General Mach Discussion / Re: REF ALL HOME Code

« on: October 22, 2013, 05:18:16 PM »

Will the G28.1 code work just like the "REF ALL HOME" button?
Does the G28.1 code move slowly to the find the switch and then back off until the switch circuit is closed?

General Mach Discussion / REF ALL HOME Code

« on: October 22, 2013, 07:09:18 AM »

I have two questions
1. I would like to have a "G" or "M" code to make the CNC move to and operate the REF ALL HOME button. I have limit switches and the REF ALL HOME works great. It finds the switch and then backs off approximately .050 and sets zero, I like it. I would like the "G" code to do the same.
2. I Would like to use a "G" code to set an offset in my program for the X,Y and Z in case my CNC moves. Example - start location is 0,0,0. System moved by .020 in all axis. "G" code to shift all X,Y and Z axis by the .020. This way I don't have to re-program all of the X,YZ coordinates, which are about 30.

General Mach Discussion / Need General Mach3 HELP in OHIO!

« on: August 17, 2013, 12:29:24 PM »

I am in the process building a CNC (Grizzly G0704) around the MACH3 software. We purchased the Grizzly and the MACH3 but I need to take it a bit further for the automation than the company we purchased the base machine from. I need to understand how to add the limit switches through MACH3 , making a new screen for the operator and controlling 2 outputs for a 24vdc valve plus 3 inputs for sensors. If someone would like to do some phone support it would be greatly appreciated. I could possibly pay a small fee for the help.
