Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
It would be good with links like this on the linuxcnc home page and of course even better with files themselves if there are no copyright restrictions. I have attachad a pdf-file which is interesting.

I could confirm it works perfect, it was a really simple fix.
Then I look at code to add a widget does not seem to hard.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
I pushed a fix for hal_dial to 2.7 - not sure what you are using.
eventually it will cycle thru to master (and later releases)
The fix is simple (two lines) if you wish to just add it for now.
in gladevcp/hal_dial.py
# handle the scroll wheel of the mouse
def _scroll(self, widget, event):
if event.direction == gtk.gdk.SCROLL_UP:
self._count += 1
self._minute_offset +=1
self._delta_scaled += self.scale #<<<<<<<<<< this one
if event.direction == gtk.gdk.SCROLL_DOWN:
self._count -= 1
self._minute_offset -=1
self._delta_scaled -= self.scale #<<<<<<<<<<< and this one
self._last_offset = self._minute_offset
self.redraw_canvas()
self.emit("count_changed", self._count,self.scale,self._delta_scaled)
I tested on my machine it seemed to work fine after that.

In sort of the delta scale is a little bit slippery. It slip while using the
mouse wheel and only graphics is moving but no update of value. Then left mouse
button is held down and dial is moved by moving mouse pointer both graphics and
value is updated.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
a lot of the pyvcp widgets suffered from update problems i dont know about gladevcp widgets, but it sounds similar. how to fix in gladevcp, i dont know. i have not looked at the widget code yet i will set up some oscillating value for a glade meter to follow and experiment I understand the need for scaling the meters, sort of zoom to look closer at the process in real machines, we had a switch on the ammeter to change the shunt, and a switch on the voltmeter changing resistor divider an electro-mechanical solution so we could watch low voltages and low current better we had no solution to watch midrange values closer regards tomp tjtr33 On 01/11/17 04:51, Chris Morley wrote: > That sounds like a bug...wheel or mouse should move it the same. > > - Reply message - > From: "Nicklas Karlsson" > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" > Subject: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments > Date: Tue, Jan 10, 2017 1:35 PM > > > > In sort of the delta scale is a little bit slippery.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
Yes it does but it also have a bug. It only works then moved by the mouse but value is not updated then using the mouse wheel sd I did during the first try, it is good enough for now. I could fine tune and will finish of others before starting something new. On Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:45:24 + Chris Morley wrote: > > Hal dial has a pin called delta scale I think.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
Hal dial has a pin called delta scale I think. Then changing the scale (by clicking) only changes the scale of future dial moments, which is what I think you want. Chris M - Reply message - From: "Nicklas Karlsson" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Subject: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments Date: Tue, Jan 10, 2017 12:34 PM I discovered the limitations of the hal inputs, what is needed is: min max scale increment value increment value change from GUI A choice to between actual or scaled value None of the do it all.The hal dial may change the scale but what is really needed is possibility to change increment value for fine tuning.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments
I discovered the limitations of the hal inputs, what is needed is: min max scale increment value increment value change from GUI A choice to between actual or scaled value None of the do it all.The hal dial may change the scale but what is really needed is possibility to change increment value for fine tuning. Despite these small limitations I still think glade user interface designer is really good. Since source code is available it is also possible change, if anybody could give me a hint maybe I could look into it but I better start with the unfinished g-code database, I think where will be few hours for it this weekend.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, g-code, fork on repository
Nicklas, i think i presume too much edm experience, sorry for positioning, most edm systems use a low power sensing circuit really low, like 12 V at 100ma is plenty if you are positioning, this low power sense circuit is always in operation if you are cutting, the spark generator is in operation one or the other is connected to the toolholder and the worktable at all times when positioning: so if you are positioning, then something like 12 volts at 100 mA is seen between the tool and the work if the tool touches the work, the voltage drops, and you have contact if the voltage appears you are free to move about when cutting: if you are cutting, the spark generator supplies a pulsed voltage to the tool and work this voltage is integrated, and the integrated value is evaluated if this voltage is seen to be high, the system moves 'fast' if this voltage is low, the system stops forwards motion and reverses direction in between there is an ideal voltage that the servo system tries to maintian the speed varies from 0 ( when sensed voltage = programmed voltage ) to maximum in positive motion ( when sensed voltage is 'high') to maximum in negative value ( when sensed voltage is 0) in between maximums , the velocity is proportional so a simple voltage drop is used to 'touch', the entire machine acts like a switch ( open or closed ) the code to switch from positioning to cutting simple selects the proper guide voltage hth tomp tjtr33 On 12/24/16 03:06, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: >> Merry Christmas to all >> >> Iam presuming we could use the probe sequencing as a way to find centre of >> a hole , or find an edge >> in the same way as a mill , just inhibit any power or in the case of a wire >> keep it stationary > The sparc generator have the potential to sense the voltage and I guess there > might be some close up effect like capacitance or maybe even a change in > voltage depending on distance.

Then i copied the row from "halcmd show pin" it worked. Problem is manual claim it should be gladevcp.speedcontrol1-value while in reality it should be gladevcp.speedcontrol1.value and this is in contrast to -s -f used for other widgets. It might be because I use 3.8.0 while manual is for older version. Do anybody knew of a change like this in 2.8.0?

"halcmd show pin" will tell you which pins actually exist. Is it possible that the HAL is trying to connect pins before they exist?

Merry Christmas to all Iam presuming we could use the probe sequencing as a way to find centre of a hole , or find an edge in the same way as a mill , just inhibit any power or in the case of a wire keep it stationary is their any edm machines actually using gcode / m codes? perhaps we can use the same if theirs a common trend , i presume there will be .

