This is the model above our agent sold to my boss...
this is the model i need to convert so that i can ...

Take a piece from main spindle,(left)
Pass it over to the Sub spindle,(right)
Hold it with both spindles,
Then lathe a thread along the work piece (now sitting between both spindles).
Cut it FREE from Main spindle,
Sub spindle with work piece (W) now moves home and away,
leaving the Robot to go into the machine to retrieve the finished piece from the Sub spindle, (yes there will be a small piece left in the main spindle, this i can remove with the robot or machine)

How Do i convert this model to do what i want?
i cant see how i would fit G141 into this as i want to use the Sub spindle when i create the thread.
Please help out a newbie with no help.
piece needs to be done and our agent is not replying to me.
i have to say he is a good guy and helpful but he just aint there for me as much as i would like.

We Have this option on our Multus B400W
what option do You have?
M110 L spindle C axis mode ON
why You need C axis?
are You sure, that M889 and M888 are usable here? I'm asking, because I don't know. I imagine this operation quite different way.
You need to have possibility to synchronize both already synchronized to each other spindles to Z feed to cut thread that way. Are You sure, that You have that option on Your machine?

[BarnabyRudge]

Well we dont need C really but we could certainly use
VCPHH=90 Specify phase diff L-R spindle 90 degrees.

this model i have originaly written in my first thread question simply is the model purchased for the machine.
every code you see here SHOULD be fully functional.
all we need to do i guess is hold with both spindles and then set them in rotation synchronised.

Okay my Agent Contact has called me, i knew he would.
it appears this is the model we should be using to lath a thread between the 2 spindles.

Multus will ALWAYS have C axis. C axis Sync is an option. I have turned a center in the sub spindle and used torque skip to seat the center and driven the part with the main. You might be able to do the same, not with a center but clamped with the sub. Beware this will be hard on the main spindle.

hi, i am newbie of the multus. the shop i am working at now just bought a multus B250ii, they want me to turn and milling a part between both spindle. i would like to know more about how and what Gcode need to be in the program for mmilling between sync spindle.

[deadlykitten]

hy manhtranc

they want me to turn .... a part between both spindle

both spindles must have found their S origin, so jog each spindle ( or turn each one by hand ), just a couple of revolutions, like 2-3 max spins, so to get rid of CD****

manual mode, clamp your part with both chuck

G140
G50 S2000
M151 M210 M883
G97 S250 M03
if it works, then continue with normal turning codes

and milling a part between both spindle

manual mode, clamp each chuck with individual parts, thus don't use long part yet

G140
M110
M892

if it works, then more codes and parameter related to C origins, are needed before using normal milling codes ( i will try to help you with them ); if it does not work, pls share error and image with setup ( will try an alternative method ) / kindly
