General Mach Discussion / Re: What's the best way to implement dual X motors?

« on: July 22, 2007, 02:26:47 PM »

I think it can be done (I have not done it my self but I know of others that have done it)... Also if you don't need to have the homing to straighten the X axis I think you are fine with ganging the outputs...

Thanks

What Mcode are you talking about??? Is it the M3.m1s???

Try this Spindle speed Macro and tell me if it is okay with your system

Thanks

You will need to end it the bitmap in Paint or some other editor

Looks like that limitation may have just been lifted Test the newest version to see if it works for you

This is something that I have to add in Lcam and as you can see it is not as simple as you think

I hope to get started on it soon as there is an OEM that needs it for a bunch of machines that need to ship Nice to have the pressure to drive you to work all night!

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: 4-axis lathe. How do I set up motor outputs?

« on: July 22, 2007, 02:10:40 PM »

Hello,
You need to change the screen to make the lathe screen show more then 2 axis... To do this you should have a look at the videos that are online about screen design.


Thanks
Brian

PS A lathe is setup with X and Z not X and Y... If you would like to use X and Y you will need to run it as a Mill and not a lathe

With the Mach3 Turn screens you can only jog on the Manual screen AND You have to have the Jogging on

Hope that helps..
