G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Mach3 2,5D Z-axis for activation/deactivation during X,Y move

« on: March 13, 2018, 02:58:06 AM »

Hi everybody.

I´m looking for help with a nailgun machine.

I need to activate and deactivate an output for an exact amount of time (50-100 ms) during movement of  X or Y axis, by moving the 2,5D Z-axis

Im trying to do that manually for each activation with code like
 G1 G91 X40  f2000
 G1 G91 X50 Z1 F2000
 G1 G91 X60 Z-1 F2000
... and repeat this on every 50 x-y move

But its not effective.

I was thinking of using the macropump.
Maybe with an IF (M3 is active) statement and While is Moving combination.

But I dont have any solution.

Im looking forward for your help or suggestions.

Thanks.

Robert
