[02:14:26] <tjtr33> should I expect vismach to show a change when I tool change from a tool with 0 Z offset to (say) a tool with 10units of Z offset?
[02:15:00] <cradek> depends what hal pins it's hooked to
[02:15:13] <cradek> changing tool offsets (well changing ANY offsets) does not cause motion
[02:15:46] <tjtr33> but the pose would be different if the model was wired correctly?
[02:16:01] <tjtr33> and tool tip was in same place
[02:16:35] <cradek> changing an offset and then issuing a move causes some motion...
[02:17:18] <tjtr33> well, i gotta fix the hal pin awareness of the z offset first, thx

[02:25:52] <tjtr33> cradek, I dont see it using 5axisgui and the supplied sim/vismach/5axis.
[02:25:53] <tjtr33> is there a supplied vismach for me to study this?

[02:34:28] <PetefromTn_> Evening folks
[02:36:01] <zeeshan> tjtr33: i was playing around with tool offsets
[02:36:04] <zeeshan> on the lathe
[02:36:04] -!- Thetawaves has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[02:36:22] <zeeshan> just do a g49 , then t02 m06 then g43
[02:36:31] <zeeshan> you'll see the numbers change in the mdi
[02:36:38] <zeeshan> and it'll show you what offset its applying
[02:38:03] <tjtr33> cool, when did you see motion caused by the offset?
[02:38:20] <zeeshan> there was no motion
[02:38:55] <tjtr33> if you put a longer tool in the tool holder, wont the machine move away from the work?
[02:39:02] <zeeshan> no
[02:39:10] <zeeshan> you have to command it to go somewhere far before y ou call out the tool change
[02:39:40] <zeeshan> because the tool offset when applied
[02:39:43] <tjtr33> and if it goes to a given place with the 2 tools, isnt the tool holder in 2 different positions?
[02:39:44] <zeeshan> will apply to its current position
[02:39:45] <zeeshan> without moving
[02:40:16] <zeeshan> how will it go to a given place with 2 tools?
[02:40:27] <zeeshan> how about this
[02:40:39] <zeeshan> tool 1 is 0 0 0 offset , tool 2 is 1 1 1 offset
[02:40:48] <tjtr33> touch the tip of the workpc with tool 1, change tool,. touch it again in same place
[02:41:10] <tjtr33> sorry you asked a q
[02:41:37] <zeeshan> hm
[02:41:43] <zeeshan> its easier to show it hehe
[02:41:59] <zeeshan> so in your example
[02:42:14] <zeeshan> after you do a tool change, and you apply a tool offset
[02:42:21] <zeeshan> and that tool happens to be longer (tool 2)
[02:42:30] <zeeshan> you'll technically be crashing into your work piece
[02:42:43] <zeeshan> so before you do a tool change
[02:43:03] <zeeshan> you need to go to a position that ensures there is no tool crash (at least by what your tool offset amount is)
[02:43:09] <zeeshan> before you do the tool change
[02:45:59] <tjtr33> hye thx, i'll fire up this tiny stpr machine and test
[02:46:28] <tjtr33> i was hoping to see it work in vismach
[02:46:30] <zeeshan> no problem

[03:27:18] <skunkworks> Is it normal to need this many tabs up when programming python? http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/testing/Screenshot%20from%202014-10-07%2022:25:17.png
[03:28:00] -!- anarchos2 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[03:28:05] <tjtr33> zeeshan i see, changing a tool does not install the tool comp from the table ( what i expected) judicious use of g49 & g43 cause the tool table Z offset to become active
[03:28:17] -!- anarchos2 [anarchos2!~mike@S010600259ce59399.vn.shawcable.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[03:28:41] <zeeshan> yes
[03:29:17] <zeeshan> in most controllers, just changing the tool
[03:29:34] <zeeshan> needs a secondary command to enable the correct offset
[03:29:42] <tjtr33> gotcha
[03:29:44] <zeeshan> sometimes you have different tool wear offsets
[03:30:19] <tjtr33> skunk i bet you could remove the facebook tab ;) but i do get a lotta tabs finding code solutions
[03:33:08] <tjtr33> like in scite editor, which defaults to maybe 9 file tabs, i often loose one when i open the 10th ( 1st file goes away, unnoticed because its tab is waaaay over there )
[03:36:46] <skunkworks> facebook is the only way I can communicate with my wife...
[03:37:24] <tjtr33> hahaha
[03:37:28] <PetefromTn_> can she not speak? ;)

