LazyCam ver 2.64 and G(Mode) generation of G41, G42
« on: September 04, 2006, 01:13:21 AM »
Hi, Brian

While working with another user on Current ver of LazyCam.

It appears that the G41 and G42 are reversed when being generated with the G(Mode) command..

This is in Default Mode, There dosent appear to be a way in User.pst to change this.

The two .tap files i've changed the G41,G42 around and Rem the Post ones out.

Mabey it's somthing else wrong as i havent used cutter offsets much.

Thank's, Chip

Thank's Brian

Hear are 2 views from Mach3.081, I no there are allot of people using offsets with it.

In the View 1 below, climb is off, corrected G42 instead of (G41 as LC posted) the cut is now inside and is to the right side of line cutting in non climb as it should be.

If you leave the LC posted G41 the view shows (inside cut) but the offset is applied to the outside as seen in view 2 the cut is still non climb but doesn't agree with the leadin.

Thank's Chip

Hi, Brian

Enjoy your trip, I have looked at this some more, If I use the Keep Layer info. option as it is, it posts code OK except for needing to swap the

G41, G42, The other Load Options seem to have some problems with the G41,42, as you stated it needs a thorough look through.

Thank's, Chip

Hi, Brian

So how was your trip, tryed LC generated G-code in latest Mach3D1.90.091 still the same problems.

Thank's Chip

In the next week I will be getting back to Lcam. I have been working in Mach3 getting some small bugs out. We are very close to having Mach3 to the point that we are very happy with it...  After that it is Lcam time :)

Hi Brian,

Regarding LazyCam I have tried something similar to Metaza machine from Roland - impact printer. I modified a cnc machine and instead of Z axis I have replaced with an electromagnetic plunger which is hammering each dot times corresponding to Z depth. Everything is going superb except the speed which is very slow around 30-40 mm/min, between dots. The rapid is around 5000 mm/min. I mention that there are no limitations of the machine in the respects of speed & acceleration. Could you, please, help to modify the speed? How I can change the speed between dots? It is not a matter of machine; it is a setting matter as during the simulation is the same speed. If the speed can be changed (I did not figure out how) then we can do the same things as Metaza is doing, but on regular CNC with electromagnetic plunger instead of Z axis assembly. I have already produced some photoengraving and the quality is very good but the time is too long due to low speed.

Thank you.

Zoltan

What is making it slow? Are you using G00 moves to get into position?
