General Mach Discussion / Rotary help

« on: October 06, 2007, 09:49:58 PM »

  I'm trying to do  rotary  cuttings  but  I could not  go  one step ahead so far. First  of  all  my A axis is not working. I enabled A axis and  marked as  rotary .To see A axis movements   I edited a 2d tool path .I have  replaced  all  X  letters  with   A  .Then  I loaded and run the g code. All other axis works but  A axis does not move. Am I doing something wrong?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Quick conversion of code from linear to angular movement

You don't need a switch, Mach has a "swapaxis" software function like I said in the beginning,

(;-) TP

   I try to  engrave text  on a  tube too . Can you give more information about swapaxis ? Can Mach3  convert  Y linear movements into angular ?

General Mach Discussion / loop function doesn't work properly

« on: September 21, 2006, 07:39:34 PM »

Sometimes I use loop function to pocket  rubber label moulds . Usually  there are 50 copy of the mould  on a A4 size magnesium  plate . With this way the  toolpath program  can be kept  smaller.  I use this function  because with the  10 mb of  toolpath program  mach3  gives  watchdog alarm. But  loop function is not user friendly.Let's say  I write  there  5  then I confirm with the enter then  start the cycle  but  if I pause or stop the  cycle for any reason   it turns again to  0 .  I don't know it is a bug or not.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach2/3 Hardware requirements?

« on: September 08, 2006, 05:15:52 PM »

My steppers require 1300 steps for per mm of movement . What will be the maximum speed  with a 1.7 ghz cpu speed ? By the way I have noticed that  the toolpath display uses too much  CPU speed (particularly with the  new toolpath display in jog follow  mode ) . Even the display is turned off  Mach3 says " generating toolpath" when a new g-code is loaded .It should be  a way to turn  the display off .

I like it  . but is it possible to enlarge the toolpath display  , let's say full screen ?

Finally  I have tried  to run  Mach3  with  my tabletop PC . THe spindle on-off function works  pretty well  at the moment . Thanks for the comments

General Mach Discussion / Problem in sharp corners

« on: August 06, 2006, 07:22:48 AM »

I don't know if it is a problem or  I do something wrong  when I increase the feed rate  Mach3  rounds the corners  of the cutting path .It is related with the accelaration   The more  acc  is  decreased  The more  the corners is cut round.

I have no oscilloscope  but I feel that the output comes  like  it is step pulse . When the motion fast  it can be measured  4.45 volt but the motion slow down it drops to 2 volts . I think it should be  stable ,  whatever the motion rate is . Is  this a fault of the  laptop or is it related with the Mach 3 ?
