That looks an awesome setup. I have been looking at similar but I was stuck on the plc side of things. I feel like I might have to borrow some of your code . I also like the electric clutch idea, beats the air clutch I made because I don’t need to turn the compressor on

That sucks! Oh well, back to using profile for everything. At least you can chamfer/radius corners in profile

I have tried that setting but it doesn’t seem to change it any. The profile settings change behaviour but the clearance setting doesn’t behave any differently if you change the numbers. Strange…….

Hi all, does anyone know what parameter changes the amount of tool retract on a simple "turn" cycle in intercon. Profile is working fine but I am chasing a little more relief on the turn cycle to allow me to unhook chips sometimes. None of the parameters i have found so fad seem to affect it

Is there any way to make the tool check run from existing position(depth) on threading cycle? At the moment it restarts the thread from the beginning and that's a little annoying if you just want to check/rotate your insert for final passes on a 5tpi thread.

Is this possible on 12 pro lathe?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to turn a cam “lobe” (not an eccentric) on the lathe? I can’t see any way in intercon but is it possible to program on CAD? I have an encoder and can reliably spin the spindle down to 45RPM under load so the axis should keep up with the speed to move in and out as r...

Hi all, I have recently branched out to line boring and I am now using my lathe for making bushings to press in. The inside of these bushes have an elliptical groove (sort of like a figure 8) that allows the grease to fill around the pin. I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this with inter...

Quick update, went back to machine and it worked perfectly. Unsure what the issue was but it is now working awesome. Thanks heaps to all that helped
