Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Is Mach4 really Hobby Material?

« on: January 23, 2018, 03:28:24 PM »

Sorry guy's,

that i have to disturb.

you are talking here about 200-300-400$ Software, not about "real" (sorry to use this word),
CNC controllers (10000-20000$ aeria).

Tom

PS that is all "nice to have" option

General Mach Discussion / Re: Bridgeport Knee Mill Conversion?

Hello,
had the same thing with this ePid fault.

i can see you are using CSLAB as well.

here the original answer from CSLAB as i went into this ePid Thing:

--- This fault can be activated by:
---  Bad Mach3 version. Bersions newer that 03.043.045 of Mach3 can cause ePID fault.
--- We recommend to use versions of Mach3 03.043.022 to 03.043.044. We always use 03.043.022 version as it's the most reliable in our opinion.

regards Tom

PS i "downgraded" to 03.043.022 and the ePid Thing is gone

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: Need spindle orientation for tool changer

« on: January 23, 2018, 09:38:50 AM »

Hello,
had a quick look to S600 Manual. it has a internal Position control.
maybe you can use this, an enable the positioning via digital Input.
Do the feedback (in Position) via digital Output.
thats how i did it on my machine, but with a Lenze 8400 Topline
controller.

Hello LM941,

did you ever get the spindle orientation running ?
i am in the same Situation now.

Thank You Thomas.

Hallo Marko,

bei der Berechnung bin ich bei Dir.

Wo ich jetzt noch drüber nachgedacht habe habe, ist das Antasten der 3 Punkte.
Wenn die Koordinaten der 3 Punkte genau bestimmt sind, ist die Rechnung IMHO richtig.

Da aber beim Antasten einer "verdrehten" Geraden der Tastkopf, welchen ja einen gewissen Durchmesser hat,
das Bauteil nicht am Quadranten trifft, sondern tangential leicht daneben, kann man den Radius des Tastkopfes
nicht einfach zur entsprechender (X/Y) Achse Sub- oder Addieren.

Bei der Bestimmung des Winkels der Y-Geraden dürfte das egal sein, da ja 2x mit dem gleichen Fehler gearbeitet wird.
Aber beim berechnen des Schnittpunktes der X und Y Geraden ist das glaube ich nicht egal.

Werde die Aufgabe mal meinem Sohn stellen, dem sein Abi ist erst 4 Jahre her, nicht 40 wie meine mittlere Reife.
Gruß Tom

Wir können uns ja hier weiter Austauschen bis zur Realisierung.

wäre schön, wenn Du die Lösung hast, diese hier zu posten.
Dann könnte ich das bei meiner Fräse auch implementieren.

ich denke mal, man braucht mindesten 3 Punkte (Geometrie ist nicht meins),
einen an der Y Richtung, zwei in X Richtung,
um X0,Y0 auch zu bestimmen.
