Rotary and linear axis not moving together in automatic mode.
« on: December 29, 2006, 06:50:48 PM »
Hello,
I'm running the program below in Mach3 (latest version).  When in automatic mode it makes the A-axis move first then the linear move in X.  It should move both axis at the same time.  When i move the the A and X axis in jog mode they both move together.  Also when I make a move with all or both axis in MDI it moves together.  Why is this happening?  Does it have something to do with the G81 drill mode?

Here is a more updated XML file.  The last one did not save my updates but the problem is present in both versions

Check out your toolpath config. I don't know for sure, but play with these and see if they fix it. post the code and I will try to run it tomorrow with your xml. if you don't get it before then.

I also removed the G81 from the line and it moved both axis together.  The issue is with rotating the A-axis and moving to the X-axis position at the same time, in the drilling mode.
"Config>Toolpath allows you to define how the toolpath is displayed", I don't think that has anything to do with the way Mach3 reads and interprets G codes.

Thanks

The A axis is not in the drill cycles :(

This is a program I used on my Maxnc machine before I upgraded to a larger machine.  I figured since it was listed as an input in the Mach3 manual it should make the movement simultaneously with the any other axis listed in the line.

Thanks for your help every one,
Never the less, amazing software and support.
