Heres the problem. Just went to the machine,,,,, when I put in X1 - Y1 - Z1... I thought it would move 1", but it only moves 1/8". Have a suggestion?

When I go to the MDI sceen & input   X6  it does nothing, X does not move, I tried with jog on & off.
How do I get scale to inchs for machine coord's.

General Mach Discussion / MDI Screen

Sometimes the MDI screen works for inputs & sometimes it doesnt. How do you activate it?    Also I'm showing +90.0000 but I only have 30" axis. How do I set this so it will show actual inches traveled?

Is there a way to test both X & A axis at the same time other then running a program ?

General Mach Discussion / 4 axis on the ToolPath screen

« on: August 04, 2007, 03:01:26 PM »

I'm building a 4 axis machine. All the motors are running properly.
1. On the toolpath screen there is a 4 rather then an "A" why is that?
2. The X axis showes movement of the motor but the 4 axis stays at zero, Shouldnt it read the same as the X axis?
