Title: Have some problem on spindle motor and fire torch of plasma machine
Post by: mongkol on June 27, 2011, 02:52:51 AM

   Hi Experters,
   I have some problem on spindle motor and the torch of plasma machine.
   I know the macro command of spindle is m03 " CW running" and m05 " stop running".
   I know the macro command of torch fire is same as spindle command ---> m03 is fire and m05 is stop fire.
   I have both spindle motor and the torch of plasma machine on Z- axis.
   If I write m03 on MDI page, the spindle motor will rotate and the torch fire also.
   Is it possible to separate command ?
    If I write m03 on MDI page, the spindle motor can rotate but the torch can not fire.
Or If I write mxx on MDI page, the spindle motor can not rotate but the torch can fire.

   How to write the command of macro ?
   Pls help
   Mongkol

If you're not using flood or mist, put the spindle on one of those outputs, then turn it on with an M7/8 and off with an M9.  Not sure if you can do that with a VFD spindle, but it works fine with a spindle, or any other device, that just needs a simple on/off.
