    How is OneCNC for mill/turn programming?

    I just noticed that OneCNC has modules for mill/turn programming. Has anyone used it? How are the posts? Would there be any issue with programming a machine with 2 turrets and 2 spindles (like a Mazak Integrex 200)?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    I've only played a bit with single axis, single turret mill/turn, and I think that is basically what it is built to handle.

    Now that is not saying the possibilities stop there: with imagination, you might be able to do two spindle, and get code from two unique posts set up for each spindle. But I don't think the simulation would show the full fledged machine motions from both ends of the part like one would want when proving out a program of this nature.

    You'd have to talk to the sales guys who should be up on this stuff to know for sure.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Dan, I would be very cautious, OneCNC does not support true twin spindle twin turret operation. That said you could just splice programs together.

    Thanks for the reply. I won't be going any farther with this.
