General Mach Discussion / Re: Z axis will not go down
« on: February 09, 2010, 12:23:01 PM »
Start by halving the velocity and doubling the acceleration time figures in the z axis motor tuning.

You may have tuned the motor with the jogging set at 50%

You do it like this

To set a variable :-

#1=3 (use numbers #1 to #100  or #500 to #600)
#2=50
#3=[#1+#2]
#4=[0-10.5] (to set minus numbers)

To use that variable :-

G01 X[#4]
G02 X[#2] Y[#3] K[#1] F10. (etc.)

Scissors seem like a good idea to me, I cant see the shim staying put when you touch it with a tool.

NC Pod / Re: Ncpod is not recognized

Hi Ralf,

it is sad to say but the NCPod is not very well covered here, The moderator has not kept up to his promise so support is very limited, sorry but you may be one of only a hand full of users.

To reverse the Y axis you need to swap one pair of motor wires over.

Good luck.

Have you got 'Use diameter for feedrate' set in config toolpaths, and also the A axis rotation radius (should be diameter I think) set in setting screen.

The only way to determine the fault is if you post a sample of code. It only need to be the section that is causing the problem.
