General Mach Discussion / Re: mach3 turn threading issue

I see the user has made an inquiry over at the UCCNC forum. Lets see where that leads to as far as an answer.

The UC400eth uses an encoder for threading ABI signals required.

Just a thought , (;-) TP

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 why fixture save and tooltable save on shutting down?

Yes it will ask you that. You can turn that off in config. But when you do teh save it does save to the file so it is saved other wise all changes are only saved at shutdown.

Go to the Config button press, go to the bottom Save Settings and press.

General Mach Discussion / Re: THC issues. Torch dives in holes

OK back to teh beginning. Are you using a Mach3 plasma profile ?? When you say it dives in a hole what exactly do you mean. It dives when cutting a circle or it dives when crossing a void (hole).

I have used Mach3 for
plasma for MANY years and never have I see anti corner dive not work if setup correctly.

Teh anti corner dive is an internal process. IF teh actual feedrate drops below teh threshold you set then it blocks teh THC down function and teh torch cannot dive until teh actual feedrate goes back above teh threshold value.

Do you have it turned ON ??

Adjusting teh feedrate in Gcode does nothing for antiDive. The antidive is based on teh programmed feedrate and teh drop from there. Adjust your antidive feedrate to 10% or less (;-) and try it again. It works fine IF you use teh correct values.

Remember put teh value of 10 or less in teh setup field. NOT 90

There are 2 anti dives. Anti corner dive and anti dive.  Anti corner dive is controlled from teh Mach side and teh Anti Dive(hole) is controlled from teh THC side. It appears you are only addressing teh Anti Corner dive and NOT teh anti Dive(hole).

Are you SURE you are setting teh AntiCorner Dive correctly ? IF I remember correctly teh setting is a percent of slowdown from programmed feedrate. So it would need to be 10% ?

Hi Roger there are several M1076 macros floating around. It was modified several times officially and many times unofficially.

I asked Art one time IF mach3 could do encoder threading and teh answer was SURE it is possible but he was not going to put teh time into it for teh few people that were using it for turn.

Yes teh old dos based controllers could do rigid tapping and threading they had a real time kernal (;-) Many Comercial controllers used DOS a lot longer that most people realize. Why do you think they drip feed them ?? Limited DOS memory.

OHHHHHH  the old days, (;-) TP
