license@machsupport.com is for automatic license delivery only.

Same results with standard 1024.set-file

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 license problem

« on: September 20, 2015, 05:37:57 AM »

Hello everybody,

I have bought Mach3 license few years ago and is installed in two PCs. Both have worked well.
Now both PCs reports that "Evaluation limit reached". Is there expiration date? Should I buy an new license?

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

I'm using it 1:1 ratio.  My PSU will be about 130 V 30 A. I have 100 ppr encoder attached to motor. I expect to get 2800 r/min using Mach3 at 25 kHz.

Hello Rick,

I have tested the spindle only on the table and it works fine. Rotation is smooth in both directions.
I think some treadmill motors are not suitable to use in reverse direction.

My motor is 2,5 hp also. It has angled brushes so it is not designed to use in reverse direction. I think it don’t damage it if it rotates backwards only short periods as in threading.

See pictures in [url] http://www.diy600.net/[url]. I'm happy so far.

I'm confused:

Encoder is connected to UHU, should I connect it to Mach also?  I’m using step/dir control and I think that Mach does not need encoder information.

My problem is that if I type gcode S50M3, spindle rotates about 500 rpm.

I have noticed that Mach has input for spindle index. Should I use it some way?
Why there is not  “Steps per unit”-box for spindle as is in Motor Tuning dialog?
Is it even possible to use servo as spindle?

Thanks

I have UHU-servodrive and PMDC motor with encoder for spindle.

How can I configure Mach to know how many pulses is needed for 1 rev?
