Re: [Emc-users] tool length setting after toolchange

2010-08-10 Thread Rudy du Preez
There was extensive discussions about jogging and tool touching during pause or tool change. I did not follow all of it. I wonder if it is possible with a touch probe installed to have a probe action programmed after each tool change in order to set the new tool length, without using the tool

[Emc-users] PROGRAM_INCLUDE_PATH in addition to PROGRAM_PREFIX?

2010-08-10 Thread Igor Chudov
Let me first state that I love EMC2, it is awesome etc. I have recently discovered that EMC2 G code is a full fledged programming language with subroutines, conditionals, named everything, etc. Since then, I have been happy as a clam and writing G code functions for pocketing, facing, etc. So do

Hey, I like your idea, which is interesting to me because I currently keep the user defined M100+ files are in the same directory as the other ngc files - which is not a good idea since ngc files sometimes need to be deleted or changed, but the M files should be kept immutable. So if

Thanks Steve Andy; It was a NEWBE ATTACK. Everything is brighter at sunrise. Apparently I had tested a G96 S400 earlier in the day and never did a G97. The Spindle was going for 400 FPS on a 1 shaft. EMC remembers, even when I didn't want it to. Thanks again Don PS. Andy I havn't

[Emc-users] an exciting new setup: generated tach signal

Hi all, I have a VMC with low inertia servos and 25 amp 270 volt velocity mode servo amps. It has tachometers and 1/25400 inch (micron) resolution rotary encoders on the motors. I have been struggling with a bad tachometer on Y for a while now - it would come and go - and when people started

Chris, would you care to hazard a guess at how much phase shift you see from the 7i48 input to the velocity input at the servo amp? Neil On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 7:19 PM, Chris Radek ch...@timeguy.com wrote: Hi all, I have a VMC with low inertia servos and 25 amp 270 volt velocity mode
