no, rapids are 2000ipm, so 50m/min. max cutting speed is 35m/min running only metric.
HOLY COW, that's super fast.
Hi all
Im trying to find out how to change coordinate variables on the Syntec control. Im sorting out some issues on a omni router with and 11mb control on it. The tool height sensor location was never set quite right on the control it uses coordinate variables 26061, 26062, and 26063 for X,Y,Z locations. I tried trough mdi to change the variable by entering #26061=(new value) and executing but it comes up with illegal variable access. I can view the coordinates under diag ---> global coordinates, but cant seem to change the values there either. anyone have suggestion? these also do not seem to show up under the parameter section.
Yes, it is fast indeed! It's now accelerating at 0,42G, which is too fast for my likings, my current other machine did 3m/min, so this is a huge upgrade. I think i'll tame it down a bit to ~30m/min with the same acceleration, to save the mechanics a bit.
@xjdubber; Do you have a tool setup menu under coordinate setup? in that case you can do a delta-z calibration of the Z axis in the selected/active coordinate system. If the tool measurement location isn't set right, you can easily change it within that menu as well (x/y offset) If it asks for a password it's 520. I just moved my tool-setter from the front to the back of the machine and used this setting to setup the x/y coordinates of the tool.
if this is the case, and you do have a tool setup menu, it's just a matter of moving the spindle to the appropriate location, and choose the x/y button in this menu. it then automatically stores the then used x/y coordinates.
Entire procedure would be as follow
-F3>F3, (doing this without a machine in front of me, you need to go to the tool offset/measurement menu)
-jog to the right location where the toolsetter is
-adjust x/y in that menu (use 520 as passcode)
-change the tool number to the right tool (just select 'tool no', punch in the number followed by 'enter')
-press start (f1)
-after measurement go to the top of your stock (G54 is automatically active/selected) if not, change it to G54.
-hit 'z delta' to set the Z0 height for your G54. All tools will follow from that, so you don't need a 'reference tool', which is not needed at all btw..
Attached the used macro's. I can't find the location where the tools are stored though, i expected them to be in G999, since the tools are stored by typing G999T1XxxxxYxxxxZxxxx etc.
Hey ALL... SERUM
Serum seems to have quite a bit of experience and some engineering backround... especially when he talks about how many G's his machine is pulling..
Serum, is that a calculation you did on your own or do you know this some other way..
I have 1.3kw Servos on my machine.. but I limit Rapids to 1500ipm.. and cutting to 700ipm... I'm in INCHES...
I know I can probably step that up.. but I feel the machine moves very fast for me anyway.. FASTER than I can ever do work...
I drive my car fast.. but the machine, I'm a little more concerned if something were to go wrong.. and feel like i can reduce some wear and tear this way...
I had to figure out manually my tool height sensor postion, and enter it into I think the "4th" reference parameter for X-axis and Y-axis...
I'm not in front of the machine.. so I cant tell you the Parameter #, this was on my 6MB...
When going to "OFFSETS" menu.. there are some options under tool offsets.. but the documentation is non-existant, or very poor... SO I had to find a way to set up my Z-ZERO..
in a different way.. and all my tools follow that by using the tool height compensation commands in the program.. via the G43 H# way.
I think parameter 3411 was where the Z-axis different between the top of the Vacuum plenum and tool sensor top I stored.
I had to figure these things out with the help of MPG wheel...
HEY XJDUBBER !
I may be wrong.. but those variables 26061 etc... seem like "modal" variables that would be used by your Macros...
I wonder if in your TOOLCHANGE macro.. you can adjust those...
or maybe create a macro program that would write and update those Variables...
This may be best advised on by SYNTEC ENGINEER... or Maybe he can share other suggestions for this.
( Any advice we give each other here in the forum.. rather the PM.. can go further.. by allowing more than one person to view the info )
Hey SERUM.. HEY All...
And Here is an Example of How every Machine is set up differently by all the "authors/companies"
AND even more reason we will need each others help and knowledge...
I looked at SERUM's T0000 Macro...
His Machine Uses M86 and M87 for 'dust hood - Up and dust hood - DOWN"
If there aren't proper notes/comments (which there is usually very few and poor ones) it is very difficult if at all possible for Even a SYNTEC ENGINEER to help..
Because it's like having to think in "SYNTEC"s own language.. and also being able to read the mind of the author of the macros...
THANK you for SHARING SERUM...
Every time I get to look at some of these I learn something new...
You have a bunch of odd looking additional macros... Some are designed for the tool measuring process..
If you figure out how.. .I'd love to get a look at your ladder file..
I have noticed some M24, M22, M21 codes... etc... makes me curious.
Yours doesn't seem to be setup up.. to be able to know to measure tools after and ATC change...
My Macro is like 10 times longer...
Hello SYNTEC Engineer
Thank you for your Participation :wave:
I was able to get some stuff.. and got the MCLEdit program to work... and have been analyzing my Ladder file... and studying it.. to learn more about SYNTEC.
This prepares me to make some additions and modifications.
I have seen brochures.. as well as a vietnamese download site..
Is there a program called "Open CNC Macro" still in use...
It looks like you can load your macros into it.. and edit them.. maybe test them...
If I can get it.. and any instructions to install/set it up.. and any documentation in english to use it.. that would be great.
I also noticed and read about additional screens.. other users of 6MB had...
I know there is an app.. called
"Open Human-Machine Interface Editing Software - eHMI"
Is there a way I can get it with any documentation?
I run a windows 10 laptop...
PM if you preffer, with any instructions or info..
I check this forum almost every day...
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE...
Ok so now I've got a little bit to go trough, I think I know the screen that serum is talking about but when i set my xyz coordinates there they do not work in the coordinates used in the macro. I think your right Frankmali17 that they are modal coordinates, I just cant seem to find a way of editing them.
