Just starting off on gibbscam, and coming across a problem when duplicating operations. I wanted to look at the neutral code to see if the problem lies with the cam system or the post processor. ...

I watched your video earlier today. Thanks for making it.

After watching it, makes me wanna change our all the factory cap screws to nicer ones.

What folder are you in?

Macros are usually in the library folder. All the renishaw probe cycles are in the library folder. You should be able to see them all.

Can you share a picture of...

I don’t know what to tell you, I just did this to my doosan mill right now and it works. It’s a 31i model b controller

Which controller do you have exactly?


I made an empty O9013 program...

Should be #5403

G Code Overview

What exactly are you trying to do?

G30 is 2nd reference point.
G28 is z home position

G28 will take the mill all the way to the top. I could be wrong but I believe the g28 position is based off the limit switches.

G30 is...

O9000 programs should always be visable. All you did was turn on the option to edit them.

Renishaw inspection plus is usually 9700-9899 in program numbers. If you don’t see it you don’t have it.

That’s not how it works. General practice to install the renishaw inspection plus subprograms in the root library folder. Take a picture of your directories

Its not quite opposite as you describe for G30. G30 is just a user defined reference point. On your mach 3 machine, it went back to 0,0,0 because thats probably whats defined in the system...

Thanks for posting your follow up

#5284-#5303 should control G30 for Mach3


Working with mastercam and Nx, I try to hold off updates if I can. I will post a sample file with the software before post and post a sample...

Tormach uses a Tend TM1308-1 for X and Z. Tend TZ7311 for the Y axis. They are unshielded.

tormach actually has a post on their website for x7.

It looks just like mpfan or mpmaster. I end up rolling my own, but using generic haas, or...

I agree with this. Using a high speed and low feed could be prematurely wearing out the cutting edges of your drill.

I highly doubt the machine is losing steps. But here is a way for you to...

Nice work keen. Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't this be a "crash damage resistant" design, as opposed to "crash resistant". All likeliness of crashing is still there. As seen here

My day job is a cnc programmer for a fairly large company, in my offtime I run a small machine shop out of my garage. Without my own product line, biggest problem for me right now is trying to find...

the tormach did fine. Even though I wasn't trying, the machine held +-.001 pretty accurately.

The tolerance issue was due to miscommunication and lack of information. They told me tolerances...

First of all let me apologize for hijacking the thread. haha.

Just making sure i understand, you like it when thread goes off the rails? I was going to explain what I meant by adding custom M...

I saw 5 axis and was expecting a newer control. I really wasn't expecting a 0 control. Would you please check these parameters if you don't mind.

220 - 229
230 - 239
and
240 - 242

I am assuming this is a fanuc control since you said it was a Miyano. Do you know if the m-codes M140, M141 are written into the ladder or are they alias mcodes? i.e. what is in system parameter...

The right post should be able to handle that. Ideally you shouldn't have to hand end any of the code. Since its x5, milling should be included with the cam package. Its a bit odd to be running so...

Theres a cheapish fixture plate on ebay. What do you guys think?

not sure if anyone else is not seeing the promo codes enco is still running but they aren't on the front page anymore. Looks like they are still running promos though, found some promo codes on...

Im not really protecting this thought of 10 positions that are hardcoded into the program, its just one way I thought could help OP. If its just 10 positions its not very hard to manage. If its...

I've done it that way before too, but that is all assuming the fixture spacing is equal distance from each other. There is a million and one ways to code it, in the end it all depends on the scope...

a million and one ways to skin a cat but wouldn't it just be easier to make the program a subroutine to update the workoff. If you wanted to add a "tweak" number so that you can shift all positions...

looks like its the same motor for the 770, so I would assume its the same specs. and yes it can do threads.

it was interested for me to find out there are separate models for the 770 and the 1100, I assume this is why the weight is different from the 770 model and the 1100.

I think it would have made a...

I'm in Houston. Let me know if you're willing to part out some items.

I picked up a tormach rotary without the driver install kit from someone here on the forum. I just ordered the series 2 to series 3 motion upgrade kit. The plan is to upgrade the stepper motors...
