Lathe feed rate fault
« on: March 13, 2009, 12:34:32 PM »
I've noticed a couple of faults with Mach3 Turn.
When screwcutting on a lathe, if the selected pitch exceeds the maximum feed rate in the motor tuning, there should be a program stop condition and error message. There should also be an error condition if there is no spindle pulse in G95 or G76. The lathe I've been using will just cut the wrong pitch if the spindle speed requires a higher feed rate than is possible. It will also run a Gcode containing screwcutting without the spindle running. This is with "use spindle feedback" applied.
It's been a while since I updated Mach3 so please forgive me if this has been fixed recently.
Regards,
Glen.
I had a few parts left over - still it's always the same when you try a bit of "do it yourself"
