Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi Tom, is there any way to prevent the Keyboard Jog function to stay active. Every time the dropdown is
opened in the MDI mode the keyboard function is disable. Very frustrating when moving around
a large machine.

Thanks
George

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi Tom, can you please look at the attached files. When I home my machine using the 5 Axis Router Home.c , the X axis (ch1) stops when it hits the limit. The limit is programed to be disabled at this point. Want to ride over limit. In KmotionCNC the over limit LED comes on and the axis is stopped. T...

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi Tom, working on changing the way I home my machine. Need more accuracy when setting up B and C axis. The Teknic motors are tricky to set up. Has no index pulse. I have managed to get a consistent home setting and now I need to set my offset from the zeroed position set by Teknic. I MoveAtVel in t...

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

HI Tom, sorry about last post. Found the problem, had wrong Tool length offset. Looked good on first set of surfaces but
was off by a mile too.

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi Tom, solved my backlash problem. It was my gearbox for the B&C axis. Was missing shims on side of one gear set. Any ways ran into another strange problem. Not sure if it is a posting problem or not. I have attached two files and the larger file is a combination of two sets of surfaces I am trying...

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Tom, can the backlash add on be changed to add on negative an no add in positive direction. That would be
a typical convention say in a manual lathe.

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Tom , if you are talking about encoder error in the Tecnik, then the errors run average 0 to +- 3 counts on a 8000 cnts per rev. encoder when based on Kmotion sending a 0 position output. I will double check this number again because it does seem crazy low. One thing about those motors is they are a...

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi Tom, I agree backlash comp sucks. At this point it does look mechanical because both Kmotion and Tecnik zero all the time. I have been playing with the backlash comp and it seems to be working. Does the MoveAtVel account for the Backlash value? It seems like it does not. Is there away to have it ...
