General Mach Discussion / Re: Unable to load my NC-File

« on: March 22, 2012, 12:19:41 PM »

I loaded the standard screenset and it worked OK on the PC, the file loaded and the file ran OK. BUT the mill did not, not a sound , complete deed. I am confused and unhappy.
I have uninstalled and installed the MAHC3 to no help.
The funny thing is that the wizard in MASH3 runs OK (it is a -tap file) but not the one I load from my cam program (CamBam with nc-file). Have not had any problems before. It all started when I tried to load and run "MachStdMill" software and then unloaded it.
What to do??

General Mach Discussion / Unable to load my NC-File

« on: March 22, 2012, 07:47:31 AM »

When I am trying to load a NC file I get this: "ERROR,# Expand File not found at:
C:\Mach\ScreenSetMacros\1024.set\Masters\Headers\CopyRightAndLicence Notice.mls" and the file will not load.
 I can load a wizardfile and run the machine, but not a file made by me which I could before.
 What to do? Thanks

Thanks for nice words.
No the tip is madi in my lathe of silversteel, but the ball is a 3mm ball from a ballbearing. It is first softened, glued to a holder and a hole 1,7 mm was made. Then it was hardened and glued to the shaft.

Hi all.

I now have made the probe and installed it to my mill and everything works well.
Attach a picture of the probe and the wiring diagram I have used.

RICH & Tweakie, thanks both of you.

Now I think I understand the working principle. The two wires go through the hole on the side of the body and connects to the small 1,20mm hole at the Fibre Glass Board and short the circuit as you explained. Mowing the ProbeTip the circuit is broken, this is the opposite of the simple probe. I mean that when the simple probe touch ground Mach3 is activated (axis stop moving). Can this bee sett in the softwhere- "high or low"?
Another thing I was wondering about,- how accurate is this Probe? Surly there have to bee some play/movement of the ProbeTip before the circut is broken and a signal given. Can this be compensated for by the software?

"Did you download the PDf file? "
Yes I have, and I have a lathe and a mill.
I have studied the drawings but is unable to quit understand it. I think that by touching you are making metallick contact in the y and x move, but what in the z direction?  Any electrical connections?
I have a mill and have installed a simple probe for x and y works the way the movement stop when the probe hits the metall (mill).
