Thanks for your reply. No, I'm not trying to stage tools. I didn't want to muddle up this thread by going into details on why my friend wanted his post this way. But here it goes!

Lets say I have...

I'm trying to modify a post to do the following....I am trying to save the first tool used (whether it is tool one, six, or whatever) to be used later after another tool has been used.

In this...

Using "Multi-DNC" software

MrMazak.....Is that "G94" supposed to be a "G98" in your reply? I've been browsing the forums and found another person using G98? Although, I have no idea what G94 or G98 do!

Thanks for your...

I thought I should add some sample code to to clarify what I am after. I want to pause the CNC machine for 1 second after issuing the "spindle off" command before I reverse the spindle and retract...

Thanks...Your code reacts the same way. It looks like the tapping cycle is broken. As a work-around, I will manually program the tapping cycle.

Once I program the full depth of the tap, what is...

Can somebody give me an example line of code for a typical tapping cycle for a Mazak M32 controller? I'm using the same G-code as an M2 controller (which tapping works perfectly) and here is what...

MrMazak.....Thank you so much...It worked like a charm! The Mazak manual does not explain this.

Does anybody use the Mazak M32 controller in "drip feed" mode? There is not much memory in the controller and we are using a cam system to produce G-code. I can successfully send "small" files into...

Sorry to say....I haven't done a thing on it! I just got back from a business trip and will be leaving again in a few days and will be gone for 2 weeks. No time to work on it! I will definitely be...

Ron22,
Yes, I have enabled the axis's. The CNC machine was originally set up with the limit switches configured for "Normally Open". The Delta Tau manual suggests "Normally Closed", so I changed...

kaye7877,
When you say "tune the servos from there", do you mean tune them through the PMAC parameters or tune the actual potentiometers on the amplifiers?

Thanks for your replies....I have not put it into closed loop mode yet. I thought to properly tune the card, I had to get open loop mode tuned first. Scott, what is "following error" while the servo...

I am in the process of retrofitting a cnc machine with the ISA PMAC Delta Tau motion controller card. The milling machine has ballscrews and DC servos. I installed three new Kollmorgen amplifiers to...
