General Mach Discussion / Work offset not remembered

« on: July 04, 2019, 02:36:00 AM »

Hello.
I notice that when i work to a work offset, like G56, or whatever except G54, and shut down normally the Mach3, when i startup again the work offset is always G54. In general config everything is checked as persist. Is there a way to accomplish that the last working work offset will be remembered, and when i startup the mach3 it will be in G57 for example and that i don't have to switch to this work offset every time i startup?
Any help will be appreciated.

Third party software and hardware support forums. / Dynomotion slave axis problem

« on: February 13, 2013, 04:41:19 PM »

Hello everybody.
I install a dynomotion kflop+kanalog boards together with three analog servo drives. The drives takes +-10V and have incremental encoder for feedback.
The X axis has a slave axis A and it is so configured  on mach. Everything works fine when i do cont.jog from mach or a G command G0 Xsomething to the X axis.
The problem is that when i do a step jog or when i execute a g command G01 Xsomething then the slave axis A does not work. Only the X axis rotate.
Can anybody help?

General Mach Discussion / Plasma tube cutting

« on: December 20, 2010, 05:33:22 PM »

Hello everyone
I'm building a flatbed plasma cutting machine, and i want to be able to cut holes on a tube, also.
The tube will be parallel to the Y axis and rotated probably from axis A with an extra servo driver/motor.
My question is how to configure mach3 to use either axis A or X depending if i want to cut a hole on a tube surface or just a normal sheet metal X,Y plane.
Also i need somehow to give the information to mach3 of the diameter of the tube in order to calculate the right feedrate and the steps per inch/mm for every different tube diameter i will cut.
Any help will be appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Pins 2 & 3 dont work.

« on: April 10, 2010, 04:41:55 PM »

Hi everybody.
I can't get the output pins 2 & 3 make them work.
I try to set them in the port and pins menu, as motor X pulse & direction outputs but nothing happens.
If i try the same at pins 4 and 5 or 6 and 7 everything works fine.
What is so special with this to pins 2&3 that they don't operate?
Has anyone any ideas?
