How to change E-Stop functionality

Was curious if anyone has had to change what the E-Stop function performs on an Oak controlled CNC Mill? I have my coolant output tied to some clamps that I would like to stay on even if someone hit E-Stop, would this be possible?
Basically I'd like the E-Stop to NOT stop my mist coolant output

How to restrict access to operators?

Finalizing a large CNC project this week and about ready to roll out to production. Was curious if there is a way to lockout CAM/ICN access and apply a password protection to editing the program? I know that parameters setup is locked via password, and wondered if I could do something similar? Ideal...

The program itself is working great, however I am trying to speed it up f...

Re: Coolant programming

What I have found works best is calling for coolant in the ICN as needed for different operations. When you have coolant selected in the tool library it will want to have the coolant on for the entire time the tool is spinning, with some mills that move the Z very high, this causes the coolant to ma...

Programming Questions with external I/Os

Hi, I am fairly experienced when it comes to centroid CNC programming as far as general mill work is concerned, but not when it comes to custom programming with safety switches etc. I have searched through the various Centroid manuals discussing macro and plc programming but I still need some help. ...
