes used to impart the design
The end goal is to drive the spindle and the C axis simultaneously, but specifying a relationship percentage for their rotational speeds. For example,
RPM of the C-axis = x% of RPM of the Spindle
Is there some documentation I can read which describes
- How to setup LinuxCNC to treat the C-axis as a secondary spindle, and
- The G-code I would use.

Have you had a look at the included rosekins?
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/rosekins.9.html
There is is a sim config:

I did not realize that was there. I will look into it. Thank you.
