General Mach Discussion / I510 Lobo CNC router tool changer M6start and M6end file needed

« on: February 11, 2010, 07:33:19 AM »

We bought a used Lobo CNC router that originally had a tool changer at the back end of the machine.  We would like to set one up but the M6start file and M6end file is missing.  We were told by the previous owner that it had a tool changer when it was built for him but it was removed before shipping as he didn't need one. 

Link to the machine we have:
http://www.lobomachine.com/products_detail.asp?id=771

If anyone has this machine or a similar machine i would like to get this file from you?


Thank you

General Mach Discussion / Tool changer setup using mach

« on: February 01, 2010, 09:16:40 AM »

Hey everyone,
I bought a CNC router that has been used with a tool changer bay/rack.  The rack/bay is missing but i would like to set it up.  I'm not sure as how to approach this, the company this router came from had setup the tool change sequence but it's beyond the limit switch.  The machine can physically go beyond the limit switch but i don't know how to tell the machine to do this.  Any help would be much appreciated.

This is not for a Mach control.  I will use this on a Fanuc router.

I know there are wizards, i need the actual macro written in g-code with if or while commands.  Is there a way to see the source code for the wizards?

Does anyone have a pocket macro in g-code (fanuc or mach) style?  Looking for something that will have a length, width, depth x,y position. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / AXYZ CNC router conversion

« on: September 26, 2008, 05:02:20 PM »

I would like to convert an AXYZ Automation Inc. CNC router to run on Mach3.  I know the machine has a step motor so I think it is possible but am not sure as to the steps I need to take.  If anyone has converted one of these machines I would love to hear from you. 

The reason why I'm converting is for a client that needs a more user friendly control software than the TOOLPATH control software supplied with the machine.  The machine is manufactured in Canada.

Thanks
Alex

General Mach Discussion / Where are # variables stored? Can the result be viewed?

Where are # variables stored? Can the result be viewed?  If i define a variable as in the example below where is the variable and/or result stored?

The variables are read by Mach3 with no errors in format in the program below but I would like to know if the results are what I need.

#100=15(----RADIUS-----)
#101=24(----CORD WIDTH------)
#102=2.4032(x-addition)
#103=[#101+#102*2](-----X CORD with addition--------)
#104=0
#105=0
#106=0
#107=0
#108=0
#109=0
#110=[2*[ASIN[#101/[2*#100]]]] (-----THETA----)
#111=[#100*COS[#110/2]] (-----D------)
#112=[#100-#111](-------H-------)
(--------------------------------------------------------------------)
#120=[2*[ASIN[#103/[2*#100]]]] (----THETA----)
#121=[#100*COS[#120/2]]
#122=[#100-#121](-------H-------)
#123=[#122-#112](------Y-AXIS-APPROACH-DISTANCE-----)


Thank you
