General Mach Discussion / Re: Re-start the program from a different line

« on: January 27, 2010, 02:09:38 PM »

What I was trying to say is that it I can't choose coords and it still moves the X 1st and Z 2nd...

thanks for your help anyway

I noticed that when I use the option start from here it won't let me choose the position the machine will start, it automatically choose the coords of the line before I want to start...

Seems no one is brave enough!

Anyway I did a test and when positioning it moves the X first and the Z second. Let me say this is really stupid since in a lathe this means piece collide.

If anyone knows a trick to invert this (Z first and X second) please let me know!!

Thanks again

Hi Phil,

I understand, so the safe Z is useless on lathe.

One last important thing, when the axes move to prepare to start from a line is there a way to move the Z before the X so the part does not collide?

This is because the axes move at the same time and of course they collide with the piece.

If anyone knows the answer to this it would be really appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Hey guys,

thanks for your fast and helpful answers as always.

Regarding the safe Z I didn't quite get what does it mean.

Let's say if I use a safe Z of 3mm what will happen? Note that I'm talking about Mach for Lathe.

Thanks again and regards

Hey everyone,

I would like to know if it possible to re-start a program from a different line, not the 1st one.

I remember I tried to do it once but the axes moved strangely and hit the piece.

Anyone can explain me how to do it correctly if it is even possible?

Thanks!!

Hey Guys,

I'm bringing up this cause I'm trying to do this work on a computer but when I'm in Screen4 if I right click on a button it doesn't allow me to change it to VB script; I right click and nothing happens.

Anyone knows why?

Thanks
