Hello everyone,

After having designed and manufactured a bench-top CNC milling machine (around 450kg), I set out to make an CNC lathe from a conventional machine, a Linz lathe to be honest. And of course from an MK3.
Can Planet CNC give me some advice on the choice of motors as well as some explanations or diagrams in order to allow the synchronization of the spindle with the other axes?

I don't have the machine yet, but it will be soon.
I plan the following functions:
- Spindle from 0 to 2500 rpm with a 130ST-M15025 type servo motor. This motor must also be able to achieve the C axis if possible, otherwise I would use the original asynchronous motor for turning mode and another motor with a disengageable coupling for the C axis. In this case, I assume that the synchronization with the asynchronous motor should be done with an additional encoder.
- closed loop stepper motors for the X and Z axes.
- Possibility of having rotating tools in turret.
- Put, instead of cranks, impulse wheels in order to keep a manual mode.

Best Regards
