Mach4 General Discussion / page up, page down for z axis not working

« Last post by jlroch on April 17, 2026, 02:10:34 PM »

- mach4 hobby
- installed a new computer (thinkpad 540p)
- installed all software including mach4 (with latest update)
- mach4 works correctly EXCEPT for the page up/page down function for the z axis
- put old computer back, all works well including page up/down
- put new laptop back, still no page up/down

soooo, obviously it's a configuration, not mechanical issue.
i do not know how/where to fix the configuration.

MachPro General Discussion / MachPro pricing

« Last post by TOTALLYRC on April 17, 2026, 06:24:07 AM »

Hi Again,
I noticed that the pricing for MachPro Unlimited travel is $550 per machine.
I didn't see any other pricing until I searched for the word travel and much to my surprise, there are 3 price points based on machine travel.
18" is $225, 36" is $350 and Unlimited is $550, per machine. Not as awesome as Mach3/4 was but definitely a step in the right direction.
Please fix the website so that when you click on shop you are presented with the pricing options. If you want people to buy your products, please present the information in a clear, concise manner which is easy to find.
This also brings to mind a question, is the travel limit based on total machine travel? Travel in one axis? Combination of 2 axes? Inquiring minds want to know. Once we know the answer to the question, please update the website.

Thanks,
Mike

CS-Lab / Re: Will Mach or CSMIO work with this Mitsubishi MDS-B-SVJ2,please help me !!

« Last post by sundtek on April 15, 2026, 07:24:11 PM »

Currently I only have a prototype, I will design a full PCB within the next week.

sorry for linking, but if there are any requests or requirements just let me know

https://support.sundtek.com/index.php?topic=2661.msg20913

I expect it to turn to an official product within the next weeks, any feedback / comments / feature requests about it are appreciated.
So if anyone is looking forward to use mach with it I think I will be able to test it within the next 2-3 weeks too.

If you can get a copy of the Meldas M6x PLC / it's the ALL3 backup file you might be able to pull the pinout from the system - making it easier to map to specific functions. I have checked a few PLC backups and found comments inside it. Our Meldas M65 system had everything commented (128 output pins and around 96 input pins)

I know this discussion is old..

AC servo drive is MDS-B-SVJ2-20 rated 2kW


NC controller is FCA64-B,i think this is the 1st version,right ?


Base I/O is FCU6-DX541 and there is a HR211 on it.

I have just reverse engineered the FCU6-DX541 (the IO boards) and MDS-B-SVJ2 servos, is anyone still looking for Mach support for it?
My hardware bridges the main cable of the Meldas M6x to ethernet and presents everything on the PC or Raspberry PI.

Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO

« Last post by TPS on April 15, 2026, 08:15:38 AM »

no it is written to stay on the screen permanent, it is just like a box witch is showing up and
after input it will be closed.it is basicly written for DRO values not for MDI input.

for MDI input it needs a couple of changes.

Hello,
Is this topic still active?
I never got this to work but am going to try again.
Can this keyboard be installed to stay on the screen all the time on a MDI screen?
