I must make some production with 100 times the same acrylic sheet.

I’m searching to make a button script what can do the following:

- goto Safe Z
- goto G0Y0 (with a slower jog speed)
- goto G0X0 (with a slower jog speed)

The goal is, if I click this button then the spindle must go always back to center of the new sheet and then I do a new Auto Tool Zero.

I know the G0Y0 and the G0X0 command but not how to slow the jog speed. Now it goes to fast.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Ritmeester

G0 is a full rate move so you would have to set the Mach 3 to limit the maximum IPM of your machine as that is the value used for the full rate movement. If you want a slower rate of movement back to the zero location you'd have to use a feed rate or G1 move to accomplish this. The problem you'll have is that the Safe Z movement will put the control in a G0 state so the you would have to issue something like G1 X0y0 F40 for example to put the control back in to a G1 state and the F40 would be the feed rate.

Kenny,

I will tomorrow experiment with this and let you know.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I experiment with: (Metric)
G1Y0 F600 and G1X0 F600

This goes very well and I’m happy with this. I have also downloaded MachScreen 1.66 and will tomorrow make some buttons for this.

Btw, I can’t find the commando for “goto safeZ” I have this button on the remote but I also want to have this in the script.