[10:36:32] <Loetmichel> *GNAH* note to self: when cutting scrap aluminium strips with a leatherman: watch where your fingers are... *cleans off blood, puts a bandaid on the finger where the tip of the leatherman jaws had pinched the finger*

[10:47:29] <TekniQue> when cutting something requires a lot of force, such as cutting a 50mm2 cable with shears
[10:47:44] <TekniQue> then when it suddenly snaps and slams closed on your skin
[10:52:18] <Valen> TekniQue: you will learn not to put your hand in that part of the pliers ;->
[10:53:06] <malcom2073> You'd think so, but the number of times I've pinched myself with crimpers or plyers... just can't seem to learn :P

[12:14:33] <Loetmichel> like i saif: had to clean up a bit of blood. and that part of skin will soon go black an blue ;-9

[12:15:23] <TekniQue> rebecca: not particularly
[12:15:30] <TekniQue> but LinuxCNC is quite adaptable
[12:15:40] <rebecca> TekniQue: damn.
[12:15:55] <TekniQue> and it has been adapted to communicate with external controllers
[12:15:59] <cox> rebecca: I do not know much about this but what is your requrements and why,witch hatdware
[12:16:32] <rebecca> i want to replicate my setup at work.
[12:17:05] <rebecca> where i have non realtime-y workstations sending jobs to a multicam which does the realtime control stuff
[12:19:05] <jdh> jobs in what format?
[12:19:14] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[12:19:29] <rebecca> oh, routing and general polymer/wood/composite machining
[12:19:48] <cox> rebecca: What kind of realtime do you require
[12:20:02] <rebecca> my CNC at home is just a small 30-20 china job
[12:20:09] <jdh> I mean, what format are the 'jobs' in.
[12:21:42] <rebecca> gcode of some variety i presume. i don't actually 'see' the files sent to the CNC
[12:22:44] <cox> rebecca: what software generates the gcode?
[12:23:12] <rebecca> cox: well, i want to get the most speed possible out of my machine. so the faster the better.
[12:23:31] <rebecca> cox: oh, sorry. a horrible old version of Tool Path
[12:24:05] <rebecca> It imports PLT/DXF and I lay out the machining operations in it.
[12:24:28] <jdh> so you could just feed that to linuxcnc
[12:24:45] <jdh> or do you have some pressing need to have a standalone motion controller?
[12:26:55] <cox> rebecca:I am also looking for the best posible drivers for my china 6040, looking at MESA cards at the moment http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Mesa_Cards
[12:28:13] <rebecca> jdh: sure do. twice i have tried to go down the path of doing software motion control with linuxCNC. and... twice I have had purpose built hardware for LinuxCNC fail, completely derailing my attempt to get linuxCNC working. Now I'm sworn off using PCs to perform realtime control. I want the realtime stuff handled by an appliance.
[12:30:13] <rebecca> oh, and I have seen the frustrations others have with lost steps and intermittent alignment drift when trying to shoehorn non-realtime hardware into realtime roles.
[12:30:31] <cox> Sounds like bad wiring or bad tuning
[12:31:21] <rebecca> cox: yeah. i have looked at them. but i don't want some special card required in the computer.

[12:31:45] <cox> rebecca: have you replaced your stepper drivers?
[12:32:13] <rebecca> i want to be able to plug any old laptop into the CNC controller either via USB or ethernet and send the jobs that way..
[12:32:28] -!- md-2 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[12:32:32] <rebecca> cox: why are you asking me that?
[12:32:48] <cox> china ones seams to have problems
[12:32:48] <jdh> so, a completely separate controller is ok, but a mesa card isn't?
[12:33:55] <cox> the components on my driver card is all over the place
[12:33:56] <rebecca> jdh: the card necessitates a particular kind of computer. the point im trying to articulate is that i want to disengage the CNC setup from any particular computer setup.
[12:33:57] <jdh> the drivers that came with my 6040 seem to be fine. I was planning on replacing them with a G540 or the leadshine one, but haven't seen a need yet.
[12:34:46] <cox> My drivers stall when trying to go faster than 1000 mm
[12:34:47] <jdh> the motion controller will have effectively the same limitations.
[12:34:58] <malcom2073> rebecca: USe the mesa card + pc as your controller, then plug in any old laptop to it via etherent an send print jobs that way?
[12:34:59] <jdh> but, it doesn't sound like you have a need for linuxcnc
[12:37:05] <cox> Of cource you need LinuxCNC it's beutiful:-)
[12:37:13] <rebecca> i flat out don't want a desktop computer sitting in my workshop running my CNC.

