Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS - official announcement
Gentle persons: Thank you, Alex, Moses, and all the EMC2 team for keeping us moving forward. Three small points... 1. I suggest you update the home page for http://wiki.linuxcnc.org soonest to reflect what's shown in the sidebar on the home page for http://www.linuxcnc.org. Step 1: Download the iso from: http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc1-i386.iso (note: this URL might change in the future, reference http://www.linuxcnc.org/ for the latest download link, and for a description of known problems). 2. Generally I endorse keeping as many options open as possible, but with three different places to post bugs, I suspect a bit of confusion will creep into the process as some people look in bin A, some in bin B, and some in bin C. I'd rather have only one place to look to see if others are having a problem I'm having, but I can live with three. Let's just all keep our cool in the early stages of mass testing. == Reporting problems getting help == Reporting issues/problems/nags/ideas for improvements or anything else, can be done via email (on this list), via IRC (#emc-devel on irc.freenode.net) or via bug-reports at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6744atid=106744 Thanks for your patience, and for all the help to make it another great release. Best regards, Alex Joni 3. For me, at least, the most compelling motivation for keeping up with the Ubuntu LTS releases is the access to new hardware support in the linux kernel and its modules. My Google skills are getting rusty. Does anyone know a better summary of new kernel features than the pages posted on kernelnewbies.org (e.g., http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_32)? I suggest we post a link to them or whatever is better on our sites to help EMC2 users in their do I/don't I decision to upgrade. These are just the usual KentNits (as my staff used to call them). I'm downloading the new LiveCD now and can't wait to take it for a test spin tonight. Regards, Kent -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

Re: [Emc-users] is motor bad?
Assuming that Aram has the SD94P Servo Dynamics drives like the one he had at fest a few years ago: they have special software for internal tuning that should serve as a good check of the drive/motor. I don't know if the MotionView software runs on Linux. If that works then he can move on to checking the signals to the drive. Just my tuppence.

[Emc-users] Tool table, setting up offsets with a caliper.
Guys, First off, thanks to all for porting EMC to 10.04, it is fantastic. Just a question. I use quick change toolholders based on NMTB-30. I am trying to get a tool table started. And I wonder if I can simply measure the total length of the tool, in toolholder, with a caliper, and then subtract say 4 inches and use that as offset. OFFSET = TOTAL LENGTH - 4 inches Is that completely wrong? At least this way, it is easy to set up a tool table and it does not require complicated tool setters, etc. - Igor -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

And I wonder if I can simply measure the total length of the tool, in toolholder, with a caliper, and then subtract say 4 inches and use that as offset. Yes sort of. If you measure the entire holder including the drawbar screw part, I think you'll probably find some unwanted variation. You should find a way to measure from the taper instead. If you can turn up a ring that matches the taper, and you set that over a hole in your surface plate (or support it up on a pair of 123 blocks if you don't have a hole) and then use a height gauge to measure the tool, you'll get much better results. Also, QC30 holders have a feature that NMTB30 don't: they have a ground flange that is precisely sized and positioned relative to the taper. You might find that you have fine results just setting the flange on 123 blocks and measuring the tool with a height gauge. The flange on those holders is going to be much more trustworthy than the drawbar end. Chris -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

And I wonder if I can simply measure the total length of the tool, in toolholder, with a caliper, and then subtract say 4 inches and use that as offset. OFFSET = TOTAL LENGTH - 4 inches OK, I developed a procedure some time ago for doing this. It worked with EMC1, it should work the same way with EMC2. I made a thing that looks like a cylindrical square, but has a female R-8 taper in it. I set it on my surface plate and used a height gauge to read the total height of the cutting edge. I picked one tool as a master and calculated the length of all other tools relative to the master one. I could then enter this difference in length for all tools other than the master, which was set to zero. Using the master tool, I could do a touch-off on the workpiece. Switching to other tools and applying the length offset worked very well. See http://pico-systems.com/preset.html for a couple pics. I haven't done this in a while, as having no ATC, it is much simpler to do all work with one tool, passing all workpieces through the fixture, then change tools and perform work on all parts with that tool.

Igor Chudov wrote: Ed, thanks. What do you use to locate Z edge of a part? You cannot use a ball end electronic edge finder, right? - Igor I do use the zero tool. Usually I use a carbide end mill as a feeler. As mentioned earlier, bring tool zero down to just above the work piece, then jog it up until the shank of the end mill just slides under tool zero, then press the END key and enter the diameter in the popup box, press enter and your tool zero is referenced to the top of your workpiece. Always jog upward as you are setting the tool, if you jog down it might affect the position of tool zero. Incremental at .001 works well to fine tune the height. You could use your ball end edge finder as tool zero if you know the travel to actuation. Once you get used to useing a block or tool shank it is almost as fast.

