Re: Multiple spindle control

Thank you Doug. I think this will work for my needs. I will give it shot anyway and will purchase you BB 4axis unit soon.

Re: Multiple spindle control

In this case I am wanting to use 2 small 500W 0.5Kw air cooled spindle motors with spindle speed power converters. I could use VFDs if it would work better with them. I'm still designing this particular CNC and am very interested in your controller.

Thanks for replying. An example of what I want the controller to do is. Turn on spindle #1 bore a hole, shut off. The carriage then move spindle #2 into position, turn on and using a thread mill thread the hole that was bored out using spindle #1. Since the spindle control is wired through the 25pin...

Multiple spindle control

Hi, I’m in the middle of designing a CNC that will at least 3 spindle motors. Can the controller run at least 3 spindles separately? Can it be set up to turn on, shut off and control running speed for each spindle motor?