[12:37:36] <jdh> what purpose built hardware have you had fail? how did it fail?

[12:37:53] <Loetmichel> ReadError: so buld in the PC into the machine?
[12:38:00] <Loetmichel> i do that all the time ;-)
[12:38:35] <skunkworks> as of now - you will still need some sort of realtime computer system with linuxcnc. Using any of the interface boards (mesa, pico, whatever) will move some of the harder stuff off (Pwm generation, step generation, encoder counting and so on)
[12:38:36] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=13131
[12:38:36] <jdh> perhaps I just don't undertand your delineation. LinuxCNC is the controller you want to disassociate.

[12:39:19] <Loetmichel> its a bit crammed in there, but works fine ;-9
[12:39:41] <rebecca> jdh: how it failed isn't relevant. the point is that each time my existing computers were not able to provide the required low latency so i took the effort to hunt out a computer which could.. then they failed.
[12:40:39] -!- gonzo_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[12:41:18] <skunkworks> rebecca, using supported external interface cards allows for 'less stringent' realtime on the computer side. but you still need realtime on the computer side.

[12:43:15] <rebecca> skunkworks: hmmmm, got an example of such a thing?
[12:43:53] <jdh> easiest example for steppers is mesa 5i25+7i76
[12:44:10] <jdh> (or 6i25)
[12:44:18] <skunkworks> So instead of trying to make steps from the computer - the hardware makes the steps. So instead of the computer needing a realtime loop in the 20-40khz - it only requres 1-2khz
[12:44:46] <rebecca> Loetmichel: I did build the PC into the CNC cabinet.. which is why i was so pissed off when it failed, hah
[12:44:56] <Loetmichel> i see
[12:45:02] <Loetmichel> why did it fal?
[12:45:05] <Loetmichel> any idea?
[12:45:09] <Loetmichel> fail
[12:46:14] <rebecca> i think because when testing i hooked up the AT power without connecting the separate 4wire CPU power cable.. yeah. stupid mistake..
[12:46:38] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[12:46:50] <jdh> shit happens
[12:47:08] <Loetmichel> that usually dont kill anything, it just doesent work

[12:47:45] <Loetmichel> i forgot that cable countless times

[12:48:18] <Loetmichel> "WTF? *searching* "ahn the 12V 4pin... *plug in* *reset* THERE it goes!
[12:48:24] <skunkworks> rebecca, I don't know exactly what you are looking for.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPzow8L1dxw&list=UUHk52YjGT8HryRYmJKSl-lg
[12:48:29] <rebecca> well, i think it killed it that time..
[12:48:49] <skunkworks> This is a 5i25 into a simple breakout board -> to parker drives (step/dir)
[12:49:18] <skunkworks> so the 5125 is doing the step generation - not linuxcnc. linuxcnc is only running a 1khz realtime thread.
[12:49:22] <jdh> that looks really cool withouth the head
[12:49:40] <rebecca> skunkworks: fascinating
[12:49:48] <rebecca> and fast
[12:50:25] <skunkworks> on a bigger scale.. (also using mesa hardware) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39q6kvrSBSk&list=UUHk52YjGT8HryRYmJKSl-lg

