Mach4 General Discussion / soft limits and the tailstock

« on: April 09, 2018, 09:57:46 AM »

How to automatically change/update softlimit position according to a tailstock position in lathe? I have a lathe with tailstock witch is moved with support. I need that when I reach desired position and after disengaging the tailstock from the support that soft limit is automatically updated. Basically what I need is that when I press a button on the screen then soft limit for Z axis (Z+) is updated. Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / 1 drive 3 axes and mach 3

« on: October 09, 2014, 01:02:42 PM »

Hi,

I have an old milling machine with mobile mast. It has 3 axes but only one servo motor. Switching between axes is achieved with electromagnetic clutches. It cannot move more than one axis at the time. Is it possible to configure Mach3 so it can drive the machine?

It is not actually this machine on the picture but it is the same.


thanks
