Re: Offset after homing sequence (router table)

I just manually add to my program the WCS command before each section of the program I want a wcs. I run this job several times a year and I have these WCS set and I never reuse them so whenever I run this job, I just call up the program and run it (assuming I haven't changed vise or jaw locations )...

Re: Source for E-Stop (Dual NC Switches)

Re: E-Stop input has stopped working on DYNA 2400 Acorn Refit

I swapped the board from my G540 system and the e-stop input works on the second board just like it did when it was first wired up to the now faulty board. I can either use this board on a machine that doesn't need the db25, rewire the e-stop to the green connectors and leave that input faulty, or r...

Re: E-Stop input has stopped working on DYNA 2400 Acorn Refit

When I do that, Input 3 does not change, the rest of the inputs work as expected. Input 3 was working fine in the beginning. It quit working after I wired up inputs 4 and 5 to use as cycle start and feed hold as the machines old retrofit control panel has a switch for feed hold and cycle start. If I...
