On a few of the older machines you can get some of the "real-time" positional data as well as spindle speeds through the RS-232 connections, and then you...

Out of curiosity, what are the fault codes on the Siemens controller after the shutdown?

One option would be using a break-out-board to get as many signal wires into differential pairs as you can. You will also need a down-conversion board to get them back into single signals. Also you...

To best clarify the comment about a disconnect between the software and machine code, I should explain where my mind is at. If, for example, Haas (or any other brand) decided to open their machine...

Funny you mention this; quite a few years back I bought an old machine with an Heidenhain controller for the sole purpose of trying to hack it. It was one of the only controllers that I could find...

A critical thing to note is that as 3D printer motion controllers become more and more advanced, their effectiveness with CNC machining work will diminish. The math involved in control planning...

I noticed this thread specifically a while back and wanted to throw some insight into the forums.

It is hard to pinpoint a good response since the initial disscussion/s is a more generalized...
