Re: [Emc-users] EDM

You might try Petegruende...@att.net Years ago he put together a sinker driven by basic code. One of the demo's was a thread cut in a file. ;-) There is a massive thread on emc_dev about feed and gap control. Also you might want to contact Steve Stallings as he did some work on a board

[Emc-users] EDM

Finally I start to get together both hardware and software including generator for my EDM machine. I work with electronics and are new to mechanical machining and EDM in particular. Do anybody know if anything more than adaptive feed rate including backwards have been done for EDM? Nicklas

Re: [Emc-users] LinuxCNC as laser cutter?

I've been inside Universal Laser Systems lasers. The laser doesn't have a throttle, just an on/off for the beam, and it's like this: The beam is about 0.008" dia, 1/125th of an inch. If you specify <100% power in vector mode, there is a Pulse Per Inch (PPI) factor used. If you specify 50%

Re: [Emc-users] LinuxCNC as laser cutter?

Linuxcnc works fine for Laser cutting , Laser rasterising is a totally different matter , and needs to be looked at from a different perspective it also depends on how your laserbeam is switched , and the modulation type used . their is some limited information regarding rasterising on the Wiki

I'm testing JA13 on my tiny gantry machine. For those that want to use/test it but are bewildered about building it I'll keep builds of the deb with instructions here gnipsel.com/files/linuxcnc/ja/ JT

Re: [Emc-users] LinuxCNC as laser cutter?

If you have problem with PWM signal generation there are plenty of cheap micro controller development board available although protocols may be worse. I guess it could be an idea to search m-codes for "professional" laser cutters or maybe reuse codes usually used for spindle. 2016-04-30 3:48

Simplest to understand would be one program automatically loaded on each USB stick. With a label on each USB stick a minimum of computer knowledge would be required. > I would go with network, but the customer wants USB flash. They are not > very computer-savy. I wish to help them to find

I would go with network, but the customer wants USB flash. They are not very computer-savy. I wish to help them to find better way. 04/30/2016 07:46 AM, Chris Albertson rašė: > How are you getting the files onto the USB drive. It seems simplest if you > could loose the USB drive and move files

[Emc-users] Animatics 5000 controller info, dropbox link this time.

Big Thanks to Chuck Searcy at Moog Animatics for digging through old backups to find this technical and programming information, and software for the 5000 series servo controllers. One thing to note, small programs can be uploaded to the controller to have it run headless. Light Machines and
