Re: V5.1 Lathe distance to go isn't working
Phil, Did you have this issue on the runtime graphics (RTG) display; or on the G-code display; or both? I will run it again when i am back at the workshop. The RTG screen and the g code screen are both showing zero when it has to remove 6mm off the diameter. When it is facing the end of the part of...

Re: Hybrid stepper motor error
sounds like the driver is faulting out and releasing power, check for binding/load on motor when holding position and or force that would cause it to be pushed off the commanded hold position. does the drive have a LED that indicates a fault? I have just put a normal stepper motor back on the turre...

V5.1 Lathe ATC has vanished
On the offset page the ATC button has dissapeared from the screen menu.
It was useful having the ATC button on the tool offset page now i have to exit and go to the MDI screen to change tools on the lathe turret.

Re: Hybrid stepper motor error
The switch inside the turret is a NPN proximity switch which is normally open. It has a sensing range of 2mm. So it looks as though when the metal cam backs up to the pawl the cam moves out of range at 2mm and switches off the motor. Originally the motor was just a standard stepper motor with 4NM an...

Hybrid stepper motor error
I have a technical support a question. I have a Stepperonline hybrid stepper motor with encoder on a lathe tool turret. It advances forward then when it reaches a switch the motor reverses until the switch closes then stops. My theory is that for every tool change it has a following position error w...
