General Mach Discussion / Mach3 gcode parameters

« on: June 17, 2020, 08:10:54 AM »

Hallo

We had an old machine with Siemens 810 control. So we retrofitted it and using mach3
Im working on translating the old programs into mach3.
Most Parameters and Unary/operators are in mach3 gcode manual, but can’t find code for programing “jump” and “if” functions in mach3.
Thought "GoTO N20" should work, but doesn’t recognize the command "GoTo"
Siemens 810 equivalent  "@100 K10"
Subprograms and parameter calculation works like a charm, but the jumps/if doesn’t.
Anyone able to help?

General Mach Discussion / A-axis static feed + Spindle rpms

« on: November 21, 2019, 05:20:25 AM »

Hello.
I’m trying to setup Mach3 for the first time. At the moment I struggle with 2 issues.
My build are win8 connected with Ethernet smoothstepper and a servo/motor for each X, Y, Z, A, Spindle.

Issue 1: My spindle only runs around 3-4000rpm and not the 7000 I told it in Mach3. Changing the ratio 1:1 to 1:2 or 2:1 (gear adjusts in mach3) has no effect on rpm. Is it a mach3 setting or… ?

Issue2: My A-axis works with revolutions on a given distance as well as it index at any degree I define. However, I can’t get it to work with a static feed for grinding. Hints on what to do or where to look would be very appreciated.

/regards
