General Mach Discussion / pause btwn lines of code
« on: April 30, 2021, 06:57:15 PM »
For some reason my ellipse shapes are being milled with a slight hesitation between each line of code.  I have the constant velocity checked.  I have imported a dfx from Autocad into Bobad to generate code.  The ellipse in Bobcad is broken into segments and not a continuous line.  Not sure how to correct this.  Thought the constant velocity being generated in Mach3 would take care of this...any ideas out there!

VB and the development of wizards / autotoolzero
« on: February 24, 2021, 02:41:50 PM »
I know my vb script is good.  I have changed out a gecko servo drive and now my z axis is not traveling down to touch plate even though I have 4" of travel.  I goes down various depths but will not go down to touch plate. It does retract to the designated height though.  Not sure what to do.  Any help is appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / DRO'S
« on: June 27, 2016, 04:26:52 PM »
My pc did an upgrade to windows 10 and now dro's show movement but
the cnc does not respond when I jog.
Should I revert back to Windows 7 or is there a fix for Windows 10? :-[

General Mach Discussion / digitize light
« on: May 11, 2016, 02:55:06 PM »
Got everything hooked for my zero tool plate correctly
went into diagnostics and the digitize light is already on and
I have not made the connection :-\  disconnected wires
from breakout board and still it is on.  Restarted Mach and light is
still on.  Light should be off normally correct? ???

General Mach Discussion / xml transfer
« on: March 28, 2016, 10:35:46 AM »
 :-\Just put Mach3 on a new hard drive and got my license to load up.
Now I need to get the xml file that I was using into the Mach folder
so things will run the same as it did on the old hard drive.
Need a walk thru to do this.

General Mach Discussion / runaway z axis
« on: August 18, 2015, 09:26:19 PM »
Had no response to z axis one morning. Upon keyboard strike all drives faulted.   After obvious troubleshooting determine gecko drive was bad as I switched out the z drive with the x and the z worked fine,
 Got a new drive in today and after powering up the z axis wants to take off.   I assume this is the optic encoder gone bad as the dro does not move.
 Am I right in my assumption?
Got a new encoder coming and hope this is the problem.
If it is what would make the encoder and drive fail at once?

General Mach Discussion / feddrate
« on: October 02, 2012, 02:50:06 PM »
My g code is generating a specific feedrate but is not running at that rate.  The dro is showing a slower rate.
What's wrong?   :(

One on one phone support. / xml
« on: September 06, 2012, 09:41:40 AM »
Where do I find my active xml so I can e-mail it to Hood for review as I do not have feedoverride active on my screen?  The feedrate will
not increase or decrease as I am running my machine.  The dro says it increases but it does not.
 ???
