Mach4 General Discussion / soft limits and the tailstock
« on: April 09, 2018, 09:57:46 AM »
How to automatically change/update softlimit position according to a tailstock position in lathe? I have a lathe with tailstock witch is moved with support. I need that when I reach desired position and after disengaging the tailstock from the support that soft limit is automatically updated. Basically what I need is that when I press a button on the screen then soft limit for Z axis (Z+) is updated. Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / Re: 1 drive 3 axes and mach 3

Thanks for the tips.

So, there is no way I could solve this elegantly in mach itself. It would be cool if someone with knowledge could write a plugin for CSMIO/IP-A or Kflop with Kanalog with that functions. Another, more expensive way is to buy three servo drives and motors...

Yes, it is +/-10v analogue drive. That is not a problem, I will buy whatever I need to make this working.
Is it possible to configure mach3 so it works like this:
when selecting, let’s say, X axis, it sends a command of speed and direction to the drive and simultaneously activates the electromagnetic clutch of X axis, if I select Y axis it sends a command of speed and direction to the same drive and only switches from X axis em clutch to Y axis em clutch?
Is it possible that mach3 always sends speed and direction commands to the same drive regardless of which axis is selected either through jog  or g-code and only thing what is changed is digital outputs to the em clutches?

Hi,

I have an old milling machine with mobile mast. It has 3 axes but only one servo motor. Switching between axes is achieved with electromagnetic clutches. It cannot move more than one axis at the time. Is it possible to configure Mach3 so it can drive the machine?

It is not actually this machine on the picture but it is the same.


thanks
