Re: [Emc-users] Call an M Code from a Classic ladder output

I did answer my own question, I added a dwell time, then called the m39 from the m40, using subroutines. John, I am not sure how to use the M6 command to put the currently loaded tool away, back into the carousel. I am just doing this that way if the operator knows he needs to shut linuxcnc

Re: [Emc-users] Would this new item be of any use?

That's basically a crankshaft position sensor. I got the link from another guy asking if we could use it on a machine. The gear pitch needed is .160 so at full quad the resolution should be .040 or about a mm. There is a data sheet link on the Allied Electronics page. The price I think was

Re: [Emc-users] Tool changer finally working on our mill project

In my past life I worked with the CNC guys at Milacron in the early 90's before the company fractured into several parts. For a period of time Siemens sold them containers full of Servo motors and drives on a regular basis. They were a huge Siemens customer. Those guys were sharp. If they

I just have to wonder why your not using iocontrol.0.tool-change and iocontrol.0.tool-changed or am I totally off track and not understanding the application? JT On 11/11/2015 7:13 AM, Rick Lair wrote: > Good Morning Gentleman, > > Is it possible, to call an m-code using a classicladder

[Emc-users] Turning digital outputs on G-code move without slowing down

I want to control two digital outputs while in motion without slow-down. Now I use G1 with A axis. Neither Arc Blend TP settings in ini nor M62, 63, 64, 65 seems to help - I get a slowdown at the switching point. --

Re: [Emc-users] Turning digital outputs on G-code move without slowing down

Hi Marius, The problem is not the digital IO, but the A axis. Currently the TP does not support arc blends between rotary axis moves, so it falls back to parabolic blends (which can be slower for short segments). Rob On Wed, Nov 11, 2015, 7:31 AM Marius Alksnys wrote:

Gene, telling from my rusty experience from waybackwhen (and the RCA transmitting tube manual of 1962) I suspect that the one glowing tube has too much positive DC grid voltage, maybe resulting from a faulty driver (suspect: capacitors). The ouput power you are measuring comes from the other

[Emc-users] Call an M Code from a Classic ladder output

Good Morning Gentleman, Is it possible, to call an m-code using a classicladder output? Now that I have my tool changer working, I am trying to work into my ladder logic the ability to call a M40, and it will put the tool that is in the spindle back into the carousel, and then when the logic

Re: [Emc-users] Turning digital outputs on G-code move without slowing down

Actually this is simple single axis move. Ok, so, the receipt is to change it to Y (possible this time) and use digital out M6... commands? Are there any plans for TP to support 6 or all 9 axes? 11/11/2015 02:51 PM, Robert Ellenberg rašė: > Hi Marius, > > The problem is not the digital IO, but
