General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem just appeared with G91/G41 combination

« on: May 16, 2009, 02:11:00 PM »

Hi, Timmy

Hears a G Code file I use to set Mach back to a standard configuration, I usually use it as an m1s file.

; Start UP Re-Set Mach3 G Code

;' ( M1111.M1S Macro )
;' ( Needs to be installed in C:\Mach3\Macros\"Profile" You Are Using Folder)
;' ( Basic Default Location would be "Mach3Mill")
;' ( Change it as you need to )
;' ( For MM Units Replace G20 with G21 )
;' ( For CV Mode Replace G61 with G64 )

G15 ;Code "G15" '            Cancle X,Y Polar Mode
G17 ;Code "G17" '            Set X,Y Plane
G20 ;Code "G20" '            Set INCH Units Mode, G21 for MM
G40 ;Code "G40" '            Cancle Cutter Radius Comp. 
G49 ;Code "G49" '            Cancle Tool Length Offset
G50 ;Code "G50" '            Re-Set All Scale Factors To 1.0
G61 ;Code "G61" '            Set Exact Stop Mode
G69 ;Code "G69" '            Cancel G68 Rotate Coordinate System
G80 ;Code "G80" '            Cancle Canned Cycle Mode
G90 ;Code "G90" '            Set ABS Mode
G91.1 ;Code "G91.1" '          Set IJ's INC Mode
G94 ;Code "G94" '            Set Feed Per Minute Mode

G92.1 ;Code "G92.1" '          Set G92 5211-5216 to Zero

G52 x0 y0 z0 ;Code "G52 x0 y0 z0" '   Re-Set Temp Offset Mode

F100 ;Code "F100" '           Set Default F Speed To 10

M30 ;Code "M30" '            Program End and Rewind G-Code
%

Load it and run it, Then load your problem code and see if it run's.

Hope this Helps, Chip

General Mach Discussion / Probing with Ver. 2.00.046 Plugin Issues

« on: May 14, 2009, 05:22:43 PM »

Hi, All

Just fired up my Probe for a little testing.

With Mach3 ver .027 get this error Pic 1

With Mach3 ver .043 get this error Pic 2, It try's to run but fail's to complete the probing without a fight, It generates code, But it appears to not complete the final Z up and return to start point.

Any Idea's, I've tried it on 2 computers hear.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Radioactive

If your not setting the "cut depth" to a neg. value (-#.####) In your G Code this will/can happen.

Hi, David

I finally got the MAXNC 15 to test with, It work's just fine Hear.

Hears the XML file I used, Give it a try, It's setup in INCH Mode.

I didn't spend allot of time verifying that the steps per values or velocity/acceleration are set/optimized eather.

If this doesn't work on the same computer as max-nc software works on then It's got to be a Window's / Printer Port Issue.

Using ver.027,  Lic or Un-Lic ver of Mach work hear.

Hi, Kurt

You should use Config, Homing & Limits screen "Reversed" Column), Using Motor Output's can cause Issues with some Axis Control Board's.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems threading on the lathe

« on: May 11, 2009, 04:48:33 PM »

Hi, Art

Once I reduced the slot count down below 90 slot's threading works fine, one computer is fine, it's the second one with low min value .

I have a 100 slot disk to test with, Need to get the second OPTO working and adjusted for it though.

Thanks, Chip
