General Mach Discussion / Re: Mill or Turn?
« on: May 04, 2019, 01:46:27 PM »
Ok, progress is made- I now have a working turn setup using my screenset, spent a few hours and reconfigured my mill X & Z axes so they now work as a lathe should, homing, soft-limits all ok.
I can now run turn code straight from Fusion and it all seems to run ok.
Only air-cutting as i'm still waiting on a part to finish my lathe spindle build.
I have an issue with threading however, still working on this, it will run the first pass of G32 but as soon as it reaches the end of the block it will e-stop with the message "E-Stop button pressed"
Cant figure out what is making it think a button was pressed or what settings are wrong yet.
The motor is still wired for the main mill motor/vfd but it does have an encoder and will happily rigid-tap.
This is with the CS-Labs IP/A controller.
Any ideas?
