Hi Robert, This is normal; or at least it should be at the beginning of each Modela cycle. It assumes you are always cutting into a workpiece bigger than the...
If you look at the code in a text editor, are there any negative x or y coordinates? With my PNC-3000, it's only happy if all coordinates are positive (except...
You may also want to check your tool size to make sure it fits the text size.... If the text is smaller than the tool, it won't cut... Because it won't fit. ...
Hi Thanks for replying. I am just trying to cut a test piece. It is a block of MDF 100 x 100 x 50 and am trying to shape it into a dome. After loading the stl...
I have received several new inquiries about the Mach3 interface board and have decided to run another batch of boards. I now have completed boards ready to...
Dear Andrew I would like to send you a lot of bare boards as a thanking for you efforts and sharing spirit of the solution. 30 boards (not assembled) sounds...
That would be wonderful. Thank you. I could send you postage, if you would like. Andrew Andrew Loen 846 Carrie Street Victoria, BC V9A 5R4 Canada ... That...
Hi I have noticed I am using Modela ver 2.2 and there is a version 4 available. When I try to extract the zip I get the message saying insert disc 1 of 7....
Robert, Modela Player 4 and Modela (~2.2) are entirely different programs. We need to get you working on 2.2, before you look at making 4 work. Regards, Dan...
I'm a newb to Mach 3 and am trying to get things going, but am having issues. My setup looks like this: CAMM-3 -> Loen Interface Board-> SmoothStepper->...
Nevermind fellas. I just needed a break to think about things. Back to basics... It turns out I made some bad assumptions on the numbering of each wire...
Just curious to hear if anyone has gone so far as to wire up the CAMM3's limit switches to Mach3. I was considering doing it, but maybe it isn't worth the...
My spindle motor (Matsushita SSC-852 AL) is in need of a rebuild or replacement. The stator contacts are well worn as are both bearings. I've replaced the...
hi there. I have a roland PNC-3000 with CAMM-3. Im using a PC with windows XP. my software is autodesk inventor 2011 & modela player 4 v2.01 + parser. and im...
My P1 and P2 are set to full travel. I have looked on the commands generated by modela player. And it seems that the X,Y coordinates are scaled down, dont...
the coordinates are writin as inch's. but I need it to be mm. it's allready set to mm in "preference > unit" eny suggestion why it does not change ?...
I have the same problem. the problem is that the program is writtin in inch's. which is a 2.54 factor. try changing the machine to JWX-10 dunno if the parser...
Is it normal for the mill to make a high pitch buzz when flicking the switch for the mach3 interface. The noise is the same as when you operate the mill in...
Yes, the motors change to an active mode, from a lower current standby mode. You can hear a definite change in the loading and the fan speed. All normal. ...
I am not au fait with MACH but it may be assuming the Roland stepper drivers will limit the current automatically if you stop stepping, not so. To get standby...
