Have a guy on it probably just make a new program ,
the codes easy it's the GUI that the fun bit
have a basic program that the operator can enter width drop but they want to be able to enter XXX sizes and then populate it to the cutting area automatically

currently running it on a virtual machine
operators are not that smart unfortunately
program worked with a Galil card so the output needs to be modified
Not that simple at 30,000 lines of code
May just get a completely new program written to make it all work on W11
Thanks for the input

The complementary program was designed to cut fabric for blinds it is actually quite good but programmed in visual basic 6 which only works in XP or 98 ( this was written about 2000 ) have done a basic program that allow the operator to put a width, drop and 0 offset but they want to enter all sizes...

Have a customers machine that i am in the process of converting - laser cutter for cutting blinds It was using some proprietary software that works quite well but it is written in VB6 which wont work on later windows versions Is there a version of the Centroid software that would work with XP ?

Just finishing an Acorn 6 with 2kw A2 servos and a ABB VFD will have the control running soon , let you know how i go

don't think that's necessary Uwe
I think we all take our hats off to your abilities

Awesome thanks Keith
this works like any other axis , and should have a home switch ?

Just starting on an Acorn six conversion and wondering if it is actually possible to run a scale on the quill that sums with the z servo , if so would it be treated as a separate axis and also need a home position?

Thanks Cncsnw

i will get to it today and retest
