MachPro General Discussion / Re: MachPro pricing

It is total travel per Linear Axis. So for an 18 inch license, you can move 18 inches (If in Imperial) on your X axis, your Y axis, and your z axis.

I have forwarded your feedback to leadership. If you have any additional feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 - C82 - PlasmaSensOut - Z axis

So this is a custom setup by CNC4PC. This means that they are not using our logic to handle THC. I would recommend reaching out to them for support, they typically do a great job supporting their customers.

I will not be able to directly tell how they handle torch up and torch down with this. It looks like it is directly editing registers and I am assuming a different file is handling the core logic of how THC is handled with this version.

If you want, I can try to dig into how it's being handled.. Odds are high that the files I would need to look at are compiled as most companies prefer to protect their IP so there might not be much that I can find.. I would need the full Mach folder to attempt this.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: RTCP for a XYZCA (five axes) CNC

Yes, Mach4 is capable of 5-axis kinematics, including RTCP, but it's important to note that it usually requires the Industrial version and often depends on the specific motion controller you are using (like HiCON Integra or Vital Systems)
What are the common challenges faced during setup?

hi
have you ever considered going down the modbus/arduino route. I have recently developed a control station setup using this and it seems to work fine. currently testing it on machine now. If your interested i could send you some details.

Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO
« Last post by TPS on April 22, 2026, 06:58:57 AM »
hello TC,
you can have a look to the screenset i attached.
you can use MachScreen (https://kd-dietz.com/index_eng.html)
from Klaus to modify your screenset.

the basic idea i used in my screenset is to draw all key's you need in the
background picture, the place a transparent button over each key.
the button itselv contains a small basic script. i use a userlabel to add or delete
the individual key to a string.

for example the code for button G:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
SetUserLabel(255,GetUserLabel(255) + "G")
End Sub
does nothing else than adding a "G" at the end of the string and this is done in
each button for the specific letter.

the ENTER Key will have this code:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
  Code GetUserLabel(255)
  SetUserLabel(255,"")
End Sub
does nothing else than excecute the Code witch is in Userlabel(255) and clears Userlabel

the backspace button only cut's the last character of the string:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
SetUserLabel(255, Left(GetUserLabel(255),Len(GetUserLabel(255))-1))
End Sub
and so on.

there is no code check at all because Mach3 will verjfy it.

hope i could point you in the direction of my idea of this permanent "keyboard".

I will give this a try, thank you.
Maybe you could give me an idea of how to place a numeric keyboard on the screen permanently for MDI.
I have a screen with number buttons, that's it so far.
Would you know of anyone who does this for monetary compensation?
After two years of trying myself, it's time to try another way.
Thank you again for your unselfish help and time.
TC

Sorry Thom,

you are right, version of reply #3 is for a MDI input.
i have made so many version's of it so i lost the "track" here.

but is is like a popup window.

in the attached screenset i made a MDI input via touch screen (page 50) years ago.
