General Mach Discussion / Re: Help with Formulas for robot control (ASEA IRB-60) SCARA

« on: October 06, 2015, 01:43:17 AM »

There has been a lot of discussion over the years regarding Kinematics and that Mach3 does not support this type of control.
To a certain extent this thread applies http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,29706.0.html

I don't know if it ever came to anything, perhaps you could contact the author via his website ?

I would be most interested in following your progress.

Further clues ? ............... when I go into config I can access all the sub tabs except motor tuning.  Just nothing appears on the screen when i try to access it.

Sounds like you do not have the parallel port driver installed. This can be installed by running the DriverTest.exe (Mach folder).

Hi Skipper,

Setting a different Profile within Mach3 for each machine takes care of the various settings differences etc.  It is then just a matter of swapping the Parallel Port / USB or Ethernet cable from the PC depending on which machine is to be used.
There are those who use the same motor drive controller but, in my case, I prefer separate controllers for each machine (saves swapping too many cables).

Hey sledder 23,
You may not know this..........
We continue to "practice" providing precise answers to any and all problems posted.
Is really fun,  it's sort of like the game show  "can you name that tune in one note".
So we on the side lines conspired, came up with a strategy to let Terry try, betting that you solve
it yourself. So he now owes all of us a cold beer.

Glad you solved the problem.

As the UC300 has 3 ports dedicated to inputs that should take care of all your limit switches I think
