I need PHONE SUPPORT.  I have a PAYPAL Account and understand the billing rate you charge.


MACH3 JOGING PROBLEM

    Here is a problem that has me tearing out my hair.

    Conditions:
    1. All axis of mach3 work, x,y,z and will move with an MDI command.
    2. All axis of mach3 work, x,y,z and will move when I REFERENCE ALL.
    3. When I TAB over to the JOG Page pullout, none of the jog buttons will respond.

    Problem is what can be wrong? The axis drives work, but, the machine will not JOG.

Since posting my problem on the yahoo and CNCZONE, I have:

1. disconnected the MPG from the computer, This allowed me to Get the Shuttle mode enabled (Flashing Yellow)
2. checked the the jog increment were set at 0.010
3. When I tried the JOG from SHUTTLE PULL OUT Jog Buttons - NO JOY.

System is MACH3 and the computer is a DELL running Windows7.

The system was working very well when I LAST USED it.  That was in APRIL of thisyear,  I live in arizona and the aveerage temperAture for the summer was over 105 degrees F.

TRIED YOUR IDEA and again no JOY.  I am beginning to believe I may have a computer related problem.  I now cannot get the machine to reference all or any other motion.

I just went out to the shop and tried what you suggested and "NO JOY".  In fact now the machine would not REF ALL or even move with the PENDENT.  I SeEM TO BE MOVING BACKWARDS N

When I use the command REF ALL all axis's move and the machine DRO's read 0.000.

When I MDI a x axis movement the system does not work.

The only time it moves is when I ref all or use the pendent.  When I MDI Go x1.0 it does not move.

I am needing assistance and since I see that brian is handling support in the USA I want help and will pay for it.

My problem is as follows:

AXIS not moving and DRO is incrementing.

    I am having a problem with MACH3 with the VISTA SCREEN SET and it is driving me crazy.

    I have referenced all axis and they are correctly moving to the reference positions. The DRO's read 0.0000

    My problem is that when I program a

    n06 G73 x0 y0 z-0.4 q0.125 r0.1 f6
    n07 x1

    The machine will drill the first hole correctly but will not move to x=1.000 that that the command line calls for. The DRO Increment, but the X axis is not moving. I understand that the G73 command is modal and that the n07 line is telling the machine to move to x=1.00 and execute the M7e command which the ANSI standards say is amodal until another cG command id instituted.

    I can Jog the X axis via the MPG. It works and the DRO only updates as I turn the MPG

    If I MDI the command g0 x1.000
    the machine will not move the X axis.but the DRO increments as if it was moving.

    MY skill set is old world and I am 71 so my thinking is there is something wrong
    with MACH in the settings.

General Mach Discussion / DRO INCREMENT WHILE AXIS IS STATIONARY

« on: April 15, 2013, 07:02:15 PM »

I am having a problem with MACH3 and it is driving me crazy.

I have referenced all axis and they are correct and all move to zero

My problem is that when I program a

n06 G73 x0 y0 z-0.4 q0.125 r0.1 f6
n07 x1

The machine will drill the first hole correctly but will not move to x=1.000
The X axis DRO increments as if the axis was moving but there is no motion.

I can Jog the X axis via the MPG.

If I MDI the command g0 x1.000
the machine will not move the X axis.

MY skill set is old world and I am 71 so my thinking is there is something wrong
with MACH in the settings.
