Mach4 General Discussion / Lathe machine G76 thread work problem (video attached)
« on: September 19, 2022, 09:52:11 PM »
This is a lathe machine question using Mach 4 and smooth stepper.
Using the G76 command, there is a problem with the tapping operation.
The same is true for working with the job wizard.
The spindle starts rotating fine, but soon, it barely rotates, and neither the X-axis nor the Z-axis moves.
The spindle uses an AC servo spindle, and if you check the Smooth Stepper Diagnosis, the RPM is reported correctly.
The screen also displays the RPM correctly.
I currently set it to output 500 pulses per rotation.
Commands like M3 S1000 etc also work very well and have no issues at all.
There are no problems with other machining, but tapping operations is problems.
We have prepared a YouTube video below.
What am I missing?
