General Mach Discussion / Using a proximity sensor as a tool height setter...

« on: April 02, 2015, 10:02:29 PM »

I'm thinking about using a npn proximity sensor to set my tool height.

I'm using a 1.5kw spindle on a cnc router table and the tool is not grounded.

Has anyone successively done this?

Thx.

Brains Development / Can a brain trigger a wave file?

« on: March 30, 2015, 04:07:58 PM »

I'm able to trigger a output to operate a physical (powered) buzzer/alarm using a brain.

However, I would like to have a wav file (audio alarm) play when I push the e-stop button or any action for that matter.

General Mach Discussion / I'm having a problem with OEM-code 321 (Run Newfangled Wizard) in machturn.

« on: December 10, 2014, 11:13:02 AM »

I want to add a button to my screen set to pull up and run the Newfangled Turn Wizard. I have an OEM-code 230 (Display Wizard selection window) on my screen which does open the wizard selection window. However, went I press my OEM-code 321 button it doen't do anything.

It seem like 321 should open the wizard and run it.

General Mach Discussion / MachTurn G31 problem

« on: December 02, 2014, 02:06:51 PM »

Hi all,

I just got finished rebuild my Syil cnc lathe and now I would like to make some parts.

I'm trying to do a part/tool auto zero with no luck.

Here's the setup:

A piece of stock is chucked up, I want the z axes(probe) to move to the part, zero dro, continue running code(sizing,threading..... cut off)
open the chuck, pull out a bit of stock and *repeat*

I've tried running a macro using a G31 code, however I finding out that MachTurn doesn't recognize that command.

Is there a work around to this issue without having to pull the stock to a fixed stop. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thx MavStone
