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. On Sat, 14 Jan 2017 09:08:03 +0700 TJoseph Powderly wrote: > Nicklas,

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

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface

"halcmd show pin" will tell you which pins actually exist. Is it possible that the HAL is trying to connect pins before they exist? With embedded tabs it is best to connect them up with a HAL file loaded by the -H option: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man1/gladevcp.1.html On 23/12/2016,

Possibility to use the same is why I asked. TJ Powderly proposed some, I have manual for Sodick wire EDM and Charmilles ordinary EDM at home. I have never used an EDM machine but work profesionally with software development. 2016-12-23 12:24 GMT+01:00 Sarah Armstrong

I will look for the mcodes you uploaded. With g-codes I more or less thought about all the different letters although which letter to use is rather important. 2016-12-23 3:29 GMT+01:00 TJoseph Powderly : > Merry Christmas Nicklas > > On 12/23/16 05:12, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: >

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

Thanks! I guess I have to start dig thru manual to figure out how old machine is run. I have a few hours each night and tonight I would be happy if I could a gladevcp panel up and running. On Tue, 20 Dec 2016 23:54:19 +0700 TJoseph Powderly wrote: > Nicklas > 'ram' is

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

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

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

Yes I am retrofitting an old EDM machine. It have been a year two before I started but finally I have all the needed hardware. As is now I am starting to think about user interface and could vaguley remember somebody talked about it earlier, worst problem is probably I am not totally sure what is

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
