General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach not completing moves ?

« on: September 11, 2007, 10:02:25 PM »

do you have CV on Could you show me a SMALL (5 lines or less) bit of code where you see this problem? I think you are seeing CV rounding and that we need to have a look at some of the CV setings...
I think we can fix this no problem!
thanks

This will make the Blending of the moves happen at Blend feedrate... But the problem is that on some tables this will make the movements seem jerky when this is added... But it will make it so that you have smaller rounding in the corners.

Thanks

You need to set the line number that you would like to start at.. after that Press the run from here button.
Mach3 will then be ready to start so press the cycle start button and you will be good to go

thanks

Most of the time the circles are do to the ILK mode being wrong.. some of the posts have ABS arc centers and some have Inc arc centers. If you have the wrong type selected you get into a bit of trouble

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: change spindle speed (eg. laser power) depending on velocity

« on: September 10, 2007, 12:35:55 PM »

That should be under ports and pins Spindle settings... that is what the Lazer option for the spindle should do ...

thanks

The update is on the web now

This setting will tell Mach3 to come to a full stop if the angle from one intersection to the other is less then X amount. For example if you have a move that makes a 120 move you will not stop and the CV will fly right through it.. this will round the corner but you will not care because you don't need to have a sharp corner...

Now in the next example the intersection is 10 Deg (Looks like a sharp point). To make this a sharp point we need to come to a full stop at the intersection...
Hope that helps
Brian

This is a CV problem in the current version of Mach 3 and we have fixed this for the next rev

Sorry for the trouble

You can use any post that is for a fanuc and it "should" work... The Solid Cam guy should be nice to you as it is a sale and you can also tell him that there are about 10,000 users of the software in the world! If it was not for the little guy this world would not be what it is today!

So test and see if the Fanuc one works for you ...

thanks
