FAQs / rapids are executed very slowly

« on: April 29, 2012, 09:00:38 PM »

I am having a problem with my G0 moves always running very slow. Whether the code is generated by lazy cam or input manually they always run real slow. If I edit the programs and change to G1 with a feed rate they work as they should. Is there a setting in configurations I am missing that is causing this ? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Looking for help with China made Mach only pendant. Uses USB and Comm ports to connect. I believe I have followed the instructions to install the pendant. All functions work as they should with the exception being axis selection. I have to select the axis I want the MPG to  operated on Mach screen. Mach does not seem to recognize the select buttons on the pendant. Any ideas ? Thanks

TP,  Yes ! I think I can get it now. The samples are so helpful. I will not have time to try again for a day or so. Thank you so much, I had no idea about the outside sub call, and will give it a try.

Thanks, I did figure out I was putting M30 at the end of sub rather than at end of main and that was causing the error message. I still cannot get a sub only written and saved to call back up. I am confused about the terminology. With my old allen bradley controlled mill there is both sub programs and subroutines with their own definitions. The terms seem be used interchangeably in mach. Your message says sub but then at the end you say subprogram directory. I cannot find a subprogram , but there is a subroutine wich is what I have been saving the attempts in. Can you please clarify and if not to much trouble write a short example of how you would do a sub only for storage.

Thanks for help, Scott

I have figured out from sample programs how to write a subroutine within a program that runs, however I do get an error message (Return called no sub in effect - looping). I cannot find a sample of and have not  been able to figure out how to write a subroutine only and store in subroutine file for future call back. Hoping someone would be willing to give an example of how to do this. Thanks

Can you explain the corelation of dxf to lazy cam to generated image size in mach ? I seem to have changed a setting such that everything I transfer to mach is now just a dot size and I have to really zoom to get it up to a visable size. Thanks
