Hi I was just wondering if anyone has done an upgrade to fit KMotion on a Fanuc machine. From what I can see, the following is possible: 1) Using a Pico board, one can get the encoder signals of the Fanuc Red (3 Phase brushless) motors 2) Interfacing to The Fanuc drives seems to be a challenge as th...

Tnx, these are great ideas. I will give it a try.

Hi, I need to write a program to do intermittent Spray Mist Control. I thought of using a loop which can then pull the I/O pin low for Time A and wait for Time B before doing it again. Some questions: 1) I can start the loop as a forever loop but how do I stop it? 2) The loop needs to run at the sam...

Thanks Moray, that was it!

Hi Tom I have a Z axis homing C program which works fine on an older machine with manual tool changer. I noticed that sometimes the mechanical shock of releasing the draw bar would cause movement of the axis which is not picked up by the scales. So I thought I could just run the Homing program after...

Hi Tom

I checked and on the version I have, the Save Always tick box is not there. How do I add that?

Thanks Tom, I should have checked. I converted the C programs to functions and then I could just call them from the homing program to set the fixture offsets. Just a few lines of code.

Thanks, this should do it.

Thanks Moray
It worked well. I also managed to convert the C programs to functions and then I just call them from the Main program. in the end I only had to write about 10 lines of code.

Hi I am putting a conductive block on the work piece. Using a touch probe I can stop the axis when the tool touches. Next I need to update the tool length on the tool table setting.The idea is to 1) Determine the selected tool on the screen 2) Set the selected tool length in the table to 0 3) Read t...
