General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle Delay?
« on: May 28, 2013, 04:00:41 PM »
Yes that is correct, you can enter your values there and Mach will pause until that time has passed before it will continue with code.
You may need a longer or shorter spin down, all depends on your machine. You also have to bear in mind that Mach is used for many different types of machines and often it is not just spindles that the spindle outputs get used for, machines like glue dispensing machines etc
The relay option is to switch off the relays immediately or wait until the delayed time before it switches the relay off. All depends how your spindle is set up, if in fact it is even a spindle, as to what you would do there. If its a VFD then likely you want it to switch off immediately.
