Computer Crash - Mach3 (re)setup issues... help appreciated :)

May 6, 2015, 8:35 pm

It's been about a year and a half since I got my CNC set up and tuned... recently the hard drive on that computer died, and I was dumb and didn't back any of it up.

MY SETUP
-I have a Gecko G540, with the A-axis slaved to the X-axis. NEMA23 stepper motors. Parts acquired from cncrouterparts.com. E-stop button, but no limit switches or anything else, very bare bones.

MY ISSUE
-I remember before that I had downloaded the XML from Gecko, intended for use with the G540, and modified it slightly for use with my machine. I have the XML downloaded, and have no idea what I need to change. When I plug everything in and open up Mach 3, I get a green light on my G540, holding torque, no error messages, and when I try to jog Mach shows that the machine is moving, when in fact it is not.

OTHER SYMPTOMS AND INFO
-I used to hear the stepper motors make a slight noise when the program initiated, like they were being sent a signal for the first time. I no longer hear that noise :(
-In motor tuning I changed everything to match my rack and pinion setup.
-My parallel port is in EPP mode, as it is supposed to be

IDEAS FOR WHAT I MAY NEED TO FIX
-some sort of ports and pins setting
-something super easy I'm overlooking
-this is where you hopefully come in... haha

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ESPRIT Post Help - Adding G154-G159 Work offsets

Hey all,

I am working on Esprit 2014 and a Sodick HS150L 3-axis machine. I am trying to figure out how to add more work offsets into the post processor. We currently have one set of students (this machine is in an academic lab) using G54-G59 and I want to give a second set of people G154-G159 offsets.

I have found the variables defined in the code:

WORKSYSTEM1 : G54 ## WC System 1 Selection
WORKSYSTEM2 : G55 ## WC System 2 Selection
WORKSYSTEM3 : G56 ## WC System 3 Selection
WORKSYSTEM4 : G57 ## WC System 4 Selection
WORKSYSTEM5 : G58 ## WC System 5 Selection
WORKSYSTEM6 : G59 ## WC System 6 Selection

In which I tried to add
WORKSYSTEM7 : G154 ## WC System 7 Selection

This unfortunately causes the post to have errors and not post any code. I was hoping it was as simple as adding the variable, but I am learning it never is simple with post processors!

Thanks ahead for any help!

Need Help! Guidance with G0704 Motor Speed Controller

While using the G0704 on a 7075-T6 forging, I managed to overheat the motor and burn up the SCR1 and SCR2 on the controller board. I have a KBIC-125, Heatsink and a AC Line and Motor Armature Fuse Kit arriving tomorrow Thursday May 7.

For those of you that have R&R'd this component. Is there anyone that has a photo depicting the controller installed. It would seem to good to be true that this replacement would be as simple as unplug and re-plug.

I'd appreciate any constructive help.

Thanks

Recommendations for vacuum system?

There has to be a thread about this somewhere around here, but I haven't been able to find it with the search, so here we are.

I got a Zen ToolWorks 7x7 Arduino powered CNC machine about a month ago and am thrilled with it. It looks like it will do everything I need it to (mostly PCB manufacturing), but I have run into a snag: Every time I mill something I'm left with a dusty mess all over my bench. I know the CNC machines at my university have built in vacuum systems to suck up any particles that come off, but I have no idea how to go about adding this to my machine. Is there a specific vacuum designed for the purpose that can be easily (and cheaply) added on?

Thanks in advance :)

Any one no how to wire in a remote test fire button, the control board is a MPC6515.
I no you can do it from the control panel, but when adjusting mirror one it would be handy to have a remote switch.

800 mm Linear Rails and Bearings + Cable Chain carrier

I ordered parts with the intention of building my own CNC machine and never got started. Selling these parts unused, only opened to take photos. I listed the exact place I got them so you could see the specs but crossed out the original seller since I am not sure if that is allowed to list the seller/store.

Selling 2 SBR-20 800 mm solid steel rails mounted on aluminum mounts. Length is 800 mm x 20 mm diameter (about 31.5" long x .8" dia.)

Mounts have a ding or 2 due to shipping from china but rails are fine.

Rails come with 4 (2 each) SBR-20UU pillow blocks with bearing inserts. New in plastic.

Also included is a 1000 mm cable carrier that originally cost $40.00 (it was packed with the rails and blocks so I am including it in this package as well.

All together, these items are about 16 lbs or so and about 45" long when packaged(big and heavy). Will ship UPS w/signature confirmation.

