Help with config
ereibsane
I'm not sure if I have a config problem with Mach3 or my post
processor, but I'm sure this is the place to find out ;-). There is a pretty simple file under files here on the forum called Test File.tap. When I load the file in Mach3 it stops at line 159 - which is line 161 in my editor - and reads "G28.1 Z5". This line appears several time earlier in the file without a problem. My theory is that it is a reference problem - my Z Axis DRO shows something like 42". This a plasma setup and the Z Axis only has about 8" of travel. The second file is called KCroy.TAP and it will not load beyond line 967 - 969 in my editor - which reads "G02 X4.987 Y2.189 I-2.466 J1.351" I commented it out and it then loaded to 3484 - 3485 in my editor - " X7.401 Y2.588 I3.408 J0.095", so I commented that out and stopped at 3494 "G02 X2.538 Y2.354 I1.858 J-0.219". With these lines commented, the file will run but obviously not a completed design. I don't even have a guess on this one. My post proc. is set for Absolute Coordinate values and Incremental I J for G02 G03 Circular so I may have it configured incorrectly. I put my post processor out in the files as Mach3-Mill XR-onecnc. Some details on my setup - OneCNC Profile XR for posting, Latest Mach3 as of a week ago, MP-1000 THC, and a DynaCNC table. Any assistance in getting this final step of my migration finish would be much appreciated. Thanks, Eric Chain Gang Designs, Inc. |

Not sure abouy the first, Id have ot see the code, the second is easy, use the Config/IJ mode to switch to IJ Inc. This usually fixes that one.. Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support Forums Users Map: ----- Original Message -----

Thank you Art, I'll take a look at that. I put the G Code files and
Post Proc. under Files/Chain Gang Designs here in the forum if they are helpful. Eric Chain Gang Designs, Inc. --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., art <fenerty@a...> wrote: easy, use the Config/IJ mode to switch |

G28.1 Z5 says: Move the head rapidly to +5 inches then go find the Z reference (home) switch. Does this have the floating head and Z switch? The post should call for something like G28.1 Z.5 and the head should move to .5 then move at the referencing speed (set in config/homing) unit the tip touches the metal and starts to shove the head upward and trips the swtich. This should zero the Z DRO and then the next move is to raise the head to take out the overtravel and leave the tip just setting on the material and the Z at zero. Since there is probably no way to program the post to automatically do a reference just prior to the next pierce after moving "?" inches (mine is set for 20 inches) like we do in SheetCAM, you will need to add the reference in manually or on every pierce. I could not find your code in the files. If you want you can post them to the support site for the MP1000-THC (CandCNCSupport yahoo group)in the files section and I can help you get'r goin!
