General Mach Discussion / Help on Mach screen modification.

« on: January 02, 2023, 03:29:21 PM »

Hello to all,
trying to see if this is possible to do in the MACH screen.
I have 2 slide rails that have  (X axis) and (Z axis,).
what  I 'am  trying to achieve.   On the MACH screen instead of having the normal  X,Y, Z,and A AXIS on the control display,
I can make it were it has X,Z AND X,Z that way I can program 2  slide rails  with 2 motors  using Mach 3.
hopefully this made some kind of sense, this is just something I am trying to see if I can program 2 slide rails with one controller.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you for the reply
my next question would be if theres any pendant or joystick
that controls the Z and X AXIS at the same time  don't know if it makes any sense

but its basically connecting both X and Z into 1 joystick so when you move at a 45degree  angle just with the joystick it records you Z and X movement.

hope this makes some kind of sense

thank you

that can move the Z and X axis at the same time but it records every move than it saves it into a program
has anyone done something like this

Don't  know if this is the place to post this  or if this is even possible but here it goes
So I am trying to see if I can set the X and Z in some kind of joystick so I can move on my lathe  and also it is recording every move.
Can this be done with Mach

« on: March 25, 2012, 10:56:17 PM »

how do you use this to in your program and can some please explain what they mean.
how and what does it mean H0 and D0 in you program.
I think H means you tool offset so should I write the tool  number  I am using or shoul I leave at 0?
For D should I put the tool diameter?
can someone please explain how to use this two
I would greatlly appreciated

thank you