[12:50:38] <jdh> are those S series drives? (S6?)
[12:50:44] <skunkworks> jdh, yes
[12:51:34] <skunkworks> The big machine is using servo drives - closed loop back to linuxcnc.
[12:51:34] <jdh> I have a couple sitting here, and some Zetas that are a little nicer
[12:51:58] <skunkworks> jdh, I like them - the are like 160 volts to the stepper..
[12:52:16] <rebecca> hmmm.. linuxCNC doesn't support any of the USB mesa cards for such purposes does it?
[12:52:21] <jdh> and a whole bunch of A series drives I rescued from the dumpster.
[12:52:29] <skunkworks> rebecca, no.
[12:52:31] <rebecca> :/
[12:52:41] <jdh> USB isn't RT

[12:55:50] <skunkworks> rebecca, I don't have any problem with pci - what issues do you see?
[12:56:10] <jdh> PCI could be considered 'legacy' in which case, 6i25?
[12:56:51] <rebecca> skunkworks: well, my shiny new laptop doesn't have a parallel port let alone a PCI slot.. so... that's a show stopper there
[12:57:10] <jdh> laptops are not good for RT
[12:57:16] <rebecca> exactly
[12:57:29] <jdh> so, don't use them for RT.
[12:57:32] <rebecca> which is why i don't want the PC part of things doing the RT
[12:58:06] <jdh> I don't consider my atom board + mesa cards a "PC"

[15:06:54] <lair82> Ran into an issue, I am looking at retrofitting a VMC, and after looking at the current antiquated control, and wiring, I see that the entire machine is 120VAC controlled. After looking at the offerings from Mesa, and Pico, I don't see anything that will accept 120VAC inputs, or maybe I am missing something. Any thoughts on an easy inexpensive work around?
[15:07:30] <zeeshan> how many inputs are you talking about
[15:07:53] <lair82> 60-70
[15:08:03] <zeeshan> hehe
[15:08:04] <lair82> Maybe more
[15:08:08] <zeeshan> thats a lot.
[15:08:12] <Jymmm> 120VAC INPUTS? As in relay logic?
[15:08:36] <zeeshan> yea its common on industrial machines
[15:08:44] <lair82> All the limit switches, pushbuttons, relays, are all 120VAC
[15:08:46] <zeeshan> less suseptible to noise
[15:08:47] <ssi> what machine is this?
[15:09:03] <Jymmm> Oh, I've done it before. 120VAC for the logic, 220/440 for the controls
[15:09:06] <zeeshan> lair82: you can just push 24VDC through the push buttons and switches
[15:09:23] <zeeshan> honestly i was thinking a relay board
[15:09:28] <zeeshan> bot 60-70 relays is out of the question
[15:09:39] <zeeshan> you can maybe use a PLC.
[15:09:54] <lair82> Its a 1979 Cincinnati milacron 10VC-1000 machining center
[15:10:00] <zeeshan> probably the cheapest thing to do..
[15:10:31] -!- James628 has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[15:10:55] <Jymmm> Could use a opto22 relay board
[15:11:08] <jdh> that's a lotta relays
[15:11:08] <PetefromTn_> my Cincinatti Arrow 500 is all 110v controls relays etc and they are switched with 24VDC control logic via MESA 5i25/7i77...
[15:11:27] <Jymmm> It IS a retrofit, so either stick with what's there, or refit it accordingly
[15:11:44] <lair82> I was looking at trying to switch it over to 24VDC, but haven't fully dug thru the prints to see if it will be as straight forward as maybe just unhooking from the AC transformer and installing a DC power supply
[15:11:56] <ssi> probably
[15:11:59] <jdh> for plain old switches/etc it shoudl be
[15:12:00] <zeeshan> lair82 it probably is
[15:12:04] <ssi> I'm about to pull both transformers out of my cinci
[15:12:11] <zeeshan> the only thing you might have issues with is proximity switches
[15:12:12] <zeeshan> if it has any
[15:12:37] <jdh> do they make 120vac prox switches?
[15:12:43] <zeeshan> ya
[15:13:04] <zeeshan> i never have seen 24vdc prox switches before
[15:13:14] <jdh> usually 10-30vdc
[15:13:17] <zeeshan> most of the ones at the factory i was fixing shit at was 120vac
[15:13:27] <lair82> I looked at the relay idea, I really like the the " http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Relays_-z-_Timers/Electro-Mechanical_Relays/Slim_-z-_Card_Relays,_5A_(RS_Series)/RS4N-DE" from AD, but those are only offered in 24VDC
[15:13:30] <zeeshan> omron and rockwell
[15:13:34] <Jymmm> zeeshan: http://www.amazon.com/PR08-2-DN-12-24V-Inductive-Proximity-Detector/dp/B0055B53WE
[15:13:49] <zeeshan> Jymmm: i know they exist now :)
[15:13:56] <zeeshan> i was looking to buy some for the lathe
[15:14:03] <zeeshan> until i cheaped out with mechanical s/w
[15:14:15] <jdh> we probably have 10k 10-30vdc prox switches here
[15:14:23] <zeeshan> jdh gimme some
[15:14:27] <zeeshan> free!
[15:14:39] <PetefromTn_> my machine had a bank of relays that were 120v switched by 24v
[15:14:40] <jdh> I threw away hundreds recently
[15:14:41] <Jymmm> zeeshan: Shipping $10,000,000
[15:14:45] <zeeshan> wtf
[15:14:45] <zeeshan> threw?
[15:14:47] <zeeshan> THREW?!?!
[15:14:56] <Jymmm> jdh: WTF?!
[15:14:59] <zeeshan> throw them TO ME!
[15:14:59] <CaptHindsight> lair82: how much of that 120VAC relay logic can be replaced by a PLC or an FPGA+IO board?

