To solve this issue in the post we ended up getting the original parameter file from someone who had an old contact at the Akira dealer (We had a mitsubishi rep out who found the info). I believe the...

Hi,

To enter the ATC recover mode push keys: Reset, Handle Mode, Monitor, Menu (until you see PLC-SW), PLC-SW soft key, Enter "1", Input, turn single block mode on. No you can push the Feed-Hold...

Hello,

I'm working on a new gantry robot for a testing application in which our client wants to use a mac to control the 5 axis robot with Kflop using Python scripting and a serial interface. Has...

Hi Tom,

Yes. V4.34i allows us to use C# to open the Gcode file in KMCNC per the example in C:\KMotion434i\PC VCS Examples\SimpleFormsCS, and DoPC(PC-COMM_EXECUTE) to execute it.

Thank you!
Troy

We currently use the Kflop to control a robot for a testing application. We use a C# form to create a G-code routine then use KmotionCNC to execute it. We would like to be able to automatically...

Solved!
So, I tried a few other things and got around the problem. If I use 4 digit numbers for the Tool ID instead of 1 or 2 digit, starting with T1000, T1001 for T0, T2 etc. Everything now works...

Hi Tom,

We recently switched over to KmotionCNC 4.33 for our gantry robot testing application and it has created a Tool numbering problem for us; We frequently wish to use the robot with no tool...

Thanks for the quick reply. 1 to 1 microstepping would seem to make sense. The incorrect behavior was observed with 16x microstepping on the MX4660 but perhaps the drive wasn't working correctly...

Hi,
I have been using Kflop + Kstep in closed loop step mode with encoders for a couple years to drive our 4 axis XYZA gantry test platforms with excellent results. I have now increased XYZ speed,...

What is the Kflop/Kmotion version? I'm not sure how old versions were laid out but typically in KMotionCNC you can go to the Tool Setup screen and look at each of the tabs for references to C files....

So the battery backup went out on my 2002 Akira Seiki V3 AXP mill and I had to re-enter all the parameters from the hard copy backup. A Mitsubishi tech came out to set the option parameters since I...

I have some external FETs driving solenoids at 12v, controlled by Kflop I/O 27,28,29, & 30. I want to use a C program in Kflop to allow me to PWM the solenoids to reduce force with an M code and...

Hi Projay,

Did you end up buying the Doosan? I'm also looking at buying a 2004 REVO 51P from Canada. Would appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks,
Troy

Hi Tom,

Correction to below! I was testing the code by using User Buttons with Exec/wait/Sync option. Turns out this is not the same as executing the code with an M command from the G-Code. (even...

Hi Tom,

Yeah I know I'm being pretty picky about this! :) Below is your CheckDoneFH program which I modified to create a square move in XY.
Behavior is:

Clicking Feed Hold while moving has no...

Hi Tom,

That code does prevent the Feed Hold button from doing anything while the axis is moving but has the undesirable effect of also rendering the big red Stop button useless.

Can we make...

I am using the following C program to change tools which are stored in a fixed rack at XYZ locations defined as constants in the CalData.h file. The problem is that only if a user hits the yellow...

Hi Tom,

The normal D gains are 0. The program causes the D to be temporarily set to a large negative D (d_low) when at velocities in the "freq" + or - "range" area with the "max" (lowest really) D...

Hi Tom,

The below code applies different gains with an exponential ramp in profile to avoid abrupt gain changes. Note that two target freqencies (velocities really), ranges, and D damping...

Hi Tom,

Thanks for taking the time to investigate this. Sorry for the delayed response- I've been dialing in other parts of the system and have finally found some settings that work for the...

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the input., I will try some negative P or D gains (positive didn't seem to have an effect). Hopefully I can apply the gains only in that 62.5 Hz frequency range with a filter?....

I'm building some 4 axis gantry style machines with Kflop + Kstep in closed loop stepper mode. XY axes have 270 oz-in 2.8A steppers wired in series with 900CPR (3600 ct) encoders and 5mm pitch...
