Check that the encoder is securely clamped to the end of the ballscrew (i.e. check and reseat the setscrews in the shaft collar).
Check belt tension between the X servo motor and the ballscrew.

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Can you enable the MPG by pressing the yellow "MPG" button on the Virtual Control Panel? If you do so, does the handwheel then work to move the selected axis? I think that maybe the only thing missing is to automatically enable the MPG when you turn the axis selector knob from "OFF&qu...

Re: Siemens Spindle Servo (15Kw) ALLINONEDC Hurco BMC-30
Good catch. If I had had more time last week, I would have posted the attached schematic page. See X431-81, on lines 21-22. On the Quickdrill, I wired that signal through an immediate contact of the safety relay, so that opening the safety relay forces the drive to fast-stop the motor. See also line...

Re: today i drafted a discussion paper on tool height offset methods
The "Reference Tool" is the tool, real or imaginary, that is the standard length against which all the other tools' length offsets are measured. "Z Reference" is the head position (Z axis DRO reading) at which the Reference Tool touches the surface that you are going to measure t...

Re: Newbie Intercon question
Yes. If you want to make an array of circular pockets, then two Repeat cycles will do it.
The first Repeat copies the Pocket cycle down the remainder of the first row.
The second Repeat copies the Pocket plus the first Repeat, to make the remaining rows.

Re: NPT Threads in Intercon - Workflow
You could make your Turn cycle turn a taper. Assuming you are doing external threads, then for the final diameter, enter the major diameter you want at the large (Z-) end of the thread, and for the taper angle enter the half angle, as a negative number (-1.7899 degrees for NPT threads). Parameters f...

Re: AllinOne, Add 1616 and Delta C2000 with PG01L card
The message box in the upper right corner of the CNC12 screen is a scrolling box. The newest messages appear at the bottom. In your picture, you can see that "308 Waiting for input #17 (M101)" has been superseded by "304 MDI...". That means that the orient command has completed, ...

Re: VCP RESET onscreen button
Maybe it could change to something in a medium gray, so the operator is a little more likely to look elsewhere (like, say, at the message box...). That is probably counter to what Gary is hoping for (presumably a prominent "fault" indicator), but is consistent with the designed behavior: w...

Re: VCP RESET onscreen button
reading marc's comments i thought he was asking for a virtual estop button which osha isn't going to like. No, not at all. I was suggesting that the appearance of the VCP reset button could change, depending on whether the actual emergency stop button was pressed. This would make it more obvious to...

Re: AcornSix - Zri Homing with linear scales
Tom was probably thinking you meant #23401-#23408. Just out of curiosity, do #23401 and #23402 change state on your system, corresponding to whether or not the asterisk is showing? Yes, I think #25101-#25108 are relatively new. Presumably they were added to avoid the awkward timing issues you get wh...