FREE SHIPPING to continental USA, outside of that contact me for actual cost before purchase please.

2 axis, 2d arm, with soleinoid - to draw

Can EMC2 handle an arm style setup? I just want to motors on a desktop with a pen for drawing purposes.

I've build many 3 axis routers in the past, so I'm very familiar with the hardware setup and how that works. But I'm confused with an arm style setup, with the geometry and how I would even translate a .dxf into that coordinate system.

Any advice?

grbl vs mach3 vs linuxCNC

May 7, 2015, 6:37 pm

Thanks I actually didnt end up using the tinyG, I just used an arduino uno with the grbl software on it and wired it up (at a cost of about $13AUD for the arduino) I did find that using it with Chillipeppr CNC controller it worked well and easy to setup.

I'm now trying with the DB25 breakout board that came with the stepper motors and they run inverted. So in Linux CNC it took a little mucking around but I was able to control the steppers by ticking the invert box during the setup.

Mach3 on win7 on the other hand will not control them at all, So I'm going to try Mach4 with the parallel port driver and see if it works tonight, if not, ill put windows xp on and see how it goes.

The Chillipeppr interface is heaps easier to work with, if only they had a downloaded version with backlash compensation and a couple of other features, it would put arcsoft Mach3/4 in the stone ages..

Depth stopper for Z axis

May 7, 2015, 6:46 pm

Does anyone know of a good depth stop solution for the Z axis. I am working on a machine that drills a series of hole patterns into a slightly uneven/inconsistent surface. The variation across the surface I need to punch hole patterns in only differs about 1.5mm maximum and I need to make drill holes 9mm deep.

- The ideal solution I am looking for is something that will stop the machine or bit from dropping any deeper once the bit reaches 9mm deep. So I would set up my cam file to drill 10mm deep knowing that the bit wont go any deeper than 9mm on high areas and will plunge deep enough in lower areas.

- I came across this device in my search for a solution:
https://www.2linc.com/countersink_depth_stop.htm

They call it a countersink depth stop - I was thinking maybe I could set it up with an end mill bit - but the price is steep and I haven't heard or anyone using it.

Thanks for any ideas!!!

Need Help!! Exporting G-Code

I don't know why when I extract G-Code in either Mastercam or Camworks, the radius in the Gcode for G02/G03 is not the same as in the drawing. This happens with any inserts. Roughing, the radius is different which is understandable, but Finishing is different too. For Example in the drawing the R=.5, but the Cam generates R=.5313 when using the 80degree insert.
Anyone know why? Please help!!

I've read a few posts where some of you are using CNC Wizard. I followed the link to it, but when I went to the " find distributors" link, the page was bad. Can someone please let me know of any U.S distributors, and cost? I've done quite a bit of searching online, and even saw a 90 day trial with no direct download link. I sent them an email, but no response yet. Thank You!------------- John :cheers:

Problem SteelTailor Portable CNC cutting machine ,the X axis is cutting 4mm bigger?

May 7, 2015, 8:10 pm

(Q) In our SteelTailor portable CNC cutting machine which we buy in 2010 when cutting the x axis is cutting 4 mm bigger. Y axis is coming correct.

(A)
(1) Check the motor pulse value SETUP[F4]-----SYSYTEM[F2]------
NUMERATOR X: 769 Y:769
DENOMINATOR X:545 Y:545
(2) Go to “ LIBRARY “ select squireshape 500 * 500mm
(3) Set “KERF “ value as 00.00
(4) Fix a paper and a pen in placeof Test the machine and make the drawing on the chart paper
(5) Measure the dimensions checkthe on both axis.
(6) The practical way of setting is changing theNumerator value only,
For a 2 mm error changeNumerator value by 1 unit only for the axis which has error.
For example :
If after drawing you get Xaxis as 504 mm and y axis as 500mm
Set motor pulse as
NUMERATOR X: 767 Y:769
DENOMINATOR X:545 Y:545
Check if the pulse iscorrect by making another drawing. Keep changing only the numerator values to get correct value.

Slicing 3D Models

I am working on a pretty cool project and I need a way to take a solid model and print it out layer by lyter (layer height is variable) to a pdf file so that each layer can then be looked at, printed on paper, etc. Think reverse plastic printer.

123D Make isn't cutting it for me. I need something better without spending multiple hours slicing models up manually with reference planes in a 3D modele like Solid Edge.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I have searched high and low for different methods and haven't found anything definitive.
