General Mach Discussion / gecko540 problem under mach3

« on: October 08, 2011, 08:52:12 PM »

I can not believe that  you can set 100% perfect gecko540 with mach3 , I am working on this more then 4 months I have a big cnc machine sx3 This problem began  when I changed it to cnc. at small distances 40mm x 40mm 30mm hole in the middle , the  machine  cut  me  Y axis 40mm X axis 40.22mm inside  hile  is prefekt 30mm.
at a distance 140mm x 416mm the machine is  cuting 140.27 Yaxis  and 416.32 X  axis  I checked a dozen times my backlash , on Y axis is 0.01mm 0.0004" on
X axis  0.016mm 0.0006" in a machine that weighs about 250 kg seems to be ok, This was not so easy to get this result but my whole machine is converted, My machine has THK Linear and, therefore, this backlash has improved by up to 0.07mm I do not know what more to change? in setting mach 3 to remove the problem hell me please

sorry for my english, I trying to write as best I can

General Mach Discussion / mach3 ssetup

« on: September 11, 2011, 09:05:35 PM »

hi  I have   question my machine has backlash on Y axis 0.012mm on X axis 0.014mm  I cut a hole under Bearing 30mm everything is ok 29.95mm to 29.97mm dimensions

the part has to have dimension outside of 40mm x 40mm  but has 40.38mm on Y axis  and  on X axis 40.60mm  what's the problem?

I tried to set the machinery in different ways on 1/2 sherline , I tried to set the setup steps per unit but more worse comes out
