Hi HypHyDef, I've emailed [email protected] with more information. Hope this reaches you :)
Thanks.
On further investigation and plenty of reading I'm beginning to think the issue lies with the configuration of the Hypertherm Sensor PHC and sheetcam code.
See example vid: ...
Is that with the machine running HypHyDef? As in, plasma on but not cutting?
Issue sorted.
SD62 is the correct way to enable / disable the programmable feedrate function. BUT, it wont work unless the factory had enabled the 'programmable kerf and feedrate' addon when the...
Hi,
I've set my Burny 2.5 controller to use programmable & digital feedrate input, using the method described in the manual (SERV --> SER10 --> SD62 --> 0C000005). The digital feedrate lets me...
Thanks for the replies Macy and HypHyDef. Sorry it's taken me a while to reply!
I've managed to get the THC working to a fashion. Turns out the screw terminal for pin 2 (right hand block) in the...
Managed to sort this out.... After setting SD50 I had to then select SERV97 - Var. Store function and then press the SHF key when the display shows "Warning check manual". This saves the new settings...
Hi,
I have a Burny 2.5 controller which is hooked up to RS232 and sheetcam. After adjusting the serial definition (SD50) variable on the service > system data menu from 2235 to 2135 (Changing from...
Hi,

Hi Tom,
Just got around to doing this. Thanks for the guidance, very simple indeed. Just copied over the Kmotion folder, plugged in the USB to KFLOP and located the drivers in the kmotion folder....
Hi Tom,
Ok I'll give it a go this week. I'll just need to install the KFLOP windows USB drivers, are these located in the Kmotion installation dir? Then copy the directory and hey presto.

Hi all,
Just a quick one. I'm replacing our old CNC lathe computer with a newer and smaller one. Does anyone know the official way of backing up a current Kmotion installation from the old...
Didn't think I'd posted this in the right sub-forum. Thanks for moving though.
Anyone any thoughts with this?
Thanks
Hi,
Bit of a story here, but please bare with me.....
Original Issue:
I have a KDA 3.2 drive, which was originally providing a sporadic and intermittent output to its spindle motor (Indramat...
Tom,
Sorry on the huge delay in replying. I've been off site for the past month unfortunately.
I did however, have a session on the lathe this weekend. And I managed to fix the problem (I...
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply.
Yep, I'm leaning more towards an issue with the KDA spindle amplifier. The KDV, TBM bleeder and TDM servo drives are all functioning as normal which is reassuring...
Hmmm so I fired the lathe up this morning, usual start up procedure. Enabled all axis through KmotionCNC. The Z and X axis came to life and function accordingly. But the spindle has a mind of its...
Hi Antlers,
Haha, good timing! I've just started a thread on the cambam forums with all the info and pics.

Antlers,
Sorry on the delayed reply. I've been working out on site for a few days.
Thanks for your cambam file, much appreciated! I've milled out the pocket after adjusting a few parameters. I...
Hi,
I have the attached solidworks model in which I'm wanting to mill out a pocket with a chamfered edge and radius's.
The angle of the chamfer and radius is important.
What would be the...
Hi,
I have late 1980's Wadkin V5-10 cnc mill with GE mark century 2000 control.

Hi all,
I have a Wadkin V5-10 cnc mill with GE mark century 2000 control. The machine is dated around 86-89 I think.
I am looking for information / datasheet / specs / pinouts on the General...
Hi Tom,
Thanks for that. We're getting somewhere now. So when I execute the following:

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the script. However not much seems to be happening. With the new code, when I run:
%G21
G98 G84 Z-20 R2 Q20 F1.5

Hmmm odd. This is my MySpindleDefs.h:
#define SPINDLEAXIS 0 // Axis Channel to Jog to rotate Spindle#define FACTOR (4096/60.0) // to convert RPM to counts/sec (counts/rev / 60.0sec)
#define...
Hi Tom,
Ok, so i set PrintRigidTapParams.c to run in thread 6. M-code M119 is set to VAR 60 (also adjusted in the C-program), thread 6 and Exec, wait, sync. When I enter and execute

Hi Tom,
Sorry I thought I'd replied to this nearly a year ago :S Apologies.
I have had CSS working without a problem. But given the high low gearshift from 400-500rpm I tend not to use it....
Hi,
I have a Colchester Triumph 7.5" Mk1 (Round Head) which is used every day in our machine shop. It's an old girl, but it is priceless to our business and is still used just as much as the...
Not a problem Tom. I hope they inspire others.
Quick example of the benefits we're seeing already..... The last video was the machining of a ball coupling directly into the end of a 50mm diameter...
Thanks Al,
No counter balance on the X axis. The servo motor simply drives the lead screw directly with a built in 24v brake.
