Re: G10 Commands Error

Unfortunately, I don't think the manual documents which parameters can be set with G10, and which cannot. FYI, The G10 section in the manual was updated to include a list of Parameters that are read only in V5.00. https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/operator_manuals/centroid-cnc12-mi...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.0 has been released. Click here to download.

Ok, So I do have the maintain offset library selected. That is how I want to set it up. Still no initialize button. Also I noticed that once I entered all 15 tool bit coordinates and saved them, when I go back into that wizard page they are all gone. Is that normal. Set parameter 160 = 1, currently...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.0 has been released. Click here to download.

In trying to setup a rack style ATC an issue I ran into was that once I setup all bin positions an other settings, saved them through the wizard. But then I do not get the option in setup, config, ATC init. It is not present. Am I missing something or a certain sequence? Bill Hello Bill, If you are...

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

Your likely getting that error due to the G91 (that G-code is not supported in lathe). I would do this by moving in machine coordinates with G53, and subtract the amount you want to move from the current A axis machine position (#5024). L10 sets the feedrate to 10 for this move. ;Move A axis to Swit...

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

My turret has to reverse to lock in. My real question was why is the default set to 0.5 of a turret position or half a position? That half a position nearly broke my turret. The most mine goes is 0.001 of a rotation. I was wondering what machine has a turret that can handle half a position? I was r...

Re: Invalid value, mfunc6.mac, line 158

There does appear to be an issue with the supplied mfunc6.mac, Attached is an updated version you can copy into your cncm directory and overwrite. (You may also want to copy the file over to the C:\cncm\resources\ATC\Universal folder as the wizard will try to copy this old mfunc6 over to cncm when w...

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

My question is, why would you want to move half a turret position in the opposite direction at the end? Leaving the default values to move from turret position 1 to 2: Some turrets require to reverse to lock the turret in place. Even though perhaps not the best solution, but the idea was that the m...

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret

One issue is there is no F6(ATC Init) on the config screen, which is referenced in the wizard and the new atc setup guide. This is for the Mill ATC's like carousel or Rackmount, the ATC Initalization takes form in lathe by calling M18 (in the axis turret's case, this will prompt the user to input t...

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret

Hello Ozark, As before, you need to assign axis 4 on the configuration screen as axis A (The ATC menu does not do this for you). The ATC Menu does setup the parameters that you had to previously setup your self. P848 does not change the axis based turret, to change the amount that it turns on the re...

Re: Ball screw mapping on a lathe

Hello, Ensure you have enabled Screw Comp in the motor menu, Setup (F1) > Config (F3) > Mach. (F2) > Motor (F2). The "Screw Comp" Column should have "Y" for the axes you would like to apply your compensation table to. Compensation table is based on your travel limits in machine p...
