Hi to all.
I have looked through all the docs I could find on the PlanetCnC site, but have not found the info I am after. I am building a small CNC Slant bed Lathe, with the spindle drive being a high speed closed loop servo (2KW), capable of accurate positioning as well - to 0.08 degrees.
The servo drive is a step/direction drive and can do 2500RPM @ 500KHz frequency of the STEP pulse train. I am unable to find what is the max frequency that the Mk3 controller can send on step/direction output.
I also wish to use the spindle motor as the C axis for Live Tooling operations - can the Mk3 board handle this - ie, support the motor as Spindle main motor AND C axis position servo ( not simultaneously, obviously..)
Then in the same trend, can the Mk3 module support live tooling, eg, a high speed milling head moving in conventional lathe X/Y axis, but also in the vertical plane,ie, as in a conventional mill, while controlling the C Axis?
Thank You!
Regards
Joe
