General Mach Discussion / Re: Artsoft having issues - Can't use Search

« on: November 27, 2018, 01:21:01 AM »

Hi CES,

This forum is currently undergoing a re-think on layout, content, etc.  http://forum.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38649.0.html

Some functions (such as search and link re-directs, etc.) may be a little cranky until it is all sorted 

TPS is perhaps being a little hard on the Artsoft people but I agree that Search could have been fixed by now.

General Mach Discussion / Re: 4th axis set up on B axis query

« on: November 26, 2018, 10:20:35 AM »

Within Mach3 you can configure the B axis to be slaved with your Y axis - thus freeing up your A axis for rotary working.

It is not recommended to connect two axis (motor drivers) to the same pin.

FAQs / Re: Z plunging after next cut

« on: November 24, 2018, 01:50:34 AM »

Sounds like you Z axis could be missing steps on the rapid upward (+Z) movement.

Try halving the Z axis Velocity and Acceleration settings in motor tuning and save the changes. If this makes any difference then experiment with your Z axis motor tuning settings until it performs correctly.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: X axis moves only left, with both + and - inputs

« on: November 24, 2018, 01:45:38 AM »

Check your wiring.

In particular the X axis Direction pin connection.
If you are using the Parallel Port then check your 25 way cable itself.
Also check the wiring and connections to the X axis motor (check both windings are connected).
