Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Re: My CNC pressbrake build

Very impressive! Are you using proportional valves or the servo valves. What procedure did you use to tune both the valves to operate in sync. I wonder if this thing can be done with Galil motion controlers hooked with servo valves.

Finally got some more time to mess with it. I bent up a bunch of test pieces getting everything dialed in. I bought Solidworks 2010 this week so I am trying to get the K-factor dialed in on the software. Here is a better video of the brake and a test part.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: Is it possible to have an "Open File" box with the VB Script?

« on: April 03, 2010, 09:37:26 AM »

This one works for me.

Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")

ObjFSO.Filter = "G-codes|*.nc|Text Documents|*.txt|All Files|*.*"

ObjFSO.FilterIndex = 3

ObjFSO.InitialDir = "c:\mach3"

InitFSO = ObjFSO.ShowOpen

If InitFSO = False Then
    MsgBox "Script Error: Please select a file!"
Else
    MsgBox "You selected the file: " & ObjFSO.FileName
End If

Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: Window select after screen scroll

Klaus,

This has been happening with all the versions of Machscreen. Here are two sample snaps. In image1 the window selects the right objects which are lying under the window. This is when the window is not scrolled in any direction. Now I scroll the window down. The image2 shows that the window is selecting the object which were in that position before scrolling.

Machscreen Screen Designer / Window select after screen scroll

« on: March 14, 2010, 07:03:49 AM »

Klaus,

The window select function loses track of the object position after screen scroll. Causes slight inconvenience when designing larger screens on a small monitor. Can it be fixed?

This machine is running on AC servo motors. These are 750 watt Mitsubishi AC servos which I bought used. I'll post photos of the wiring cabinets in a day or two.
