Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / PDS Columbo 90rv tool changer setup
« on: February 04, 2009, 08:31:09 PM »
Hello All,
I'm in the middle of building a 5x10 4 axis Mechmate. I have a PDS Columbo 90rv that will be installed. Does anyone have any experance in setting up the tool changer and the rack (or for that matter the spindle too!)? I'm about a month away from its setup so its time to start detailed planning for it.
Thanks for your time,
Tim

Its the first question of any axis, "How far to travel". Its shows 0 and its highlighted blue but I can't change the number. I've been at the machine for 12 hours now, its the last thing I need to start cutting.  If your interested this is my try at cnc router   http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46411&page=3

Thanks for the help,
Tim

Thanks for that. It won't let me change the values in the highlighted box but at least I'm closer.

Hello everyone,
                    Is there a video or a tutorial on setting up with a rack and pinion? I have everything running but I can't figure out how to put the rack and pinion info into mach3. So accuracy is a joke at the moment.

Thanks for your time,
Tim
