General Mach Discussion / strange problem
« on: March 21, 2009, 12:01:51 AM »
Hello,
I'm having a strange problem with MACH 3. I have done the setup and tuning and everything seems to be running fine. In the MDI page I can type in Gcode to move the axis around. Everything runs dead on after many, many repetitions. So I'm pretty confident I have everything dialed in. The problem I'm having is when when I run my gcodes pockets I cut are a little short and the inlays for them are quite a bit larger. I've checked through the G-code and everything looks right it is all correct and dead on but for some reason when I run it it is still coming out wrong. I've created many different files and they all do the same thing but all the gcode files are correct and read the right dimensions. Is there any settings in Mach 3 that would cause this. I can't figure it out and it is driving me insane.
I don't know if the step pulse settings might be needed in the motor tuning but like I said everything seems fine when running stuff in the MDI screen and I don't know what determines if you need that setting or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
