Re: Timing Signal Being Ignored

I'll probably re-up my license this evening. I'm not sure if I .12 will help, but since you provide reliable support I should provide reliable funding.

Re: Timing Signal Being Ignored

Log sent.

I'm on 2.3.6. When I tried to update to 2.3.12 it tells me my license isn't valid.

Timing Signal Being Ignored

Hi Dave, I hate to be a pain again, but I'm experience some issues. I switched from the ESS to UC300eth controller. I wanted to gain access to UCCNC but also keep my handy dandy Mach Std Mill setup because I know how to use it and have had excellent results machining with it. Long story short, after...

Add 5th Axis to Screens

I'm nearing the completion of my trunnion table with c axis. At a minimum I need to add that into the WC Offset panel for zeroing. I'm not proficient in VB but I assume that's what I'll need to do. Is there an easy way of achieving this?

Re: X axis offset after Probing

Well, running sans gas spring was a failure. I couldn't audibly detect step loss but after a tool crash and a some analysis it's obvious that it did occur. I guess two years ago when I installed it because I believed the machine would benefit I was on the right path. Reinstalling it and trying again...

Re: X axis offset after Probing

I figured this one out. After running the scenario through my head many many times the only conclusion I could come to is that it was a geometry issue, specifically that of the milling machine itself. Though I had recently trammed the mill and squared the head I knew something had to of moved. So ye...

Re: X axis offset after Probing

Well after further playing I'm at a loss. The prob tip has .0001" runout, the probe body has less than .0005" runout. The repeatable holder and spindle are both under .0001" runout. I probe a hole to find center, the op runs. I manually run the spindle up, change the tool, no X or Y m...

Re: X axis offset after Probing

So I was digging around in the forum and I see that in May of last year another posted a similar issue, though he identified his issue to be a controller or plugin of some variety. I'm using ESS so I don't think my problem is there. That said, I know my tip wear compensation for my probe is around ....

X axis offset after Probing

Hi Dave, I have an issue that I thought was cam related but am realizing it's related to something else. After I run a probe routine to find a hole center and then mount a new tool (M6t16 for example where as probe is M6T101) and then enter X0Y0 and then lower the tool to the hole the tool is obviou...
