General Mach Discussion / few problems

« on: January 10, 2010, 06:04:54 PM »

Let me explain what I am doing.
First off I do reference all after I start computer. I do referencing at 6 ipm.
1.   After loading toolpath and starting machine goes to my tool changing location at normal speed, then after z tool zero press start and machine jogs at 6 ipm.
Is this normal? It does not seem to be.....How do I change that?

2.  After loading toolpath and zeroing tool after starting machine goes to machine coordinates 0,0,0 not to work coordinates How is that changes?

I use smooth stepper setup and 2 BOBs by Campell design where my bobs are connected to smooth stepper board by ribbon cables and that is where I had issue.
If you still have problem explain your set up.

When G code calls for tool change, I would like machine to go in designated tool change position using machine coordinates.
For arguments sake lets say x48.0 y0.0 z3.5

In my general config I use setting "AutoTool Change" and I do my tool changing manually.
Just to give you more info I use blue screen and in settings screen within section tool change location I have designated already the above listed location.

Can anyone help me or explain how to set up tool change location in Mach.

That may be stupid and simple check if you have short in your ribbon cable and change it.
I did have similar issue at some point as I was changing stuff on my machine.
