... Hi John - not a problem to include it -as long as we don't confuse people even more <G> I'll have a look for the part numbers for the "anvil-less" holders...
Thanks Art I have not built my machine yet so didnt do the motor tuning, as of now just working the program to see if this is the control program ill use (I...
... Hi Olivier, a lot of the modern "VFD" style motors rely purely on the case surface area to dissipate heat, that's why they are long. Old rule of thumb was,...
It seems the first step is to see if mastercam is throwing out any g- code that makes sense at all. To do this you need to do a very simple tool path and...
Hi guys I've just posted a Dolphin post processor with CSS, it's in files/posts/dolphin partmaster folder T_Mach3Rcss.ppr It's radius mode only, supports CSS...
... entities ... a DXF. ... second most ... spines, ... arc's, ... objects ... the ... problem .........I will be purchasing a copy of MACH2 this week...Thank...
I have been trying to identify the cause of an occasional miss step. It occurs at different speeds while jogging or G0/G1. When the stepper motor miss steps...
Hi Eugene: Sounds like you have a process that checks the port or interrupts the CPU every few seonds. Try the optimization.txtx document in the files section ...
Thanks Art!! :-) Your message about Kernel speed piqued my curiousity... It was set at 35khz. So I changed it to 25khz, restarted Mach 2 and did my test...
thanks art, please add the list for doing nesting control with x, y increment. i will buy two or three sets of MACh3 licence thanks Regards Johny chee ... ...
Hi Art I did not receive any answer to my last post, maybe you send it but I do not know where I can get it . Here I have two more questions : What g code or...
Yes you are the specialist here. But on most modern motors, we can add an electric fan as a quite low cost option. This will give the possibility to run the...
Hi, I've just joined this group to find out if Mach software will be a good alternative to controlling my MAXNC-10 CNC milling machine. After typing in "maxnc"...
Steve, how about posting a compiled post processor? Since the Mach2 version of partmaster does not allow compiling of new posts, then your work will not be...
... Thanks I found it, I had seen the motor setup page, but my mind was looking for something much more complicated I guess. My current software groups all the...
Hi Joe: Its on the ports&Pins config item. I recommend 25Khz unless a particular user find they can't get fast enough in that mode. Usually, it takes servos to...
HI Mario: The script call is RefCombination( 3 ) The number 3 is from adding the axis numbers. 1=X, 2=Y, 3= Z, 4=A..ect.. So 3 is for the X and Y only. To jog...
... No, it can be hard to search the posts, but many seem to be using MaxNC's under MAch3. You have started correctly by checking the MaxNC box. You need to do...
Hi: It is a point-cloud file. Few program will deal with them I think, but I know Rhino does.. Art www.artofcnc.ca ... From: "senerlabs" <senerlabs@...> ...
Thanks for the help, Art. I really appreciate it. I have been a machinist for many years and know machine tool programming very well, but know almost nothing...
Hi Sean: Your correct. The M6Start macro is called at the M6 call. Then , the system , if told to in the logic config, will wait until you press Cycle/Start ...
Jacques: Some of what your facing is because the files your using are not single lines, they start and end several times. Thsi creates an Up and Down problem ...
Yes, but I mounted it vertically so it rotates around X axis. If it rotates around X axis is A axis acording to Mach2 user manual isn't it? Thanks for the...
Good morning Art; What speed % should I be using for backlash, its at the default 20% I've got .0015 on my X axis, .002 on my Y And .0018 on Z I've been...
You are right. In fact it was you who inspired me to build my own 5 axis mill. That's why a chose this setup. I had a lot of fun with it using Max and CNC...
Hi: Yes, generally in Mch2, if an axis rotates around the X axis, then the axis may be considered as the A axis. This is not exclusive however, and there are...
