Mach4 General Discussion / Add a waiting time to the movement of the axes

« on: May 09, 2020, 04:17:05 PM »

Hi, I have a little problem.
can you add a time when you start the spindle so that the axes wait a certain period of time before moving?
I ask this because sometimes it happens that there is not enough electricity for everyone, especially if the wife uses the electric oven or washing machine.
this drop in current brings me errors.
the spindle motor is the one that draws the most current at start-up.

in this video cslab has shown that the thread with Mach4 works very well.
I must try well to understand where my problem is generated.

of which I know IP-A even the cycle G84 (rigid tapping) does not work.
I will explain.
it works but it is not synchronized (therefore it is useless).
on my IP-S it's already better, it does, the sore point is that every now and then it makes rapid movements without control !! so it can be dangerous.
Note:
I have warned cslab of the problem for 2 years.
to date with the plug-in V3.205 the problem still persists.

on my IP-S Backlash it works.

what did they answer about G76 thread ??

Hello.
have you already tried using the G76 loop per thread?
me and others have problems.
we want to understand if the cause is ours or CsLab.
I have CSMIO IP S.
you?

CS-Lab / Re: CSMIO/IP-A Mach4 lathe retrofit

« on: April 19, 2020, 05:43:29 AM »

we tried the V3.205 plugin
the results are still disappointing!
now we have to understand if the cause is in the transmission type, or is it really a CsLab problem.

I put evidence links, with images and video links.

you've tried?

we don't know what to think anymore ...
we try to replace trapezoidal pulleys with asynchronous HTD.
then let's see what happens.
thank you all for support.

it is mounted on the spindle line, ratio 1: 1 as per cslab instructions.
this lathe is not mine, it belongs to a great friend of mine.
for this I feel a little guilty, for having convinced him to use CSMIO.IP-S and Mach4 paired.
I own a small Optimun TU2807 lathe with the same hardware (smaller in power, given the small size of my lathe).
the only configuration difference is that I have a unique range, transmission motor / spindle shaft via asynchronous pulley / belt pitch 5 HTD.
I have a small mistake in case of wire overhaul, for this reason, we believe that the cause is the oscillation of the spindle turns caused by V-belts.

we use Delta ASDA B2 servo motors.
in turning it is very precise.
maybe we understand where the problem lies.
as spindle motor we use asynchronous + VFD.
to transfer the motion, between engine and gearbox are trapezoidal belts (original of the lathe).
probably the type of engine / transmission is not suitable.
I say this, because there is an oscillation of the rpm, caused by the trapezoidal belts.
from the various tests, we came to the conclusion that by starting the thread cycle, a certain number of laps is taken to activate synchronism.
this is maintained perfectly even in the presence of speed oscillation.
the problem is created when the cycle must be repeated several times.
precisely due to oscillation, data other than the first cycle is examined, causing damage to the previous thread.

have updated V3.205 plugins
they solved the problem of the mechanical ranges that produced error on the thread pitch.
The thread recovery problem has remained unchanged.
by looping, it completely ruins the previously created thread.
I attach images and video links (I apologize for the low quality of the video, my friend is not practical).
