Tom, Apologies for not replying to you question regarding the G52 Y0 in the earlier post. I have attached a Bearer Program and 2 screen shots of that program to try and explain why the MDI G52 Y0 is required. The machine is now in production and so long as the operator follows the procedure then the...

Tom, I assume in your next release will incorporate all the patches that you have created for individual customers as I would set the DRO digits to 1 decimal place which is more than enough precion for concrete bearer production but at present the 52 metre non linear error correction patch is more i...

Tom, Our special purpose 8 axis machine sets a temporary datum after probing for each bearer set of operations in G code. At the end of each bearer a G52 Y0 clears the temporary Datum back to the absolute position to move to for the next bearer where the probing routine and G code operations are rep...

Tom, I have viewed the Buttons Disable C program. I have tried including in the gather example some of the jog buttons but they do not disable. The example buttons do disable and can be re-enabled. I tried the Diable Jog keys but not all are disabled as shown in the attached screenshot. Ideally i wa...

Tom, On power up, initialisation and homing all axes obey the software limits without a problem both in jogging, mdi and g code run. In jogging a feed hold happens when physically the axis is at the end of software iimit travel. An mdi move which would move the axis outside of the software limits di...

Tom, Operational testing of the 8 axis machine continues. Discussions on Friday for the next two machines. I have noticed that the software limits change during the machine operation. I am now convinced this happens after a program exit and then a program start but no homing. The Kogna has not been ...

Tom, Thanks for your prompt support and help as always. I do have a c program for probing using an m code and read an input when I need to probe to set the starting position for the rest of the G code program. I would like your suggestions regarding halting all axis motion if the probe touches / col...

Tom, I forgot to add the screenshot of the red feed rate slider which moves up and down when the Probe , U axis is moved either using manual jog or CNC. No other axis has this strange behaviour. I am only using the blue pointer to set the glue time. Any ideas why ? I seem to have solved the manual j...

Tom, A couple of queries I hope you can help me with please. I need a slider to control the glue dispense time as the lue viscosity varies depending on the factory temperature. The glue secures the placed inserts in the mould to stop them moving when the mould is filled with concrete. I was hoping t...

Tom, Thanks for the help with geometric correction over long axis travels late last year. Last week we did a 50 metre error correction run in 250mm increments. The error correction worked well. We now the original Machine and the new on on tge same X axis track using the same X axis Machine coordina...
