General Mach Discussion / Re: Different use of Mach3

« on: October 23, 2006, 01:11:16 PM »

Here in Greece often we said that " the difficult is to start up with something but when I start up nobody stop me"
I use Computers for the last 15 years and i m an expert in my job. that is becouse Before many year i didnot afraid to ask even silly thinks.... Of course I was lucky becouse I learn from experts and people who did not have any problem to give me a help in my first steps.

All I want to say is that (sorry but my English dont help me)

I will ask you a lot of thing that I dont Understand 

For examble....

1) Can we stop the motion of the Z axis when it is down and then give motion to the 4th motor (which opens & close my Valve) for specific time. Lets say 1.5 Sec This is the time I need to open the valve drop 0.5ml and close the valve)


2) I will buy 4 600oz servo motors . The 600 Oz power is enough to move the Z head (With my valve is about 10-15 kgr).

3) If I give you very small patern of decals  this



I want to Go to center of every Decal

Z down
open the valve ( lets say that the valve opens R3.25 and close R0)
Close the Valve
and then the Z go to 3cm up
And then move to next decal...

If I see A code once i really I understund a lot of the G code logic.

If I ask A lot tell me and I stop.!

And A tip from me to you () 
I work In Adobe Illustrator
After some tests I understund that The DXF format isnt right for Mach3 I have to open it from Corel And Save it again. Then the Mach3 can read the DXF file.

Thanx Anyway for your replys.... I really like it...!

Hi! from Greece...
First of All sorry for bad My English.

I m 35 years old
Job: Art Director SonyBmg Greece

I m An expert on Graphic Arts so if you have any Q about Print, Colour theory, Photoshop, QuarkXress, Adobe Illustrator you can ask anytime....

Some links to see the Use Of My Table
I want to build A CNC machine to use it for doming decals
You can see this video: http://www.color-dec.com/doming500W.mov
Or some information Here
http://developmentassociatesinc.com/scriptxyz.htm
http://www.liquidcontrol.com/pdf/automation/c500.pdf
http://domeit.com/
http://www.efd-inc.com/xyz/index.html

I want to build A XYZ machine for doming scripting
Doming Scripting
Doming: Applying a clear doming material
(urethane & epoxy) to the surface of labels, nameplates or decals for the purpose of creating a clear raised (?domed?) surface. Used to enhance and protect the appearance of these products.
Scripting: An automated doming process using XYZ motion to traverse scripted products.

I Almost finished the hydraulic part a precision metering system for two component.
I have to mix in Ratio 1:1 two parts and the mixed fluid has to be applied under (0.5 -1 bar) pressure on decals or stickers by the dispense valve.

I design a table for this job


I think to buy from http://www.lowcostcncretrofits.com the 5Axis Servo controller.
and use the mach3 to control the motion.

The Question is :
Is that possible to make this motion


Or look at the video
http://www.efd-inc.com/media/800qtm-media-micro.html

As you can see  The Z
Goes down then
the valve is open then
run the X Y path then
Stop the Valve then
The Z  goes up

and loop to the next path

Is that possible with mach 3

i will buy the mach 3 but only if it possible to make this kind of motion


 sorry again for bad My English

Please if you know or you have an idea answer me...!
