General Mach Discussion / REF ALL HOME Code

« on: October 22, 2013, 07:09:18 AM »

I have two questions
1. I would like to have a "G" or "M" code to make the CNC move to and operate the REF ALL HOME button. I have limit switches and the REF ALL HOME works great. It finds the switch and then backs off approximately .050 and sets zero, I like it. I would like the "G" code to do the same.
2. I Would like to use a "G" code to set an offset in my program for the X,Y and Z in case my CNC moves. Example - start location is 0,0,0. System moved by .020 in all axis. "G" code to shift all X,Y and Z axis by the .020. This way I don't have to re-program all of the X,YZ coordinates, which are about 30.

General Mach Discussion / Need General Mach3 HELP in OHIO!

« on: August 17, 2013, 12:29:24 PM »

I am in the process building a CNC (Grizzly G0704) around the MACH3 software. We purchased the Grizzly and the MACH3 but I need to take it a bit further for the automation than the company we purchased the base machine from. I need to understand how to add the limit switches through MACH3 , making a new screen for the operator and controlling 2 outputs for a 24vdc valve plus 3 inputs for sensors. If someone would like to do some phone support it would be greatly appreciated. I could possibly pay a small fee for the help.
