General Mach Discussion / End VB ! (script that is)

« on: March 17, 2009, 03:44:14 PM »

Using the M6start vb for a tool changer and have that working.  What I would like to add to the script is two things.

     1. If the machine goes into an E-stop or hit's a limit to end the vb script.

     2. When the m6start vb is run for the first time (fresh machine) I would like it to verify what tool is in the spindle.

I am trying to learn the VB but I am not finding a way to apply the codes I can find (Wiki /Forum), and there always seems to be more! Any help with the above situation and or resources would be appreciated.

Just closing up a retrofit on an Intelitek PLM2000 it is a bench top and I can't tell you how much this list and Brian in particular has helped to make it all happen. 

All the best, Henry

Third party software and hardware support forums. / Prolight 3000 Lathe

« on: December 04, 2008, 01:37:09 PM »

Hi folks,

I have a prolight 3000 lathe coming next week with no PCI card.  Cost to replace the card appears to be more expensive than reconfiguring a new controller box.

Reading some older threads there is some good info but but they all die off without final info.

Has anyone out there completed the Prolight 3000 lathe conversion to Mach3 with tool changer?  Any help would be appreciated.

I will be doing a Prolight 2000 mill with servos and ATC as well but will post separately

All the best, Henry
