Hi Tom

Thanks for looking at this. I did some more research on this and can report following. I don't want to sound complaining - your program is great and I appreciate your work. I just report...

Hi Tom

I am trying to implement css on my lathe. To do this I have taken your examples and altered them to my needs. My intention is to let one thread handle all the S parameter changes. This is...

I am sorry to have to ask for your advice again, Tom, but my search did not lead to any results.

The last thing I am trying to setup on my lathe is CSS. I am following your example c-program. The...

Hi Tom

I can give you some more observations about this:
This morning when I came back to KmotionCNC it was working as it should!

However, after editing the tool table manually it is not...

Hi Tom

I just noticed one more thing...

I wrote a c- program to adjust tool offset of the active tool on my lathe through MSG Boxes. The reason for this is that when you cut a diameter and you...

Hi Tom

Thanks for explaining this to me. This means that even though Dest has arrived the PID of Kflop still might be putting out some impulses to arrive at the exact desired position. It all...

Hi Tom

My setup is CL Step (AC Servo with linear encoder).

I noticed that CheckDone is clearing before the movement has completed:
In a C-Program I do:

Hi Dan

I stumbled on this. I am using the popular Huanyang VFD which is controlled by RS485 with a modbus protocoll. You would have to setup the Serial Port of KFlop somehow.

Hi Dave

Since I just added some glass scales to my Kflop I might be able to answer your question:

1) The only reason you want to add some glass scales (linear encoders) to your Kflop is if you...

Hi Tom

I was able to successfully connect a VFD to RS232 and control my spindle with c programs. :)

Even though I found SpindleOnJog.c SpindleCssJog.c and so on I am not able to get the S Value...

Hi Tom

Thanks for your explanations.

I did not think of the deadband :tired: With this I should be able to solve it. Perfect :)

Now I also fully understand the impact of Max Error, thanks....

Thank you for posting this! It helped me a lot to get my Kflop running.:)

Hi Tom

I bought glass scales some time ago and now I found time to fit them to my lathe. Reason for the upgrade was that my ballscrews have no preload. Even though they have no backlash, when...

Hi Tom

This might have been asked before but I couldn't find the answer:

I saw that Mach4 has been released. Do you plan on releasing a plugin for Mach4?

Hi Tom

Thanks for your suggestions. I am going to look at it and report back.

Hi Tom

I have had random freezes of KmotionCNC.
I was not able to notice anything that I did to cause this, but it never happens during a g-code run. I suspected a file access delay so I changed...

Hi Tom

4.33d is not stable. It crashed 3 times in a row. Then I went back to 33c everything was fine again.

The crashing was once after saving my offsets (G54) and returning to the main screen...

Hi Tom

I just realize that I caused some confusion because I voiced my excitement about being able to access tool table offsets. :)



What I am proposing is to have an option to save fixture...

Hi Tom

The Vars File:
Tool Setup Screen Files

It only saves if you press the save button in Tool Setup Dialog.

Hi Tom

First, I have discovered the new Tool Offset functions of Version 33d yesterday and already implemented them. They are working great and save me a lot of time!


Second, I have a...

Hi Tom

I am exited to hear that a new version of KmotionCNC is coming!! Is there any chance that I could try it early? I am really in trouble not being able to use my lathe.

If you are working...

I have also tried to open the Solution on a different computer with Win7 and Visual Studio 2008. Same Exception...

Maybe some of you guys have an idea how to solve the error or you might have a...

Hi Tom

I am using Mach3 with K-Motion on a lathe.

Yesterday I start up the PC, start Mach3 jog towards the spindle and K-Flop keeps jogging by itself until it crashes into the chucks! Lucky the...

Tom,

please let me know what I have to do try G32.

Best Regards

Leo

Hi Tom

I am not particularly happy with Mach3 and would like to use KMotionCNC instead. But threading is a must. I would be very happy to try what ever solution you have and report my experiences....

Hi Tom

I have read that threading is supported through k-Motion in Mach3. How can I execute a G76 in KMotionCNC?
Can you give me a working sample?

Best Regards

Leo

Hi Tom

Thank your for your explanaitions.

Hi Tom

Thank your for your explanations. The Diagram made it very clear to me.
Of course I do not run out of Axis, only of generators because the hardwiring.

The user program is also a good...

Hi tom

Thank you for your explanations. If I want to configure an axis without any output and all the available channels are already taken, what would I write in the config file?

To my question...

Hi

I am trying to convert a traditional lathe to CNC. I got my axes working and need to get my spindle setup. I will be using it with Mach3 and want to be able to do single point threading.
