Ok so I have a system with UC400ETH that is running 3 steppers an a lathe, X, Z and C axis.
on C axis I can either connect the regular 3phase motor for conventional turning / facing etc. or the C axis for threading, indexing etc.
Also instead of a regular lathe cutting tool, I have sort of mounted a milling head on the tool post.
For some reason I need to do a test with the Caxis. So I need to keep rotating it endlessly.
While my X and Z axis are controller by the UC400ETH by Mach.
From what I read over its not possible with conventional G code since the controller will get stuck up at that line till the C axis completes the required number of rotations?
But from what I read they said it would be possible with some kind of M code
I hope someone shares some tricks on how to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance!
