The B Axis can be locked but also rotate freely for full simulatanious 5 axis milling.
The milling spindle in the B-axis can be locked in 12 positions for broaching and turning or rotate freely as a milling spindle.

I don't THINK that TCP needs to be applied for turning. To be honest im not particular sure. I know from a metal working perspective that an endmill can have z and x tool-offsets and turning tools can have x/y/and z. How and if that needs to be incorperated into the kinematic...?

Here is a link to see the machine in operation to get a better understanding what is possible:


Machining starts at roughly 4:51
Its a rather simple part for a Millturn but it gives at least a rough understanding of the operation of such a machine.

Tomorrow i wil work more with Fusion and the Doosan millturn PP and see what else of proprietary G-code will be posted.

Hi, i have a similar problem with my RPi5 and GPIO but I think I/(the AI that helped me) screwed up with the .hal-File. Do you (or anyone) mind to put your working .hal here so I can see how it is done?

All available hal components work with s/u32 pins
There is no point in having 16bit numbers from ethercat, because to connect to subsequent components they will have to be converted to 32bit anyway by loading additional components to convert 16->32.
The LCEC component does this automatically in the XML configuration.  pdoentry

In practice, there will probably never be any memory problems, as the number of pdos and sm is quite limited.

There have also been suggestions in the forum to make all HAL pins 64bit for standardisation, as encoders have a problem with overflowing 32bit numbers.
