How is OneCNC for mill/turn programming?

[Dan B]

I just noticed that OneCNC has modules for mill/turn programming. Has anyone used it? How are the posts? Would there be any issue with programming a machine with 2 turrets and 2 spindles (like a Mazak Integrex 200)?

Thanks,

Dan

Anyone? Hello, is this thing on (tap, tap, tap)?

I've only played a bit with single axis, single turret mill/turn, and I think that is basically what it is built to handle.

Now that is not saying the possibilities stop there: with imagination, you might be able to do two spindle, and get code from two unique posts set up for each spindle. But I don't think the simulation would show the full fledged machine motions from both ends of the part like one would want when proving out a program of this nature.

You'd have to talk to the sales guys who should be up on this stuff to know for sure.

Dan, I would be very cautious, OneCNC does not support true twin spindle twin turret operation. That said you could just splice programs together.

Thanks for the reply. I won't be going any farther with this.
