General Mach Discussion / Are you a Mach3 pro?

« on: October 25, 2016, 03:10:14 PM »

Hi all, I'm looking for someone to help me with custom settings for my tables in the way of homing routines and auto zeroing with limit switches. Never been able to get it to do exactly what we need.. only have come close.   

Willing to pay a good rate for the above ^^


Also looking at possibly commissioning a pro, for a custom screen set.


Lets chat about it through PM please.

Hi, I'm at 218.251.1311

Looking for some help auto zeroing X and Y with homing switch.

Switches work great, just need help programming a what-seems-like should be an easy auto zero routine. Just need them to touch off and zero at +2" from that point.

Has anyone ever used a camera to read registrations from their printer?

Yea that's just it, I had it at like 10 units. I have never in my life got such consistently different results from b trying slightly different ideas.. and alot of times trying the same thing over and over.

In the bay area (Hayward) , are you good at mach3? Hit me up to make some money tomorrow.. March 2nd. Message me.

Anyone available early 3/2/2016 (Wednesday), to help get me up and running on mach3, with our only requirements being that auto tool zero work consistently. Motor tuning is good, or at least real close to good. I had a cnc install where the customer threw me the curve ball at the last minute of needing to be on metric, and it threw me for a loop.


The job pays good for successful completion Wednesday.

Hit me up here..

Think I found out where the MDI is.


Another issue, a bit ago I was doing the simple zero Z routine and it was jumping back off the touch plate by like 10mm, now for some reason it is sticking right to the touch plate.  Any ideas?  Is
 this set under "clearance plane" ?

Okay so now I'm on screenset 2010 .. earlier today I learned how to manually enter a coordinate and go to that on the MIDI tab in Mach3.  How do I do that function in screenset 2010 now, I do not see the midi tab?

Maybe screenset 2010 will fix my problem.

Yea, I can get a Feed Rate entered. Then, as soon as I click "Auto Tool Zero" it zeros out the Feed Rate.


Screenset is bone stock.

Here is what I have, the "10" is suppose to represent 10mm.

Code: [Select]

CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate.
PlateThickness = GetUserDRO(1151) '10
ProbeFeed = GetUserDRO(1152) 'You could put a probing feedrate here instead.


Code "G90 F" &ProbeFeed

If GetOemLed (825)=0 Then
Code "G4 P5" 'Time to get to the z-plate
Code "G31Z-5 F" &ProbeFeed
While IsMoving()
Wend
Code "G4 P0.25"
ZProbePos = GetVar(2002)
Code "G0 Z" &ZProbePos
While IsMoving ()
Wend
Call SetDro (2, PlateThickness)
Code "G4 P0.5" 'Pause for Dro to update.
Code "G0 Z2.0" 'Change the Z retract height here
Code "(Z axis is now zeroed)"
Code "F" &CurrentFeed
Else
Code "(Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again)"
Exit Sub
End If

 Sorry for being a kook!

Help me get this going and you will have a friend for life!  What? Pretty lame pickup line?
