CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Re: Wear Compensation

Thanks for the work around, tried every permutation I could think of and no joy.

Went back to standard screen set and for some reason it worked, no idea why and couldn't replicate the problem either.

Oh well, I'll just wait for Mach 4

G'Day Dave,

My fault, had the pins configured incorrectly. All works as it should.

Both mist and flood control buttons do not activate the relay in our controller with smooth stepper, not sure what would happen if only using the parallel port.

We switched back to the standard Mach screen and all works as it should.

CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Wear Compensation

« on: October 06, 2010, 06:02:28 PM »

I am having trouble with cutter wear compensation. Putting a  figure in the compensation input makes no difference to the actual movement of the cutter.

I also noticed that putting a figure into the Tool Length offset wear input box on the work coordinates page enters the same figure into the diameter wear input box on the tool page.

We are using the wear function to nudge a hole larger bit by bit until it is a perfect fit for a pin  - any advice?
