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.
