General Mach Discussion / mach w/ galil plugin and z plunge
« on: September 19, 2013, 04:58:42 PM »
i have a machine that i am adapting to run mach3.  i have the x and y running great but my z axis is a air cylinder that is either up or down.  i have been messing with this for a while and i cant figure out how to get the z to plunge.  it is relay controlled and i was wondering if there is a way to make it use the cylinder anytime there is a negative z command?  i dont know if i am explaining this correct or not.  this machine is actually a router.

General Mach Discussion / Im new!!!!
« on: September 11, 2013, 12:38:36 PM »
I work for a fence manufacturer and we run 2 cnc routers.  the program they run is very limited and only can cut outlines.  so i decided to try to put a different program on it.  the problem im running into is that it have a serial controller card and i dont really know much about the actual wiring on the machine.  the manufacturer isn't very helpful on giving me information to try to adapt it to run mach.  so i was hoping yall could fire some questions my way and i could answer them to help and get this thing set up
Thanks
Todd
