Re: Mach3 plasma acting up
you are correct Art, thanks for the reply. Saved me lots of grief. I had never had that happen before. One to watch out for. Again Art thank you very much for taking time to reply.

Mach3 plasma acting up
I am currently baffled as to what happened. I run CandCNC plasma system with mach 3 and recently ran into two computers with issues. I use sheetcam to generate the Gcode and all has been fine until

After a second pass at the transfer process, we now have our "files" folder transferred and the process of moving is complete.

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
The trick for using soft limits is to set then about half an inch from your hard stops. That way if your mill gets off a little because of miss steps you still have lots of margin.

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
so this only available with servo controller combinations that specifically have that ability? the gecko can be set to "fault" if position is off the intended position by various amounts but i think

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
Leadshine hybrid servo steppers and matching controllers use an encoder to feed back stepper position to the controller. If the stepper position is different to the demand position by a given number

I have now figured out the problem with my STMBL driven Harmonic Drive 4th axis and I can now deal with faults and power up under LinuxCNC but have as yet not figured out how to perform the same

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
I have these setup on my CNC router Been awhile since I set them up but have a Ethernet smooth stepper driving a cn10 bob from cnc4pc. Then followed the bobs wiring instructions to set up. Works

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
I have servos on two axes and a stepper on the Z but can change that to a servo if it would help. I have more problems with the Z than any other axis. I have a counterbalance and have adjusted for

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
I have never used soft limits. I use hybrid servo steppers and have error signals from the controllers feeding back to Mach3. If there are lost steps the program stops but position is lost. In this

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
I know the wiring can be confusing. Several years ago I came up with the LMTS-4I: https://www.soigeneris.com/lmts-4i-limits-junction-box (my website) to help solve this problem. You mount the box on

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
Someone please correct me if I have this wrong.... Soft limits are only good if your machine never loses steps. Once that happens in one directions the machine will stop before the crash (a good

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
Thank You for that analogy as I can at least understand it in the basic sense. I am terrified of the idea that any screw up on my part will render a $500 CNC Controller useless. I've been asked

Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
Think of the inputs in the G540 like a light switch on your wall. This particular light switch is OFF when it is up and ON when it is down. This switch also has a spring that pulls it back up (a