[15:16:13] <zeeshan> when they taught us automation in college
[15:16:25] <zeeshan> we started with pneumatic logic
[15:16:27] <zeeshan> then relay
[15:16:28] <zeeshan> then plc
[15:16:29] <jdh> it was about 25ft x 18ft. Had to be cut to fit in 4x4x4 boxes
[15:16:38] <zeeshan> pneumatic + relay logic = crazy.
[15:16:48] <lair82> The relays aren't a big deal, I am going to use the relays I mentioned earlier as a replacement for the control of the solenoids, contactors etc, it was the input side of things that I was looking at.

[15:20:12] <ssi> I knew it was 5 series
[15:20:15] <ssi> I need the motor datasheet
[15:20:20] <zeeshan> check out that pdf
[15:20:23] <zeeshan> might help
[15:20:38] <ssi> if it's just pinouts, it won't help
[15:20:41] <ssi> I have all that already
[15:20:48] <zeeshan> yea its pinouts
[15:20:57] <zeeshan> and how to interface it with the cnetroid controller
[15:21:47] <zeeshan> theres also
[15:21:51] <zeeshan> kp ki kd values
[15:21:51] <zeeshan> ktr
[15:21:53] <zeeshan> *kt
[15:21:56] <zeeshan> to help you get started
[15:26:54] <ssi> I don't think that helps tbh
[15:27:07] <zeeshan> it gives your motor pinouts
[15:27:07] <ssi> unless there's a way to make the parker drives not care about motor parameters
[15:27:12] <ssi> I already had those
[15:27:17] <ssi> I have a motor spinning alreayd
[15:27:17] <zeeshan> you just need a drive
[15:27:24] <zeeshan> that hooks up to it
[15:27:50] <zeeshan> according to what im seeing here
[15:27:58] <zeeshan> you have some power cables that go to the drives
[15:28:06] <zeeshan> and some encoder cables that go to the drives
[15:28:13] <zeeshan> so your problem is you're trying to use a servo drive
[15:28:19] <zeeshan> that doesn't work with mr fanuc
[15:28:21] <zeeshan> and you
[15:28:25] <zeeshan> you're trying to make it work?
[15:28:36] <ssi> no
[15:28:57] <ssi> my problem is I'm trying to use a servo drive which is too smart for its own good, and wants to know every physical attribute about the motor that's attached to it
[15:29:07] <ssi> and mr fanuc doesn't publish any information about its stuff
[15:30:02] <zeeshan> well the power stuff (3 phase + 1 gnd) is ok
[15:30:11] <zeeshan> so the encoder is the only other thing?
[15:30:17] <ssi> no the encoder is fine
[15:30:27] <ssi> hang on
[15:30:34] <zeeshan> i have no idea what "signal A" is on the encoder
[15:30:38] <zeeshan> B /A /B
[15:30:39] <zeeshan> Z /Z
[15:30:54] <zeeshan> then i see a thermal s/w pins and couple of +5v
[15:31:19] <zeeshan> oh a , b phase.
[15:31:25] <zeeshan> and prolly z is index pulse
[15:31:34] <ssi> http://www.parkermotion.com/manuals/gemini/GemGV6ig_entire_guide.pdf
[15:31:41] <ssi> look at page 78
[15:32:46] <zeeshan> okay youre trying to set all those parameters
[15:32:55] <ssi> so the way these drives work
[15:33:09] <ssi> you set all these parameters, and it figures out all the tuning for you
[15:33:18] <ssi> for torque loop, velocity loop, AND position loop
[15:33:39] <zeeshan> nice
