I have no experience with this but, my thinking is that one should read the locked axis position and make that the commanded position, then when the the axis is unlocked, with a small delay for the brake to become fully unlocked, the axis will not move. Then the new position can be commanded without worrying about the brake being on. Thinking a little more, it seems the problem is in the sequence of g-code commands. When the axis stops, the commanded and actual position should match, or at least after a short time. The brake can be applied. Then when a new position is needed, release the brake, wait a short time, then command the new position. Or, I could be completely wrong. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
