I changed that this morning and it works.

Once again, I appreciate your patience and quick responses.

To follow up with the last post.

After working on this further I changed the CNTS_PER_REV to 60 and the SPINDLE_AXIS to 7.

It acted very flakey when I hit the cycle start button but didn't...

I've been busy at work and finally got back to this thing.

I changed the VAR to 60 and now I get readings on the console when I execute a G84. But now what happens is it will move to the R height...

I've attached the SpindleJog.c program I think this is what sets the "S" action.

If I use the Jog7=200 command it outputs the step pulses to the VFD board but doesn't switch on the forward or...

I have never been able to jog the spindle as an axis. I have it configured as axis 7. But I cannot use bit 43 for the direction output.
In order to get the pulse width long enough to trigger the...

The spindle reacts very very quickly it is controlled using a cnc 4pc C6 board to convert STEP/DIR to an analog signal. From what I saw manually programing a taping cycle, it should react fast enough...

I did a short video showing what the machine is doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyp7XBCrblo

I tried that this morning and it makes no difference.

I'm having a glitch in Kmotion when trying to use G84.
I don't currently have spindle feedback so I was hoping to just use a floating tap holder.

The problem is when I execute G84 The command...

Thanks,

I was able to get it to work. I did put the whole code into the main INIT program and put the stuff that was in the forever loop in SETfro into the forever loop in the INIT program.

I don't know if it maters but here are the EXTernal button program and MPG program.

I messed with it some more today and found my error. I had to enable the encoders in the axis channels on the init program to get them to work.

However I am having two other issues.

Issue 1. ...

Click-3 was a typo. It should be A=0 B=1

So I'm running into an issue using small panel mounted rotary encoders to drive my feed-rate overrides.

I'm using the sample program SetFROwithHWEncoder.c.txt? and GrayHill 62AG22-L5-040C 16...

To follow up on this post. I did get the system to monitor the servo ready signals and shut it down if it detected a low signal. I just used a simple IF, ELSE command to monitor the input bits and...

Just for some background I am retrofitting a Tree Journeyman 325 Mill.
So far most of the project is going better then expected. I am using AASD-30A 1.5KW servos and a Lepond 7.5 KW VFD to drive...

When I first purchased my 1982 Hitachi Seiki Fanuc 3TF It did not come with a set of manuals and I had exactly the same problem as you and thought something was wrong with the machine spindle

Miller sells a machine style torch for that machine, Torch, ICE-55CM that gives you an extra output connector for using an external trigger switch. However it is very expensive. If you want to us the...

I would recommend trying to sell the parts on EBAY. On a 1990 machine I don't think Fanucworld is going to offer you very much at all. I recently parted out a 1992 Excell 810, fanuc OMB machining...

I'm also having a similar problem. I purchased the XHC wireless pendent for use on my cnc plasma and cannot get it to connect. I Installed the plugin "which I had to download from from pc4cnc.com...

I live in North Lake with a Hartland mailing address. My shop however is on the north east side of Milwaukee.

I had a tooth profile generator plugin for AutoCad. It was freeware at the time. I...

Depending on the pitch size sometimes they can be interpolated on a cnc with a small endmill. I have had good success doing this with some 8 tooth 6 pitch 20 deg pressure angle gears.

I did some more searching today and found 2 different companies that can make the encoder extension cables I need for this, at a very reasonably price $125.00 per cable. I know I can buy the Amphenol...

Here is the background on this project. I removed a Fanuc OM control from an Accel Kiwa 810 VMC that was scraped and want to install it on a Devlieg horizontal borring mill that we purchased.
When...

I have actually built 2 cnc tube benders both using pc based parallel port controls. These machines are both rotary draw type similar to a Pines. The rotating head is driven from a 5" x 18" stroke...

I would definitly try using the hanita varimills as well I have been using them to cut down a welded surface on a 304 stainless part, and was absulutly amazed by how much material could be removed...

Lately I look online for indusrial auctions in my area. Just go on google search and type in auction companys and your state. You should be able to get a number of different websights for local...
