ITS NOT TO RUN ANY CODE IS JUST TO CONVERT A PC ON A HIGH SPEED (45KHZ) STEP GENERATOR FOR A CUSTOM MACHINE WICH USES AN STEPPER MOTOR TO MAKE ITS WORK, ALSO IS IT POSSIBLE TO JOG ALL X,Y,Z,A,B,C AND HAVE INDEPENDENT FEED CONTROL ON EACH OR JUST A GENERAL FEED CONTROL FOR ALL OR THE ONES THAT YOU ACTIVATED TOGETHER FROM 1 TO 6?

General Mach Discussion / PROBLEM WITH STEPPER3 LLC LINK

« on: September 24, 2010, 03:49:18 PM »

HI GUYS, I ALREADY USED ONE OF THE LUINKS PROVIDED BY THIS WEBPAGE CALLED STEPPER3 LLC AND MAKE AN ORDER OF A NEMA 34 STEPPER AND A G201 GECKODRIVE TO BE SHIPPED ON A 2nd DAY A.M. DELIVERY, I RECEIVE AN INVOICE VIA INTERNET BUT SINCE THE LAS WEDNESDAY ONLY A ANSWERING MACHINE TAKES THE PHONE CALLS AND NOBODY ANSWER BY PHONE NEITHER EMAIL SO EVERYBODY WATCH OUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE STEPPER3 LLC IS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE EVEN TO REPONSE A CALL OR AN EMAIL.

 THANKS

General Mach Discussion / Help on customizing Mach3

« on: September 23, 2010, 04:10:14 PM »

Hi I'd like to know if is possible to create a VB program, Macro, etc to accomplish the followings activities:

- After clicking on start button move the X axis cw or ccw (doesn't matter the orientation) at a preprogrammed feed until input 1 is active then move Y axis to a preprogrammed inches at a preprogrammed feed, pause, then continue on the same Y axis until the final total inches are achieved then repeat the cycle infinitely if is possible or a quantity of times if is possible.

 This sequency is if is possible to realize for using on a custom machine where it must have the intervention of the input to continue the rest of the proccess, I'm in the way if it's neccessary of paying for the service on have the complete proccess on isetting the mach3 to accomplish the task discussed above, I actually know how to set mach3 for milling without problems, the problem is to set it up for the purpose mentioned above.

   Thanks in advance to all...

HOLA, ES POSIBLE QUE TE FUNCIONE PERO EN REALIDAD MACH REQUIERE COMO MINIMO 1.0 Y ESO QUIERE DECIR QUE CON LO MINIMO NO PODRAS CORRER EL PROGRAMA EN ABSOLUTA CONFIANZA, POR ESO ESCRIBI 1.5 COMO MINIMO PARA SI EN EL CASO DE QUE TENGAS 1.5 PUES NO TENGAS INCONVENIENTES EN CUANTO A VELOCIDAD DE PROCESADOR, RESPECTO A LO DE LA FRESA DEEPGROVE EN REALIDAD NO ENTIENDO QUE TIPO DE FRESA ES ESA, POR FAVOR DAME MAS DETALLES ACERCA DE ESTE TIPO DE HERRAMIENTA DE CORTE.

I HAVE A VERTICAL CNC MILL WITH THE AJAX CONVERSION AND I CAN TELL YOU ITS THE BEST LOW COST/HIGH EFFICIENCY CNC RETROFIT KITS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS ROBUST AND REALLY MADE STRAIGHT TO INDUSTRIAL CNC ENVIROMENT, IT MEANS NO BUGS, NO OS CRASHES, THE DRIVERS COMES WITH A PLC INTEGRATED, ALSO THEY OFFER KITS FOR LATHES AND TOOL CHANGING OPTIONS, AND THE KIT COMES WITH A SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE WITH THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION FOR THE PLC SO IT MEANS YOU ONLY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION ABOUT CONFIGURING THE AXIS AND HOW TO PUT THE WIRES IN THE CORRECT PLACE, ALSO IT COMES WITH A AUTOSETTING FUNTION WICH SET HOW FAST CAN BE THE G0 MOVEMENT ON THAT PARTICULARY EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE KIT.

Spanish / CARACTERISTICAS MINIMAS DE PC PARA CORRER MACH

« on: July 21, 2007, 11:59:27 AM »

CARACTERISTICAS
 
PROCESADOR: 1.5 GHZ
MEMORIA RAM (REALMENTE DISPONIBLE) : 640 MB (512+128)
WINDOWS SOLAMENTE CONSUME ALREDEDOR DE 512 POR SI SOLO POR LO TANTO DEBES DE TENER MEMORIA PARA EL MACH YA QUE ES UN SOFTWARE
QUE ESTA SOPORTADO POR WINDOWS.
VIDEO: ES PREFERIBLE INSTALAR UNA TARGETA DE VIDEO DE 128 MB PARA NO CONSUMIR MEMORIA RAM DE LA PC
NOTA: ES IMPORTANTE CONFIGURAR EL WINDOWS DE FORMA TAL QUE ESTE LO MAS SENCILLO POSIBLE Y ASI NO CONSUMA RECURSOS DE MEMORIA RAM PRINCIPALMENTE EN VIDEO Y APLICACIONES QUE NO SERAN USADAS AL USAR WINDOWS SOLO PARA EL MACH, PRONTO TRADUCIRE LAS CONFIGURACIONES DE WINDOWS PARA SETEARLO DE FORMA SENCILLA.

ENFRIAMIENTO: ES IMPORTANTE QUE TANTO LA PC COMO LA CAJA DE LOS DRIVERS ESTEN DEBIDAMENTE EN UN ENFRIAMIENTO EFECTIVO USANDO LOS CORRESPONDIENTES DISIPADORES Y ABANICOS DE ENTRADA Y SALIDA DE AIRE.

I think windows system was never concibed to use on so delicated task as is to control a second software to either control a mechanical device, My personal opinion is that you can take more benefits out of mach if you are a person that really wants to introduce and learn about cnc funcionality and assembling but for real bussines i think i would use an ajax system that is already based on linux even id pay the 2500 for the basic 3 axis kit but is something that really is trouble free and ready to make money on a seroius bussiness thinking persons, Mach is really a excellent software but id never put a $US 2000.00 metal block just not waiting for something bad to happen because of a windows/mach problem.