You may check them,too but you need an oscilloscope or something like it some controllers have leds for motion input. does the motor make sounds ? you can measure the motor voltage on all 3 phases when running but be careful, read the manuals on how high it may be. 2. i used tester and check resistance OM between U-V-W wire from motor (nema 34 servodynamis AC servo) and it show that that they link. is motor bad? maybe not: on a servo motor with 3 phase it is normal. Check if all permutations show the same resistance (usuallly as low as 100 ohm) and the resistance to the ground / housing signal should be more then 1Mohm thanks aram some further questions Has the machine glass scales? what control manufacturer? bye Ulf -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS - official announcement
Thanks as always for the really good job, I wish I could have more time to write here in the mailing list and help at least with the most little thing. I will try this new version on my laptop to see how it works. Again thanks to all the people involved in this proyect, and I hope EMC keeps growing, I know it will. Best regards from Argentina. Leonardo. 2010/9/7 Kent A. Reed knbr...@erols.com Gentle persons: Thank you, Alex, Moses, and all the EMC2 team for keeping us moving forward. Three small points... 1. I suggest you update the home page for http://wiki.linuxcnc.org soonest to reflect what's shown in the sidebar on the home page for http://www.linuxcnc.org. Step 1: Download the iso from: http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc1-i386.iso (note: this URL might change in the future, reference http://www.linuxcnc.org/ for the latest download link, and for a description of known problems). 2. Generally I endorse keeping as many options open as possible, but with three different places to post bugs, I suspect a bit of confusion will creep into the process as some people look in bin A, some in bin B, and some in bin C. I'd rather have only one place to look to see if others are having a problem I'm having, but I can live with three. Let's just all keep our cool in the early stages of mass testing. == Reporting problems getting help == Reporting issues/problems/nags/ideas for improvements or anything else, can be done via email (on this list), via IRC (#emc-devel on irc.freenode.net) or via bug-reports at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6744atid=106744 Thanks for your patience, and for all the help to make it another great release. Best regards, Alex Joni 3. For me, at least, the most compelling motivation for keeping up with the Ubuntu LTS releases is the access to new hardware support in the linux kernel and its modules. My Google skills are getting rusty. Does anyone know a better summary of new kernel features than the pages posted on kernelnewbies.org (e.g., http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_32)? I suggest we post a link to them or whatever is better on our sites to help EMC2 users in their do I/don't I decision to upgrade. These are just the usual KentNits (as my staff used to call them). I'm downloading the new LiveCD now and can't wait to take it for a test spin tonight. Regards, Kent -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

When you start EMC2, by default, the workpiece coordinate system you last used is restored. If this was set to some repeatable machine feature like the vise jaw, and you reference everything off that, that might be acceptable. Otherwise, it is probably best to reset some of the workpiece coordinates for each fixture setup. I can tell you of disastrous high-speed plunges into workpieces when I forgot to reset the Z offset, particularly, on a new setup. So say I touch off with one tool from tool table, then switch tool to my desired cutting tool, and the cutting tool would automagically be adjusted vertically to compensate for difference in offsets between the cutting tool and the tool I used to touch off Z. Yes, if the tool lengths of all tools are entered in the table, and you engage tool length offsets on every tool, then this will work. In my system, I do it a little differently, the master tool has a length of zero, and I don't engage the length offset on that tool (it makes no difference as its length is set to zero). To be completely uniform, then you should set the length of all tools, but you have to remember to activate the length offset of that tool before touching it off.

My hideous technique is to lower the tool close to the part, then feel under the cutting edge with a .005 thick piece of paper. When the paper starts to drag on the cutter, I enter .005 in the touch-off window. This works surprisingly well.

Re: [Emc-users] Tool table, setting up offsets with a caliper.
What I am doing now is setting up a tool table using GUI. I first homed the mill. Then I would load one tool after another: for each of them, I would find the Z coordinate so that they barely clear a gage block. Then, I enter the minus of that as Z attribute of the tool. I will try with a piece of rubber stock, to see if that method gives me consistent height betwen the tool and part, when a certain Z is commanded. - Igor On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 8:26 PM, Jon Elson el...@pico-systems.com wrote: Igor Chudov wrote: Ed, thanks.
