General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 & New Vanguard 7200
« on: June 15, 2011, 06:25:22 PM »
Hi All,
I have a New Hermes Vanguard 7200 complete with an IS controller, (normally found on the newer Gravograph IS200's , IS400's, etc.) EP module, Gravostyle 98 and opensys dos.
I find the machine itself is good for my needs, but the controller and especially the software are just not working for me. I've tried VCarve Pro 6 & Engrave Lab and find these programs to be good and a nice upgrade from the other programs listed above.
VCarve & Engrave Lab will run the machine, but I can not control certain functions like dwell, feed rates, z-stroke, etc. from within the programs. I still have to use the Vanguard controllers for these functions.
Can anybody tell me if Mach3 will help me to eliminate the controllers and allow me to go direct between PC and machine?
Any other thoughts or comments would also be welcomed.
