Actually theres very little difference. All the PMSMs I've seen  generate 
somewhat flat topped sine wave BEMFs, this include 2 phase CPU fans (BLDC), AC 
servos, washing machine motors etc. For example the Parker motors we are using 
for 8I20 testing are specified for either trapezoidal drive or sinusoidal, 
they dont care...

Re: [Emc-developers] Tool-Change

2010-11-10 Thread Michael Haberler

I've played with the toolchange script (the version which 'can jog during 
toolchange' with the abort/restart at line trick)

I did a touchoff there and that works fine, including setting new Z and all

the remaining problem is to get axis to recognize the result of the touchoff 
and redraw, reloading the ngc file does that but if you forget the movements 
are 'decoupled' from preview

this problem would go away if axis had touchoff menus/buttons 

-m

[Emc-developers] Tool-Change

2010-11-10 Thread Andy Pugh
This is probably a question for emc-users but relates to a
can-of-worms I don't really want to open there. (Yes, it's the old
touch-off during toolchange question, prompted by a forum query)
Is toolchange a "queue buster"? And, if the tool length offset is
changed in the tool table between the M6 and the G43, which length is
used in the subsequent moves?
I am wondering if suggesting that integrating a tool-length probe into
the toolchange sequence is sensible or not.

Summary: wrong movements on z-axis

Initial Comment:
I press 'esc' when M0 is the current command. Then I load next .ngc program 
wich consist of commands for tool length probing (G38.2, G43.1 Z[#5063-#1000] 
etc.), and the commands to cut the material (g1,g0, etc.). When was processed 
command g0 z20, z-axis go down to 2.4564 value (the same value was on the 
screen in AXIS gui), after that any attempts to handle the z-axis were 
unsuccessful. (z-axis was placed in the wrong values different from commanded) 
Problem has been resolved when the EMC restarted.

EMC v 2.4.5 
Ubuntu hadry heron 8.04 (was installed from EMC 2.3.0 installation disk)

Excuse me for bad English.
