General Mach Discussion / Re: Rapid Speed Screenset
« on: July 19, 2016, 04:34:27 AM »
Hi Guys, just an update!

I finally have it working. It seems like you have to tell the screenset to work in Continuous mode and then it will stay like that. I added buttons and played around until I got it working, and I'm sure that because I don't have buttons to change the Continuous mode that I can remove buttons again after I have it working.

This is what I did: I added 2 buttons on the screen: Toggle Jog Mode and Set Jog Mode Continuous, then added a LED - Continuous Jog Mode. When I start Mach3 the CONT JOG LED was off. Then I pressed the Toggle Jog Mode until Continuous LED came on, and then press Set Jog Mode Continuous. After that it seemed to work. I closed Mach3 and when I started it again the Continuous LED was already ON and everything works!

Hope this might help somebody! :)

Ok - this is a whole new screenset, only 1 page (not even tab window)...

I understand the Slow Jog Rate, that is actually build into main screen. I can set it at any % and that works, but I don't know how to ensure SHIFT works with screenset. Do I need a certain button to enable SHIFT function on the main screen set? Or is there a hidden setting somewhere?

General Mach Discussion / Rapid Speed Screenset
« on: July 14, 2016, 06:17:33 AM »
We have a new screenset with Mach3 and now the SHIFT key on the keyboard is not allowing rapid speeds. If I press SHIFT and arrow the machine doesn't move at all, and when only arrow key, the machine moves at slow speed...

Anyone knows what that could be?

I suspect you have a grounding issue. Ensure that grounding on the machine is done as it should. Noise travels on the cables and could cause limit switch to trigger unexpected!

There are many threads on this issue! See below thread for one!

I'm sure it will help! Good luck!

Here is the code i used in the Button:

Code "G28.1 Z8"
Code "G92 Z0"
Code "G00 Z2.5"
Code "G92 Z0"
Code "G00 Z100"

I tried the sample of woodspinner... but did not work! Am I putting the wrong code in?

OK... I thought it worked but something is strange...

This is the code I insert:
G28.1 Z8
G92 Z0
G00 Z2.5
G92 Z0
G00 Z100

The problem is now that for some reason Mach doesn't follow the sequence from top to bottom. It starts with the rapid move to Z100 and then do the G28.1 move and then do the offset to 2.5... I use exactly the same code in all parts we cut normally.

Am I doing something wrong or could I force it in a certain direction?

General Mach Discussion / Insert a sequence anywhere on toolpath?
« on: July 16, 2013, 06:06:51 AM »
Hi,

Is it possible to insert a certain sequence (like our machine's plate sensing sequence - consist of 5 lines) anywhere on the toolpath?

The reason is sometimes you get a problem and plasma stops in the middle of a cut - BUT the current height is lower/higher than the start point. No you have to go back and start the last cut sequence again and let the torch run to the point where it stopped... And then the height is different and that causes errors!

I just thought it would be nice if you could start the machine right where it is with the click of a button that inserts a few lines (Plate sensing Sequence) and then continue on the path as before...

Anybody any ideas?

General Mach Discussion / Block certain lines in G-Code?
« on: July 16, 2013, 05:49:11 AM »
HI All,

Does anyone knows if it is possible to add a button on the screen that will "block out" certain lines in the currently loaded G-Code?

I want to create a button that will block certain lines that is pre-defined in a screen editor. It would be nice to have a function where I can choose a certain few lines NOT to execute when I choose.
