Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Impact engraving plugin

« on: January 18, 2011, 01:50:03 PM »

Tweakie in my  parallel port there is connected a board.(The machined was initially bought to been built by a 'manufacturer' here in Greece.At the end he was blackmailing me for money,after a 5 months delay, so i had to finish it on my own)I will post the hall story to the post that i have to make.Goming back to the subject this board gives me Pwm relative to 0-5v.And on it i have connected and the signals for the motors as well.I have 3 Ac servo.So the schematic is not the same buti think it does the work.would a picture help?

thanks for your reply Tweakie.power is been set through pin 9 where is my sprindle speed control.I had pin 9 also in digital trigger.I will try another pin.But how to set the power in maximum when the output trigger pin is different than this of the sprindle speed, changing the speed (power)shouldnt make any difference

Hello guys. I said I will post a new thread but I didnt have any time!!I am facing problems with the engraving plugin.I read that the output for the plugin is the digit trigger.Is that right?I have it not enabeled and is still fires.The image doesnt look at all as it should be and general I dont think that is working as it should be compering with the results that I have seen from you Tweakie.Can Anybode guide me trough the calibration? I am using pin 9 from sprindle to use the laser.I have set pwm base freq 1000 and the pulley max to 100.My computer runs to 75000.So I have 75 different values that i can set for output.For the laser power control I think I am ok .Does The plugin  offer control of power? If there is a problem writing to this post please telll me.Thanks

TEACKIE THANK FOR YOUR REPLY
THE "MANUFACTURER" TOOK PARTS AND ASSEBLIED THEM!! I HAVE 3 AC MOTORS 1000W EACH  WITH THEIR DRIVERS "MAXSINE". THE MOTORS ARE OVER THE TOP AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUGH THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY TO BE SO POWERFUL!!! I AM FACING THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE YOU WITH THE WEIGHT OF MY BRIGHE X AXLE.~ 50 KG!!!!
STILL I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN MODIFY THE LASER OUTPUT ..MY LASER SUPPLY CAN MODIFY THE LASER OUTPUT BY PWM PULSE OR BY CHANGE OF VOLTAGE BETWEEN 0-5V..I READ IN THE MANUAL MACH3 THAT SUCH AN OUTPUT IS POSSIBLE FROM MACH3.
ANOTHER THING IS HOW ACCURATE IS THE MODIFICATION OF A DXF IN G CODE USING LASYCAM!!AND HOW CAN I STOP LASER BETWEEN THE CUT, FROM ONE PART TO THE OTHER.SHOULD I USE PLASMA MODE?
I WANT TO POST SOME PHOTOS!HOW CAN I DO IT? I AM TRYING FOR 3 MONTHS TO SET THIS MACHINE IN ACTION..
