Ger, as usually you are correct. There must be some issue with converter and pc. Even today it happens thsr there is no com to vfd. I u plug the converter and plug it again and it works. Have no...

Dan,

You and I are thinking same thing. I connected to the VFD via Hitachi software and was able to set the rpm. It was good - it means that VFD is not faulty. Then I changed one of the parameters...

Here it is Dan,

Please change the extension to SPM.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the link. Here are some snapshots of the port. Beside rs232 to rs485 (com1). I have as well usb to rs485, so I tried with this one as well (com4).

Hi Dan,

I don't think adapter is an issue. It works with other computer under mach. WJ200 setting is unchanged as well. Only difference between this setup and old one is uccnc and modbus driver.

Hi Dan,

I loaded ver 16 and tried with different frequency addresses (0000 and 0001) and there are no changes. No rpm control. And I even tried to turn off frequency resolution and checked...

Hi Dan,
Unchecked feequency resolution, but still no luck. Only on off. No speed controll. Just to be clear, when I use the button to turn the spindle on, I shoud be able to overide the spindle...

Dan, thanks for response.

Yes I did it first, and didn't work.
This config turns spindle on but there is no speed control (frequency is always 196 Hz)

I really think it is a problem with Rhinocam. Spiral machining makes spiral toolpath and Rhinocam generates code that doesn't have g2 or g3 and spirals are made of segments, and as such, they run...

A bit old post, but I stumbled with the same problem. Fox, have you found a solution?

It is interesting, when I have a spiral machining, everything is ok, G code is generated and no problem with...

You are right. It looks like they didn't think about continuing with ramp down to the next layer from the current one. :(

Hi Melkiades,

Regardless of the tool, it does the same. Keep tool down is function in pocketing operation. I was referring to profile cutting.

I assume, I was not clear enough. So here is a shot of what bothers me.

So, is there a way of preventing tool to go up every time it starts new level of cutting but continue new level with...

HI guys,


I am wondering how to solve this issue with ramp in. If I want to make ramp in on every level, it does it, but I would like that Z axis is going down from upper level to lover, without...

When I wanted to save shop documentation a pop up window showed up and there was a check box "Don't show this dialog again", and I checked it. What a mistake. Is there a way to turn on this dialogue?...

Then, I will wait till they make it. :(

Is this going to be a problem if a max rpm is increased by 10%? Maybe not, but if rotor is not balanced for 20krpm then there is a problem.

Ai, thanks for your openion.

Milosh

Thanks for the answers.

So, it looks like, it is not good idea to crank up 18000 to something like 20000. :( I believe installed bearings in this spindle (china made) are for max 18000.

I would like to see a modbus spindle control. There was a comment that somebody has to write a driver, but....

How do you reference inner surface to outer surface? Do you have some reference pins?

Nobody?

As title says, what will be the limiting factor of a spimdle: is it the generated heath or the max rpm of the bearings installed?

Thanks,
Milosh

Hi BurrMan,

You made my day today. Thanks for the instructions.

BTW you gave me some ideas how to do it. It is all manual work, but I don't see the other way. First do duplicate face border of...

Hi guys,

I am crashing my head how to do this:

I made a cabinet, 5 panels, all butt joined. All panels are solids. Then, how to make all 5 panels "exploded" and oriented side by side on the...

Hi Zorbit,

It looks like there is no single operation. Thanks for idea.

I am looking for a solution of profile cutting where rough cutting and final cutting will be performed in oposite direction - one in climb, other in conventional. Haven't noticed an option for that....

Thanks for finding your text.

It looks like the link is broken. Any explanation how to use ball mill instead v mill in rhinocam for v carving?

Thanks
