General Mach Discussion / Re: z axis wont move up but will move down

« on: March 07, 2017, 02:18:16 AM »

I was thinking that over on the other thread

But when that happens does it not move up for both up & down instructions?

Glad to help.

This next bit will be tricky without knowing the machine details.

Does it move at all when told to go up i.e. does it move down instead?

Or does it move down ok when told to go down but does nothing at all when told to go up?

OK,

right-click on it with your mouse and select "copy"

next go to "my computer" after clicking on the "start" button.

double-click on "C:\" - it should b there and will open showing some folders,

one of those folders should say "Mach3"

right-click on that folder and select "Paste"

that should be it.

CS-Lab / Re: CSMIO-IP/S or CSMIO-IP/A for a servo controlled router

I did my bridgeport mill with an IP/A - a very nice robust unit.

I used AC servo's from China and they were all analogue 10-0-10v control.

Definitely go for AC servo - no power supplies to buy or build and a nice compact unit

Servo tuning is a difficult step but not impossible, the CSMIO comes with a basic tuning screen which is good.

You should have a file with the name of mach1lic.dat - this is the license

shut mach down, browse to the mach folder - usually "C:/mach3" and copy the license file into that folder

restart mach3 and you details should now be shown in the title bar of the mach screen

Have you got a properly licensed install of Mach??

In demo (unlicensed) there is a code limit.

Purchased from Build Your CNC https://buildyourcnc.com.  Have not been able to get safety switch to work.  Using only one safety switch. Finally got my Y motor working but slave doesn't move.  Have wiring diagram but file too big to upload.  Can be seen at https://buildyourcnc.com.  Would like to send my settings file for someone to see where I am going wrong. I appreciate any help.

Hi

Does this guy not offer any support for the kits?


I'm just asking as he seems to be charging pretty top dollar for his stuff so i would expect good support?
