General Mach Discussion / Re: REF All home

ok Sounds good so far.
first would be to get the referencing working of the single axis.
means:

press Ref Z make sure the referencing Z is working, upwards to your Limit switch
press Ref X make sure the referencing X is working
press Ref Y make sure the referencing Y is working

if we have this working, we will create a customized ref all home script

MACH TOOL BOX / Re: TUBE COPING program

the code is running the subroutine 180 times (G98 L01 L180)


that is the reason why the orignal uses #variables to calculate values by runtime.

if you have Limit Switches for all axis, it should be no Problem.
maybe a Little Change in the ref all button script.

+ a Floating head connected to the probe Input for detection of material surface,
then you can "cover" all

we are very sorry, that our Magic glas ball can not see the line 758 of your code.

first Change your M6End code to:

REM The default script here moves the tool back to m6start if any movement has occured during the tool change..

REM x = GetToolChangeStart( 0 )
REM y = GetToolChangeStart( 1 )
REM z = GetToolChangeStart( 2 )
REM a = GetToolChangeStart( 3 )
REM b = GetToolChangeStart( 4 )
REM c = GetToolChangeStart( 5 )
REM if(IsSafeZ() = 1) Then
REM    SafeZ = GetSafeZ()
REM    if  SafeZ  > z then StraightTraverse x, y,SafeZ, a, b, c
REM       StraightFeed  x, y,  z  , a, b, c
REM else
REM Code"G00 X" & x & "Y" & y
REM end if


normaly you set your G54 Z Zero to the top of your workpiece, and work then with neative Z values to do the Job.

in the M6Start macro you can add code to get the Z axis to a Position where you can do your tool Change.

in M6End is only code needed if your cam does not bring back the Z-axis to a Position where it is needed after toolchange,
but your example G.code does this, so only one part of Software should o this (G-code or M6End macro), never both of them.

for a first test have a look to your M6End macro, in Folder C:\Mach3\Macros\Your Profile Name.
try to comment the code out by using Rem at the start of each line.

anyway your code is sendig the z axis to 1.5814 after every toolchange.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: trigonometry center
« on: April 23, 2018, 09:50:02 AM »
the macro does not swap axis, it is Rotation the X/Y plane,
so if you do a jog in X (on Keyboard) then will both axis move-

anyway the macros's are not for trigonometry Center probe, they are for probing a twisted part.

maybe you can use two spare Inputs on the Controller for MPG A/B and do the selection
via Screen Buttons ?

the machine will only do what in M6Start and/or M6End macro is coded.
as Long you don't Show us your code, we can only look in our magic glass ball ;)