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, g-code, fork on repository
User interface seems rather simple although I have some problem with widgets to get numbers into linuxcnc. I almost got something useful to test machine manually but for real machining programming is needed. Happen to know any more or less g-codes for these motions? g-codes for control of flush? g-codes for control of EDM power source? As soon as user interface start to be more useful it is also time to create som kind of fork so I could upload it to the repository. I guess the the same will also happen with the g-codes then I start to look at them.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface
Nicklas 'ram' is another way to say 'sink' eroding, the kind that uses a shaped tool 'wire' is for cutting thru a plate 'tube' or 'drill' or hole popper' for holes 'grinder' for for open surfaces multiple solenoids can be used to control flow if a series of ports are on a single feeding pipe then the output of 1 has most pressure and least flow and when 6 ports of same size are open, the result is more flow and less pressure i think monitoring/sensing flow is more useful than pressure in my experiance low flushing pressure with 'enough' flow reduces wear and high pressure increases wear i have used radically high pressure on rib cuts and got high removal rates ( high penetration speeds ) but always had high wear, and even risked deforming the thin long tool. (jumpin is more practical IMO ) in some machines, we had a variable flow control it was essentially a dc motor connected to simple garden valve there was a limit switch set to indicate when the valve was closed software control of flow was simple if you wanted a new flow rate... close the valve ( turn motor in one direction till switch closed ) then back the motor off N plc cycle periods ( this opened the valve proportional to the time ) a flow gauge was used to set the levels , so each machines' plumbing variations didnt matter to the lookup table tomp tjtr33 On 12/20/16 23:21, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: > I do not know if it is called ram, it is four axis: x,y,z,c.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface
Nicklas hello 2 basic motion types are useful ( at least 2 ) 1 is jumping, a way to remove debris, the debris generated in erosion needs to be removed, it lowers the conduction of the environment and disturbs a voltage drop based control flushing thru the tool is very good but it is difficult to put small flushing holes thru the tool these holes need to be so small that the overcut is slightly larger than the radius when such a small hole is used, there is no 'pin' left in the hole a pin is easily thermally deformed and shorts the tools and disturbs the control a large pin is strong but needs to be removed mechanically afterwards ( extra machining ) so, without these holes,the motion of jumping is used. no holes are made in the tool the method is to cut for a while, then retract some distance and return to the cut this action 'pumps' clean fluid in and dirty fluid out it is very effective and the user does not need tiny deep holes thru the tool (I've drill many feet of .012" holes thru graphite electrodes) really high speed jumping will even remove carbon deposits on the tools ( these deposits change the conduction too ) ( this carbon is not from the tool but from the electrical splitting of the oil into hydrogen and carbon ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNSh_OL035E jumping is a great aid in cutting and even in arc prevention 2 is orbiting orbiting is a motion related to cutter compensation the tool size can be exagerrated by motion, and the exaggeration is programmable the tool is smaller than the desired form by an amount that is suited to the roughing power settings after roughing, the same tool can be used to finish despite it's energy envelope is smaller the smaller energy envelope would not 'reach' the work surface UNLESS the tool is moved off center the tool is moved to make it describe a larger tools volume. orbiting can be 2 or 3D in motion and 2 or 3D in undersize. http://www.edm.kd-solution.com/en_edm11.html the big reason to orbit is to reduce the cost of making the electrodes in most cuts you need multiple electrodes to make a single form because there is wear on the tool when it is used and each tool has to be replaced onto the tool holder in _exactly_ the same position, orientation, and shape in old non-orbited sink edm different sized tools of the _same_ shape were made and this was very expensive and time consuming these tools were the rougher pre-finisher and finishing electrodes with orbiting AND good tooling, only a single form has to be produced (say 3 to 5 times for high precision cavity ) so you can make a 1" cube cavty with a .990 cube rougher and .996 prefinisher and .998" finisher OR make 3 pcs .990" cube see its just easier to maintain precision also orbiting lets you adjust the final size ( you can make the tool too small and still egt the right final form and precision the tool MUST be made with the orbit used in mind the cnc edm will 'unwrap' the undersized that is 'warpped' onto the electrode there are limitationa and tradeoffs to be considered ( generated corner radii, cutting times, and more ) so jumping ( esp high speed jumping ) is really a flushing technique and orbiting is a way to make precision cavities with better control over production and cost in general, edm is only used of neccesary and modern high speed mills have reduced the need for most sink edm work but the are forms that the mills can NOT do sharp inside blind corners and thin deep ribs in these operations sink edm has a strong position, and needs good strategies to remove stock efficiently orbiting and jumping are basic strategies that are proven to make money for tool makers theres a load to this I have written edm orbting routines on Fanuc System 8 thru 11 and for Heidenhains 306/406/416 series the orbits always communicate to the erosion power settings databases to determine the new 'radius' of expansion so its a lot like cutter comp being used for roughing then finishing passes regards tomp tjtr33 On 12/20/16 20:50, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: > Yes I am retrofitting an old EDM machine.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface
Hi Nicklas, I have a large Makino wire EDM with a working envelope of 1200x900x300mm with UV axes for tapered cutting. I also am looking to update the machine but have other projects in front of it. One neat feature of my wire machine is edge finding and locating the center of a hole if re-positioning material. Realigning the coordinate system based on a new position or rotation of the material would be nice by locating the center of a pair of holes. My Makino supports some of this already but it is a 1980 reel to reel mag tape machine and the controller is not too practical today. Is yours a ram or wire machine? If wire, have you worked out movement history to back a wire out of the material? Dennis > From: Nicklas Karlsson > > Yes I am retrofitting an old EDM machine.

Finally I have all the necessary hardware parts, some are still on desktop not connected to machine but they are tested to work: servo drives, digital IO, spark generator. Right now I start to think about user interface and as I remember someone started work on this earlier. If anyone is interested I could share hardware drawings or others.
