Hi UCCNC User and @cncdrive

Has any UCCNC user has done Multi head spindle in there machine. I have done this multi head using Masso G3 controller and i would like to do this also with UCCNC but i don't know were to start.
I am Using now a AXBB-E controller with this project. Maybe there is any user here that have done this kind of CNC Project.

Here is the video of the machine that i have done (3 spindle head) using Masso G3 controller.

Thank you

Well you could write a macro for it which handles the different spindle speed commands and different start/stop signals for the spindles.
You could wire the analog 0-10Volts output to all 3 spindles and then wire separate start/stop signals and then you could call macros to switch the spindles on/off.
Ofcourse this way you can run the spindles on the same speed one time, because there is one analog output only on the AXBB-E.
I don't know if this limitation is a problem for you or not?

You could also use offsets G54, G55, G56 etc. to switch/select between the offsets of the different spindles.

Thank you for the reply...
How can I assign the tool number for the lift spindle (spindle 1) and ro the right spindle (spindle 2) and the main spindle (center spindle)

Usually on Masso Controller the spindle 1 is assign to tool number 101 and the spindle 2 is tool number 102 and the main spindle is tool number 1 to 100 ( if your spindle is ATC)

Best regards

You need a custom M6 macro that activates the proper spindle based on tool number, and applies the correct offsets for each spindle.

is there UCCNC user that can help me to write this Macro because, i don't have any idea were to start.

I think you should describe exactly how it should work, I mean like: If I press button X then it should do these things, if I press button Y then that should do these things, if I enter a number into this DRO then it should do these things etc., This would make things easier to understand about what you exactly want to achive.

I think you could simply use offsets and switch between them.

Good Day, thank you for the reply. i done this multi spindle on Masso controller and i would like to do this also Using UCCNC Controller.

please see attached picture and video
