Stuart You might consider turning off the hydraulics and servos when not in use. That is the trick I do, mainly so I don't have to listen to it howl. I also have a touchscreen on my Cinci. (It is not running EMC, but similar problems can arise.) Think about any button that might interfere with operation. I have had a drop of coolant land on the "spindle off" button in the middle of a cut. Luckily for me, the motor and transmission are so heavy in these beasts that I got it back on before it broke the cutter. I always make sure the pendant is turned away from the work. At first I considered turning off my touchscreen. But, in 3 years of running, I have only had a couple of problems caused by it. And it really makes running the machine easier.
There is another solution though. Don't let the flies and moths in the shop, or at least give them proper training ;) Glenn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Stevenson Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 11:02 AM To: EMC2-Users-List Subject: [Emc-users] touchscreen cycle start Gentlemen, I would like to disable the cycle start button on the 'axis' display. I have a touch screen. It may start with the slightest touch at an inopportune time. Maybe a moth or other insect could start the machine. Is this something I could easily do? thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
