Im running into issues with all the Haas Post processors in Featurecam. Im getting p9901 p9902 codes that Turbocnc just doesnt like. Anyone know of an existing...
... Use the post editor (Xbuild) and remove the stuff in the macro section. Also may work, as is, if you untick "used canned cycles". Steve Blackmore --...
Hi, Dave and Others, Could add soft limit in version 4.02??? For me it will be a great feature... I have a rotary axis "B" who can rotate 0° to 180° and in...
... I can see the different needs and wants for soft switches. my largest concern is a runaway axis impacting the end of the axis at full speed. I have thought...
Hi Eric, I have another approach to this problem which I call a "virtual" limit switch (VLM). A VLM is a PIC based unit that counts stepper pulses and,...
Hi I'm new. Have searched the manual and postings for info and came up short. Looking for info that would clarify how the home and limit inputs interact. I...
Paul, I will "attempt" to resolve your frustration as best I can. Limit Switches: These are generally set at the extreme travel positions for an axis. (However...
Hi, Paul: You can add another parallel printer card port and use ALL of the lines on it for things such as coolant, limit switches, home switches, etc. --...
Thanks Art! Further reading reveals that the control pins (on the p-port) can be used as input or output, so it should be possible to get more than 5 total...
Hi Jerry & Carol, Thanks! It seems so obvious now that adding extra LPT ports/cards is a possability. Don't know why I didn't think of it myself... Paul Carol...
... Only change the feed rate override during straight moves (G01). Do not adjust it during arcs (G02, G03) It's a bug/characteristic of the current TCNC...
Hello All, I've been using TurboCNC for a number of years now and have found this forum to be a great source of news, help and information. I have seen various...
I'd certainly like to have a look. You could add your site to the group links page.. PK _____ From: turbocnc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:turbocnc@yahoogroups.com]...
Hi Mark, the UHU controller is my project, its 'home location' is the german forum Peters CNC Ecke http://5128.rapidforum.com It is a really busy subject with...
What I was doing was rapidly changing the feeds to slow the machine down some. It was bogging a bit. To my knowledge it wasn't in an arc, but I cannot be...
Hi Mark, UHU servo is the best DIY controller I have seen. It is far better and faster than any stepper controllers.If you want to build UHU serve I have...
Hello, I offer this advice for beginning CNC guys and others. I have taken several training classes in Full size CNC machining on HAAS type machining centers...
Good points! I was thinking the machine had to home to get started, but in reality one can load material and zero the axis and start machining from anywhere,...
... Hi Marc, I don't think you broke any rules. if you spammed the list with a 'send to everybody' each day for a week, then I think you would be way cross...
Hi Those are very very good advices. And not only for the beginners :). If you use normaly open limit switches, connect them in parallel. If you use normally...
I mostly agree with your position that home and limit switches are of secondary value. I certainly agree with your reasoning. I can, however, offer an anecdote...
Do tell. What light was that you saw? ... _____ From: turbocnc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:turbocnc@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Kelly Sent: Monday, August...
Hi I think the best configuration is with soft limit. you configure the software with limit and on your machine the limit switch at each end of axes is...
It's a bit embarrassing. I'm sure y'all had it worked out before us... Essentially it's wrong to think of a stepper as an electric motor. Technically, it is a...
... I OK, that is different than the problem I've experienced. I'll watch for that. I do know that I can lean on the [shift-<] as long as a straight vector...
