CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Using Pulley with MSM

« on: July 28, 2010, 11:01:26 PM »

I've been using mach software for 3 years and am very happy with it I use the mill and turn on my converted smithy 1324 that I upgraded about the same time.
this is however my first post so let me know if I have not done this correctly or in the right place.

I loaded the MSM last night on a PC just to play with it and I cannot wait to load this on my machine It's just awsome !!

My question is this:  I have a pulley setup on the spindle and have a 4 step pulley with min and max RPM setup for each ratio so they don't over lap.
would it be possible to add the pulley number to the run screen on the msm screen it is the first screen that has some room around the spindle information
and it would be so great not to have to switch pages just to set the pulley number whale cutting a job.

the second Item that would be helpful when using pulleys would be to have a set of macros/brains/... I'm not sure what setup so that when running a file and an rpm is called out that is not within the pulley range have Mach shout down the spindle and prompt the user to Set the Pulley to #x then when the user hit run mach could assume it was done and change the pulley number and restart the spindle. this would really help speed things up when using step pulleys.
this Item I realize may not be usefull to most users but I thought I would put it out there and see what people thought.

Thanks,

Herb
