General Mach Discussion / Question before my next Mach3 question.
« on: October 09, 2018, 06:04:07 PM »
Hi all, The background about my question is, around 5 years back I was gifted a cnc in kit form. It's been in the loft 4.9 years of that time!

The spindle and inverter were bought as a fleeyby set, but have no markings. serial numbers or anything that might help. The spindle I have no clue who made it? but pretty sure from looking around it's 2.2kw 220v and I think 24k rpm. The inverter is deffo Huanyang with standard markings for power supply and output to spindle. which wired in all works as meant to. spindle start/stop works fine. I'll later need to do the parameter settings, which seem pretty clear.

The next thing was the cnc driver card and nemas, the driver card is a TB6560 (I think) 3 axis, reading the intronet forums it's 'The Blue Board'. X and Y axis were complete sub assemblies, the board functions just fine, it drives X Y axis in a Mach3 test program, Z axis is not put together but the stepper runs as it should, for the first time in my life I bothered to wire in and test both limit and E stop switches, and they function correctly in Mach3.

My Question is about the 3 spindle outputs from the Blue Card, the inverter and Mach3. In short I don't want to try to wire something that cant be done lol

The inverter has a tonn of input/outputs. the driver card only has min/gnd/mout.....I only need spindle start in forwards direction and hopefully S in program. and marry that up to Mach3 spindle settings?

Or will I need a dedicated card for the spindle?

Many thanks G92.1

First off I would like to congratulate Artsoft on their software. period. I was never sold on PC based cnc's when they first came in into main stream engineering, graphic cards going down, and crashing coz the Mrs emailed for a pint of milk, and all sorts of things unmicron like. But my copy of Mach3 is bullet proof, and does what it says on the tin. And for my second machine I will buy another copy of Mach3.

I started on GE controls, G code in the early 80's, and G92 was our first port of call to cut a second, third, forth...part... and on...count your G92 and return or zero  return the machine...then G92 X.0 Y.0 and repeat. both mind blowing and mistake making on the poor operator.

Today I'm G92'ing my way across, when in the past M32 Mazatrol gave me 1000 WPC centres....and that is what I'm hunting for? is there a macro in Mach3? I could do with around 40 work shifts at least! nesting is where I'm looking at...make the most of what I've got on the table.


Thanks G92
