Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Newfangled shapes

« on: November 28, 2005, 06:46:31 AM »

As many of you know cutting out control panels is NO fun... SO we at Newfangled Solutions have come up with an other new idea. What we have running now is a shape wizard that is part of the Add-on for mill. This shape wizard can take a gcode file and rotate, shiftX, shiftY scale and do cutter comp if file has cutter come. You may think okay what is so cool about that... Well I just did a file that has 6 DB25 cutouts 3 at 45deg and 3 more  at 135deg. The wizard will set the depth and the step depth of the file as well... SO why did I post? I would like to know what shapes I should have added to this?
Thank you
Brian

I think 20 is about the best and if you have a very fast computer you could set it to 10. If you are running large files and you need to have a bit more buff you could up it to 25... This is a setting that I have not tested my self, I just heard what it did.

Hope that is a little help

David I set up a mill from 2 to 3 and found it to not be that bad... I had one scrap of paper (that I filled) and it took about 30min. The good part is you will not have to do it again

Sorry I think there is not a better way:(

When I did the video I had it running from the drive (0-10VDC) to the PLC. The PLC was set up with modbus and Mach was taking  the value into the macro pump... please check out the video on macropumps I told a bit about it in there..

Peter's ModIO should work very well for this as well.

Thanks
