[Emc-users] Using M62 - M65 and m66 codes

2007-12-04 Thread Tomasz Brzozowski
Hi I have question about using M codes. How to use M62 - M65 m-codes to set parport pins from program ? In documentation is: /The P-word specifies the digital input number/ How to connect it to parport pins ? how to use M66 to read digital input (pin from parport ) to control program ? with

Check out something like a Honeywell 1GP4001. They are in a sealed can with the back bias magnet. Digikey has them for about $7. There are other models and more expensive housed models also. Some are good down to zero speed, some are not. I can find out more info if you like. I design speed

Hi I believe that the greatest hurdle in constructing a small CNC machine is the cost of the linear slides, and I've been trying to think of a way to alleviate this, and come up with a 'Pivot Mill'. While this is robotic in configuration, it is for all intensive purposes intended to supplant a

A few thoughts... Isn't the Z axis the easiest? Instead of the dual strut you could use a pantograph, which would keep the Z motion linear instead of radial. It would still be a sine conversion, but it simplifies the conversion significantly. The conversion itself is different matter. Others

What an interesting looking machine. We have a demo of a similar type of machine, called SCARA. In emc 2.2.2, you can run the sample configuration scara/scara.ini and see a visualization of this machine on your desktop. Screenshot here: http://axis.unpy.net/01170693566 In emc, the process

I think the hardest part (other than creating the kins) is dealing with backlash. Creating rotory motion without backlash, to me, would be a lot harder than with linear.. Spring load them all one way? double sets of gears forced against each other? very cool though. sam - Original

It's a SCARA. They are very common for pic-and-place machines but one of our guys a few years ago wrote a thesis while building one and testing it for stiffness. I believe the guys was from India. The current SCARA kinematic files are based on his work. Shouldn't be much of a problem to

Oops. One additional thought, while the tool will always be perpendicular to the work surface, the z kinematics are not trivial either. But in that case I think you can use an Angular definition for that axis. You'd just have to work out the motion in and out along the axis of the forearm
