Re: [Emc-users] setting tool lengths

At the moment I like the idea of the .ini entry and forcing the user to do it one way for every machine. The tool set machine measurement can be typed into the TLO for the times when the tool set probe cannot be reached. I would then need to make/purchase a 40 taper tool set standard adapter for my

[Emc-users] setting tool lengths

Gentlemen, I have asked this before but with the EMC2 machines breeding in my shop I want to get this implemented. I want to have a variable (in the .var file?) that will allow me to set positive tool lengths using a tool set block on the table surface. I want to be able to match the tool lengt

[Emc-users] EMC2 machine updates

Gentlemen, We now have a shop full of EMC2 believers. I walked out into the shop this morning and all three EMC2 controlled machines were cutting steel parts. The Dahlih was making some blocks for a draw press. The Cinci was milling some steel plates and the Enshu was milling some steel blocks.

[Emc-users] MPG handle controlled rigid tapping.

Stuart and friends; I have been thinking about this manual MPG rigid tapping and while its fairly straight forward on a normal 3 axis mill or 2 axis lathe there needs to be more for 5 axis applications. Strange that Stuart didn't mention it. I think it might require a new custom G & M code that

I appreciate your suggestion, Michael. Only one problem - I'm not using ANY proprietary drivers! If I go to System, Administration, Hardware Drivers, I come up with the message that "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system". I may be misunderstanding what you want me to try. If my

Don is this for a D519MO board or a D510MO board??? If it is a D510MO board, then change the subject line. I have a D510MO board right here and would be happy to try some things out but I thought you had some newfangled D519 board that I never heard of . Then I saw D510MO in the text... D
