A couple of times around the pattern and we’ll be landing.

OK, I apologized a bit too soon!! :? The problem returned. It was while I was machining a part, but I didn't have the time/resources to video it. It apparently is not reproducible unless machining a part, and it might be G code specific to the part. In the near future, I'll post a video of the probl...

Hi, Solidworks is available for Veterans for US$20/year. It is the professional version with all the tools. The restriction is that it's the educational license and not for commercial use. A long time ago, I bought an Alibre Expert license. Then when they initially went out of business, the online l...

Well, color me very embarrassed. :oops: :oops: :oops: When I started everything up today to make the video, the problem was not recreatable!! :shock: :shock: I'm going to blame the occurrence of this anomaly on multiple neutrino - antineutrino collisions inside the non-ECC RAM, flipping a bit, in th...

I'll try posting a video later this week.

Thanks,

Tim

This is all about command stuff from VCP 5.08. All the G code commanded functions from a machining standpoint are great. Happily machining away at a part and decided to decrease the feed rate from the VCP panel. If the button at VCP 4,11 (RAPID/FEED) is in the FEED state, and the +/- or the fixed pe...

Hi,

So what am I missing here? Both rates are simultaneously controllable in RAPID, the actual feed rate is not controllable when in FEED, though the percentage changes on the main screen (lower right) the actual rate is unaltered.

Hello All, CNCKeith, I actually have the little mill up and running making small parts to complete the build!! But I have encountered a curious anomaly with the rapid/feed override panel using "acorn_mill_vcp_rapid_skin.vcp". When the panel is in RAPID, the feed and rapid rates are coupled...

Hello Gentlemen, So first item: This suggestion didn't work. Another effective method, depending on your needs, is to temporarily set the limit for the direction you want to move, to a large enough value to allow the move. There still is the point of when the limit is set to greater than the redefin...

Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies. This is the information for which I was looking. I have found the referenced variables in both the operators manual and the PLC programming guide. A couple more simple question dealing with this. I assume the values are floating point, right? And second, based ...
