Help Needed Diagnosing Z Axis Encoder Discrepancy

Dear Tom, I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out for help with a puzzling issue I’ve encountered on the Z axis encoder. I’ve attached my initialization file, which I’ve stripped down to just the Z axis to better isolate the problem. Here’s what I’m seeing: • As the Z carriage moves down, the ZDR...

Re: DoPCFloat in M6

Hi Tom, Thanks for your prompt reply. From my testing, this function "DoPCFloat(PC_COMM_SET_Z, (float)NewZZero);" sets the current Z DRO to NewZZero, and it appears that a G92 Z offset is automatically applied. In addition to setting Fixture Z, could you kindly guide me through the correct method to...

DoPCFloat in M6

Hi all, I hope you are doing well. I'm trying to figure out how to make the code "DoPCFloat(PC_COMM_SET_Z, 1.25)" work within the M6 tool change routine. My ultimate goal is to measure the tool and assign a new Z value immediately after a tool change. However, it seems that this DoPCFloat is ignored...

Re: Nondeterministic "error loading file"

Hi Tom,

I've been using Mcode extensively for several days now, and since applying your patch, the 'error loading file' issue has completely disappeared.

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Re: Nondeterministic "error loading file"

Hello everyone, I use custom M code to collect data during my CNC machining, and I find it a very powerful feature in the Kogna motion controller. Custom M codes allow anything that may be programmed in C to be invoked, making them crucial for complex machining tasks. However, after testing with two...

Re: Exploring Geo Correction Beyond the Z-Axis for CNC Bed Surface Roughness

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate the insights and suggestions you provided. Since I don't have any recompiling experience, this approach might not be straightforward for me. However, it's good to know and will help me rethink my approach.

Many thanks!!!

Exploring Geo Correction Beyond the Z-Axis for CNC Bed Surface Roughness

Hi all, I recently attempted to use geo correction to address the surface roughness of my CNC bed. While it works for Z-axis, I am curious to know if geo correction can be applied to axes other than the Z-axis. The reason for this is that I have been using dual loop control, with my A-axis assigned ...

Geometric correction

Hi all, I would like to apply geometric correction for surface unevenness of my CNC router table. Before changing the Z values, I tried applying the following geo file to see what happens: 2,2 1,1 0,0 0,0,0,0,0 0,1,0,1,0 1,0,1,0,0 1,1,1,1,0 I thought there would be no transformation at all on X and ...
