General Mach Discussion / Help with machined parts wrong size

« on: December 22, 2015, 05:00:53 PM »

Could someone help me understand why when I am machining something parts of the part come out the wrong size. I machined a part today that had an inside pocket and outter contour. The inside pocket came out to size but the outter profile came out almost .010" larger than it should.

Ok but where does the 5v come from?

Yes it is my encoder

Does 5v get connected to "A" pin and does the wire that goes to pin for "A" on the db25 as well

Not sure what you mean by your last post

What would the wiring diagram look like for the encoder? I have an encoder from Adafruit. It also has a push button. There are 2 pins on one side, and three pins on the other side. The data sheet says that the three pins on the same side are "A" on left, Ground in the middle, and "B" on the right. I believe the two pins on the other side are for the switch. I don't see any pins that supply the 5V.

There will be three buttons. One for x, one for y, one for z. When you press the button, it will zero the axis for the respective button pressed. For the encoder. There will be one encoder that will control movement for each axis depending on which axis is selected.

I have a strange issue. When I move an axis using mdi to a specific location Mach will move there and repeat every time, but when I'm running a program the part always seems to come out around .010" to large. There are no values in the tool offset fields. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be

it would be individual buttons for Selecting and zeroing X,Y,Z
