Hallo zusammen,

ich bin gerade dabei eine ältere Emco PCTurn 55 auf Mach4 umzubauen. Als Board habe ich ein Pokeys57cnc verwendet. Die Maschine besitzt einen 6-Fach Werkzeugwechsler welchen ich natürlich ebenfalls weiterhin verwenden möchte. Leider kommt hier auch schon das Problem... ich schaffe es nicht alleine ein Makro zum Werkzeugwechsler für die Maschine zu erstellen :( Was bisher allerdings funktioniert ist eine referenzfahrt der Wechsler auf Werkzeug Nr.1. Jetzt fehlt noch der Wechsel an sich selbst inkl. die Offset setzung.
Ist hier jemand in LUA ziemlich fit und könnte mir helfen?
Die Maschine steht in meiner Wohnung sodass ich schnell auch einiges testen könnte!

Zu diesem Thema habe ich auch ein alten Thread gefunden, welcher leider kein Finales Ergebnis zeigt... Auch das Anschreiben beider User hat nix gebracht (keine Antwort): https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=38376.20;last_msg=260762

viele Grüße

Mach4 General Discussion / Need Help to Create a Lathe Toolchange Macro
« on: February 05, 2020, 12:22:15 PM »
hello everyone,

i have an older Emco PCTurn 55 Lathe with an automatic 6-position toolchanger which is on a retrofit to Mach4 right now. As a controller i use a Pokeys57cnc board. On the way to find a solution how i can use the original toolchanger with mach4, i found this older topic:
 https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=38376.20;last_msg=260762
sadly the conversation ended up with no final result :/ i tried to ask both users if their can help or have a final solution right now.. but i didn`t get any answers...

i want to make my machine runing... what i solved is the homing of my toolchanger. that works! what i need right now is the toolchange inculde setting the right offset.
is there anyone who can help me to fix my problem?
the machine is in my livingroom...so i can try some changes directly.

best whishes from germany,
Andy

hello guys,

i tried out to create an own m6 tool change macro for my emco pcturn 55 lathe conversion with an pokeys57cnc board on Mach4. I want to learn and understand lua coding.
some function like if-then-else are not the problem.... my problems are to understand whats the codes are for like "mc.mcSignalSetState(..)" or "mc.mcToolGetCurrent(...)" or .....= math.tointeger(....).
Is there maybe a list/description of all possible "codes" in Mach4/lua which i can use?

kind regards
Andy

Mach4 General Discussion / Which Encoder for Mach4 Lathe Threading?
« on: September 23, 2019, 01:56:49 PM »
Hello,

i want to retrofit my Old Emco Lathe with Mach 4. The Original Spindle Encoder just has an A and B Signal. Can i use it again for threading in Mach4? or will it only works with an A/B/I Signal Encoder?

Kind regards
Andy
