Having just done a test-shape the only difficulty is that PathPilot uses the format T0101 to say that it wants tool 01 and offset 01. The Tormach Slant-Pro post processor (naturally) does support lathes, and the slant-pro runs PathPilot which is a slightly-modified LinuxCNC. The emc and linuxcnc post-processors do not support lathe at the moment. I've already got the Autodesk people making me a custom post for the obsolete Fanuc on the EMCO, so I don't want to say sorry I switched to LinuxCNC so make me a new post for that. I'm pretty much married to Fusion360, so I want to know if the G code is in the same format as one of their existing post processors, like Tormach or HAAS or modern Fanuc. I'm still figuring out whether LinuxCNC will work for me or not.

The turret may be a challenge but at least a couple of people have been able to get it going and there is a Boxford ATC component in the HAL library that should serve as a starting point. My conclusion so far is that I can reuse most of the existing electronics while ripping out the control bits and replacing with Mesa hardware. The spindle is controlled by a Lenze 8202-E vector drive and as others have documented it is fitted with an encoder. ), and the stepper drivers take differential input. The motor used for the axis is a VRDM366/50LHA ( It turns that at some point (my revision is A6P_V01) Emco ditched the 5-phase steppers in favor of 3-phase as can be seen in the electrical documentation ( Please note that while I am generally reasonably technical and comfortable tearing the back panel open and reading documentation, I am not an expert in LinuxCNC nor in motion control in general, so posting here in hopes that others, who know more than I do can help me double check my work before I let the magic smoke out of any of this since after-all as much as I hate the older WinNC software, it is working.
