Re: Sudden change in spindle speed?

With M3 S3000 I am seeing 3.4 V at H8. Time to contact customer service.

Sudden change in spindle speed?

While running my mill I noticed a sudden change in spindle speed without changing any settings.
When I request max rpms, I am only getting 3.6 v at the H8 connector. I do not have the 0-5V
selected in the wizard, so I believe I should be seeing 10 V at the H8 connector. Report attached.

Re: Using H6 Output 2 for PWM to control Clearpath Servo

Hi Gary and Mike, Thank you for the feedback. If I can find a way to keep from having to "home" the W-axis, that may be my way to go. This servo will be rarely used. I do not plan on moving the mill head unless I have too due to the size of the part. The servo would remain at a constant sp...

Using H6 Output 2 for PWM to control Clearpath Servo

I have a RF-31 mill running Clearpath servos which are connected to H2 and H3 per the Acorn_rev4 Multiple Clearpath SDSK schematic. Everything is running great. I want to add a "independent" Clearpath servo to move the Mill head up and down the column by adding macros to the VCP. At first ...

Re: Scaling issue when importing .DXF

Hi Tom,

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction. It seems when Fusion 360 is exporting
from the cloud, the units are metric. The Fusion 360 forum has some suggestions
I will pursue.

Thanks again!

Scaling issue when importing .DXF

I exported a .dxf from Fusion 360. When I loaded it into
CNC12, the part was scaled. Original in Fusion 360 was 2 inch x 4 inches.
In CNC12 the part is 5 inches x 10 inches. Is there a way to correct the
scaling? (report attached)

Re: Notepad ++ Compile issue

Tom,
That was the ticket! Thanks!!

Hi Keith,
I am not making any changes now. I was just setting up notepad++ for future use.
If I come up with a helpful PLC, I will be sure to share.
Thanks for asking!

Re: Notepad ++ Compile issue

I did work through that bulletin. At number 10, is when I got the compile error.