[15:33:50] <ssi> if everything isn't set correctly, it won't even let you enable the drive
[15:34:15] <zeeshan> line to line resistance
[15:34:24] <zeeshan> cant you measure that by hooking an ohmeter between the phases?
[15:34:32] <ssi> probably
[15:34:51] <zeeshan> number of pole pairs should be 3?
[15:34:57] <ssi> 8
[15:35:00] <zeeshan> okay
[15:35:18] <ssi> so what I did initially
[15:35:33] <ssi> was go through and set every parameter that I knew the answer to
[15:35:44] <zeeshan> then guess the rest? :D
[15:35:44] <ssi> and then I put in made up values for everything else that required me to set it
[15:35:57] <ssi> and I couldn't satisfy the thing
[15:36:09] <zeeshan> i think in my controls book
[15:36:18] <zeeshan> there was a section on how to find things like
[15:36:20] <ssi> so then what I did was reset everything, find a parker motor which was as close to this motor as I could get, and dump all its settings in
[15:36:20] <zeeshan> rotor inertia
[15:36:28] <zeeshan> motor damping constant
[15:36:33] <ssi> well the one good thing is the rotor inertia is actually in that centroid pdf
[15:36:43] <ssi> but that's it
[15:36:55] <zeeshan> pwm switching frequency i have no idea how you'll find that
[15:37:00] <zeeshan> ?!
[15:37:25] postaL_offline is now known as postaL
[15:38:17] <ssi> it may be that if I want to operate these drives in velocity mode, I don't actually have to have all of it set super accurately
[15:38:54] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:39:00] <zeeshan> i think that voltage/krpm thing
[15:39:06] <zeeshan> you find by dynoing the motor
[15:39:14] <zeeshan> i forget
[15:39:39] <zeeshan> tell fanuc to be stop being ____s , and send you the motor parameters
[15:39:48] <skunkworks> lair82, the 50pin versions of mesa card interfaces will plug hook right up to the opto22 24 boards

[15:40:47] * zeeshan is so lazy to go pick it up though
[15:42:41] <ssi> 52 in lb continuous torque, 160in lb peak
[15:42:50] <ssi> I think my little parker motors are 160 in OZ continuous
[15:43:15] <ssi> which'd make sense, cause the parkers are 260W, and these are about 1kw
[15:43:27] <ssi> 52inlb is about 4x as much torque as 160inoz

[17:55:42] <Connor> why ?
[17:55:56] <ssi> wondering what the wiring was like coming off the motor
[17:56:01] <ssi> I gutted my electronics cabinet yesterday
[17:56:10] <ssi> and there's three fat wires and three skinny wires coming from the spindle
[17:56:14] <ssi> which smells of hall effects to me :D
[17:56:21] <ssi> my spindle might be a servo, rather than an induction motor
[17:56:23] <ssi> which'd be great

[19:19:58] <PCW> 14 should be fine, output may need series resistor if CPLD is not 5V tolerant

[19:20:34] <ssi> input impedance of the cpld io I guess?
[19:20:53] <PCW> depends on CPLD (does it have clamp diodes to 3.3v?)

[20:24:49] <PetefromTn_> I cannot remember what the square insert diameter is.

[20:26:03] <_methods> use a shallow step to helical bore the tapered thread to nom
[20:26:21] <PetefromTn_> it was a cheapie but it might work for this application.

