General Mach Discussion / Problems in Setting up 4th axis!!!
« on: September 05, 2008, 02:47:04 PM »
Hi Guys:).. Need ur help, recently I finished my 4th Axis and installed it on my DIY MDF Machine... Following are the settings:
1- My controller is set up in 1/2 step mode
2- Gear down ratio is 28: 108 (1 :3.857)
3- Stepper 1.8 deg. (200 steps)
4-My steps per degree will be 2 x 200 x 3.857 = 1542.8?/360??
5-Pin Signal
2 X axis Step
3 X axis Direction
4 Y axis Step
5 Y axis Direction
6 Z axis Step
7 Z axis Direction
8 A axis Step
9 A axis Direction
Currently I am having following problems:
- Currently getting weird problem in Mach3... Visual mill generated continuous rotary tool path and it looks good in simulation mode as shown in figure... But as soon i get the G code in the Mach3, I am finding the toolpath strange as shown in figure
Attached also my motor output, inputs and toolpath configuration setting,..
Please also check and confirm the A-axis motor tuning shown in my next post. Are the figures right.
