General Mach Discussion / E-stop requested comes up when cutting a circular pocket.

« on: January 18, 2022, 11:14:04 PM »

First time ever had this issue come up. Milling a pocket that is round. Cutting just fine and then the cut just stops cutting for no reason . On the mach3 screen it says emergency mode active,external e-stop requested . Can't restart program . Have to reset and start program from start and then the program runs the whole program all the way through. Sometime when the program runs all the way thru,then I run the same program again and it stops the same as describe above. Not sure what to look for what is wrong.
 Had issues when I added a led light on the mach3 screen for the probe pickup . The light for the z height pickup would not light. So I switched the wire around with the e-stop and then the z height pickup worked.Dont know why this worked either .
   Thanks Dan

Just recieved a Huanyan HY02d211b inverter and a 2.2 kw spindle 110 volts. Having issue with the spindle rpm is at 11,500 rpm ,supposed to run at 24,000 rpm. Not sure what is wrong or if code are set wrong. Just setting this up to run on its own,not running this in mach3 for now. Just trying to get it to run. Any help is appreciated. Do not know much on setting this up .

General Mach Discussion / no keyboard rapid after led install on mach3 screen

« on: January 09, 2022, 03:57:26 PM »

Installed led on mach3 screen to show touch probe for tool bit pick up. After installing led the light seemed to work fine. But the keyboard arrows dont move the machine at a rapid manual move. not sure what I have wrong. If I do a manual move in mdi doing a gox1. it moves in a rapid move just fine. I can move the machine with the key board arrow but they move only at 20 ipm instead of 100 ipm .
     Thanks for any help . Dan

Mach3 under Vista / Having issue with y axis and a axis not moving together.

« on: June 14, 2020, 10:26:48 PM »

Hi
 Having issue when moving the y axis the A axis is moving at a different rate. On one end of the table the y and a axis are about 1/16 of an inch difference from side to side of table . Then on the other end the y axis and A axis are about 3/4 of an inch difference. Some how Im gaining steps .I switched stepper drivers and the same thing happens . Not sure what to look for . Is it possible that the stepper motor is bad . Can use any suggestion . Thanks Dan

Mach3 under Vista / Re: mach3 demo with windows7 64 bit system cant get stepper motor to work

« on: May 27, 2020, 08:47:25 AM »

Hi
Did get the motors to work . I did have the parrellel port address wrong.Instead of 378 .I had to put in d880 which got the stepper motors to work.Started to connect the motor to the machine. then later in the day I lost the connection some how . Didn't change a thing. Did notice that when I shut the computer down and restart computer back up . That the motors did have power to them. Because when the computer started up I would try turning the motor and I could feel that I could not turn them. Then when I went into mach3 program the motors lost power by  trying to turn them ,I could turn them easy. When in mach3 I would use the key board to use the arrow for all motor movement. The motors would not move but the green light would light on the driver board but the motor would not work. Not sure what I have wrong. But I did get the motor to move at one time so things are getting better. I did also install windows 7 with 32 bit os  thank for all the help you people give. I appreciate it.

Hi
 Have now installed windows7 with 32 bit operating system. Still have not been able to get the stepper motors to run. Now when going into mach3 it locks up cant do anything. Basically have to turn the computer off to get out of mach3.  Also I have mach3 demo does this have anything to do with the stepper motors not working. I have not bought a license yet! Would this have anything to do with the stepper motor not working. Not sure what to try next.

Down loaded mach3 demo with windows7 (64bit system) cant get stepper motors to work. Do I need a license to get steppers to work or is it that the its not a 32 bit system. New to cnc routing.  thanks
