your Change is defintly nor ok.

then you hit the probe during Z- move

General Mach Discussion / Re: REF All home

« on: April 27, 2018, 02:11:03 PM »

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

« on: April 27, 2018, 11:48:06 AM »

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

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 tool change problem.

« on: April 24, 2018, 04:13:16 PM »

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.
