General Mach Discussion / variable pitch pulley and cnc drive
« on: July 01, 2011, 11:56:20 AM »
on my shizuoka mill it has the pitch drive for the rpm change. i would like to use this with a stepper motor for rpm and have the vfd to just turn it on and off.
i have seen pics where it is done but are wondering how this would be controlled in mach 3?????

i was thinking of installing a tach to the spindle to read true speed. i dont think i can get mach to read this and act on it huh?

i have searched but cant seem to get the right key words..... ???

General Mach Discussion / 1 axis jog=smooth 2 axis jog= rough?
« on: June 01, 2011, 02:18:23 AM »
why would x or y be smooth on there own but both rapiding together makes for a very jittery movement? it rocks the mill pretty good.(5000#)
it is only 80ipm rapid
the servos are tuned well and have plenty of power  80v  40A

i have searched but cant hit the keywords to get the results i am lookig for....

thanks

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / g code help
« on: May 26, 2011, 02:42:10 PM »
why does my code want to cut at the machine cord z0?
i set it so the maneul tool change can be done by hand.

this is a single g code part that i got my g55 offset to make 2 at once. i have 2 vices on the mill.

General Mach Discussion / z home switch for toolchanger
« on: May 18, 2011, 02:24:27 PM »
i have a switch on the quill for the tool changer home postion. it is about .100" before the limit switch.  pin 15 on the bob.

i need the quill to run up to this switch for tool change.

what setup do i need? i have the inputs tab enabled for the z home. pin 15
the switch works on the diagnostic page.

is there a g code comand to tell it to rapid to home switch.

i have searched but the ref home and such makes no sense to me. i just want a comand to z switch.

thanks

General Mach Discussion / help with pci pp card
« on: October 15, 2010, 11:51:08 PM »
i pieced together a computer for my mill and got a mobo without a  pp in it. so i get a cheap card to run the pp.
it comes up with some different address for the mach to use and i try that with no joy.
in the bios there is 0/zero setting to adjust parallel port. no mention of it anywhere. ecp or the other settings......

is this my issue?
can this mobo really not even run a parallel port card?

i am not sure what to call this problem but will try and describe it acurately.

i have a saved file from dolphin cad/cam that i cut yesterday and tryed to cut the same file today but there is a difference.

now, the thing runs fine but there is a 0.5-1.0" step all the way around the shape. it still runs the program but all at steps thru out the shape.

i changed nothing and are not sure on how to make this run smooth again.

thanks matt
