Fanuc controller controlling mach3? | | here is the setup, i'm helping out a buddy with an older cnc machine 80" bed x travel. it has an older fanuc controller that is a 3 axis controller but has the ability to output an m-code to a seperate controller. can mach3 accept an m-code to run a rotary table (at max 4 lines of code there) then relay back to the fanuc controller to continue the milling? we are not looking for a fluid 4'th axis, but one that we can mill on one side, then say rotate 40deg, then do some more milling then bring back to home.
thanks for any input |
