Re: Thread milling with single point tool question

Thank you! I kind of presumed that the answer would go in this or similar direction. In my industry (software engineering) this sort of solution would be considered "a hack" - seemingly not so much in CNC world :)

Best,
Bruno

Thread milling with single point tool question

Hi all, I have two single point thread milling tools ordered from Lakeshore Carbide and have tried thread milling cycle - internal. It worked, but clearance between tool shank and edge of the hole was so small that I thought the tool will break. Can someone explain me how Centroid knows the dimensio...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

So, interesting news here - the only thing I needed to do was to upgrade to latest version of centroid. After that things magically started working without resends, stress test passed without issues. I took computer, brought it home, made OS upgrade which also updated all Intel drivers and retested ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

I agree, idea is to shutdown everything not needed and retest. I will do that today. Both setups used shielded wiring, even magnetic ferules on cable ends. One of the reasons I switched to Clearpath was getting their OEM wiring which seems to be good and moving drivers away from electronics (since ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

You must everything get to work right, no noise disturbing communication and a working network setup. You can try this with Intel: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=7414&hilit=Intel Also on my PC with Intel chip I have to turn on Acorn first then the PC, or for some reason I...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

Changing the NIC settings wont help if you have a noise issue. Leave the spindle off and test the system to see if you still have resends. Run several air cuts without the spindle and then look at your error log again. Please do one change at a time so you know what the actual issue was. USB to eth...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

You can run stresstest.cnc if you have updatet to 4.80 This will show you if the connection ist ok or not. If your PC have an Intel Network chip, is needs some changes in the advanced setting to get rid of resends. Uwe Given that I have been experiencing same issues with two drastically different w...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

I will upgrade to latest CNC12 today. As for screen, it has native full HD (1920x1080) resolution which is also set in Windows. On any other res CNC12 looks weird.
Also, where in a report can I see those network retransmissions?

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes

So, not sure what's with video - it's on google drive. You can click on that corner thing and google will offer you to download it. Here are photos of the mill and cabinet (from several Clearpath upgrade phases). Hover over photo as file name that pops up also tells a story. There are two 24V Meanwe...

Probing gets interrupted sometimes <resolved>

Greetings all, Sometimes I have probing issue in a sense that after a 2nd (slow) touch off machine just stops and I need to push the Start button in order for it to proceed. It happens on all axes, but more often on on x/y. Other than that machine works really well and, it's a quality German made mi...
