Re: [Emc-users] EMC tool length touch off

I have a PDF copy of the Fanuc oi-mc manual and I read the section 14 on tool length compensation and it does not say anything about storing the actual tool length from zero (home position).It says that all tool length compensation values are offsets from programmed position to actual.

Hmm probably nobody. Why? That solution can report percentage of execution. and works only in stepper sistem. The solution should be steper and servo friendly. If we want that precision then assuming coherent file we can just calculate percentage from CurrentLine/TotalLinesInFile*100 % And

Hi My first time here, hope you can assist. I have a working stepper driven lathe under Mach, but am not happy with Mach on many levels and use Linux for everything else, so am migrating to EMC2. I have all the basic stuff working, but I cannot do any threading. I have a single pulse from

I'd consider buying a real encoder off Ebay or similar. With a decent encoder, and the software properly setup, threading works exactly as expected. Just make sure that you don't get an encoder with too many Pulses per rev if you are strictly using a LPT port to read the encoder. I purchased
