Modbus / Re: Denford triac milling machine atc advice needed
« on: January 10, 2012, 05:34:57 AM »
Ok had a rethink, And I have decided to go for
Modbus to plc route as it's just to much hassle
With the two boards and trying to accommodate
This many sourcing and sinking io's is a nightmare.

Hi Tom  happy new year to you, I was planning to use two
Printer ports if I can do it this way? I have a cnc4pc card for the 24v inputs/ output
Side of things, which I'm hoping will deal with the atc up/down in/out relay's and was
Planning to run the limits and home's on another then, as
You suggested a switch on the cam for home so it's just the brains side of
Things I think  am still a bit stuck with ie macro's and stuff i have seen a atc
Triac converted just don't know how it was done and what was used
I decided to just go down the stepper route just a lot easer for me to
Deal with, are you any further forward with your monster?

Modbus / Denford triac milling machine atc advice needed
« on: January 06, 2012, 05:08:51 PM »
Hi hope this is the right place to ask but am pulling my hair out here.
 I am looking for advice on my triac atc on
Upgrading to mach3  which has 24v inputs and outputs that run
110v solenoids.  These operate the air and motor for
The toolchange.  Has anyone converted a Denford atc
To Mach3 any advice on where to start  and what to do would be greatfully
Appreciated.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: PLease help - gcode newbie
« on: March 06, 2010, 06:17:08 PM »
HI Graham, what I am saying is that, tool 1 (master) does the cut no bother, moves along z axis while jogging and turning the stock and completes, once tool one is finished it returns  back to the home position, asks for a tool change, we then change to tool 2, and hit cycle start expecting the tools offsets to be loaded automatically to compensate for the larger tool; but it does not seem to be doing this, however we have been selecting t0202, we are new to mach3, and cnc, we were wondering if we have selected the wear offsets in our tool table which are currently zero. Should it be T0201.

I have joined 2 gcode programs together, both run seperately okay, I have the pause and tool change in the middle of the gcode T0202 see below

The 1st programs runs and takes 2 mill off diameter, it then pauses I change the tool to start click cycle start to continue. but when the tool starts up it goes right through and does not start at bar

can someone please look at the gcode for me and see if I have missed something, i am using a connect 121 lathe with mach3 turn
