Thanks Steve & Andy; It was a NEWBE ATTACK. Everything is brighter at sunrise. Apparently I had tested a G96 S400 earlier in the day and never did a G97. The Spindle was going for 400 FPS on a 1" shaft. EMC remembers, even when I didn't want it to. Thanks again Don PS. Andy I havn't g

[Emc-users] Spindle sync setup?

2010-08-09 Thread Don Stanley
Hi All; The following G Code does a great Left Hand thread but I have to lower the AXIS Spindle Override slider before spindle-at-speed will come on and start threading. The Spindle gear selected is 230 RPM max, but the spindle-rpm-cmd goes past that and is continually trying to run the spindle fa

[Emc-users] spindle sync

2007-06-18 Thread Chris Morley
I was wondering how the spindle sync works, roughly anyways. It sounds like emc uses the counts between index to track the spindle. then the index must be just to reset the count and as a starting point for threading. How does the tracking work ? Check that every pulse the Z axis has moved a