[20:29:16] <_methods> there are like 3 insert cutters you can get so you can hog
[20:29:38] <PetefromTn_> seems like that tormach cutter style has multi flutes so it might be able to feed faster than a single point single flute cutter

[20:47:18] <PetefromTn_> been working on some rail designs I have orders for that are different from the ones I made recently.
[20:47:22] <ssi> just curious
[20:47:34] <PetefromTn_> Also just finished the prototype rail for the Short Steyr model.
[20:47:53] <PetefromTn_> Gotta get some screws for that and champfer the holes for the flathead capscrews.
[20:48:17] <PetefromTn_> Hopefully they will sell well here and it is just another product I can offer.
[20:48:27] <PetefromTn_> But I need to get the rigid tapping tested out.
[20:48:40] <JT-Shop> that is always fun the first time
[20:48:42] <PetefromTn_> I honestly have little doubt it will work after our short testing

[20:57:51] <JT-Shop> I really should finish this last stair rail so I can cart this pile down to the powder coater in the morning

[21:00:43] <_methods> those umax's will chamfer like mofo's though
[21:00:54] <_methods> if you have a lot of heavy chamfering that's your huckleberry
[21:01:04] <PetefromTn_> you would laugh at the champfer cutter I am using now.
[21:01:13] <PetefromTn_> but it leaves a nice finish LOL
[21:01:35] <_methods> yeah sometimes you just gotta deal with it
[21:01:49] <PetefromTn_> It is actually a quarter inch carbide tipped router bit with a 3/8 inch head diameter...
[21:01:52] <_methods> but if you have a part you need to do a lot of large chamferin on

[21:02:08] <_methods> that monkey will rip it off

[21:04:12] <_methods> yeah
[21:04:21] <PetefromTn_> those look just like what we used in the shop I worked in they work quite well.
[21:04:33] <_methods> yeah
[21:04:35] <PetefromTn_> sometimes we just used a single flute spot drill tool too...
[21:05:10] <_methods> yeah we used these since they are indexable
[21:05:23] <_methods> operators can just flip the insert and keep on rolling

[21:05:50] <_methods> that one is bigger
[21:06:10] <_methods> dmax is .866"
[21:06:21] <_methods> that will chamfer most holes
[21:08:14] <PetefromTn_> http://imgur.com/XMdvrdL My latest prototype rail....
[21:08:44] <PetefromTn_> how deep do you usually program it? depending on the size of the feature?
[21:08:53] <_methods> yeah
[21:09:00] <_methods> depends on what size csink i need
[21:09:06] <_methods> it will take it
[21:09:25] <PetefromTn_> That is actually as machined still needs deburring and more brushed finishing..
[21:09:31] <_methods> feeds and speeds on it are pretty beast
[21:10:00] <_methods> oh yeah that thing is all chamfered up
[21:10:09] <PetefromTn_> lets say you want a .050 face champfer around the edge of a part...
[21:10:25] <PetefromTn_> like the one I just posted..
[21:10:39] <PetefromTn_> how would you program that with your cutter just out of curiosity?
[21:10:51] <_methods> well i've done it several ways
[21:10:58] <_methods> depends on the shop i'm at
[21:11:07] <_methods> some people want to you to go centerline
[21:11:14] <_methods> then they offset at the tool table
[21:11:24] <_methods> some people want you to program it offset
[21:11:29] <_methods> i just kinda go with the flow
[21:11:36] <PetefromTn_> I program offset 1/8 inch
[21:11:51] <PetefromTn_> then play with depth offset to arrive at the champfer width I need.
[21:11:54] <_methods> yeah
[21:12:16] <_methods> i'll usually program it to nominal depth then take the path the shop standard is
[21:12:22] <_methods> offset or centerline
[21:12:42] <PetefromTn_> thats another problem I am having is getting my CAM to use the proper wording for tool cutter compensation for linuxCNC to work...

[21:13:42] -!- patricka_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

[21:13:50] <PetefromTn_> I would really love to be able to adjust comp at the machine
[21:13:58] <_methods> you should be able to
[21:14:06] <_methods> is cutter comp working at all?
[21:14:07] <PetefromTn_> well I program the tool edge in my cam software..
[21:14:26] <PetefromTn_> so comp is taken care of with the CAM program
[21:14:27] <_methods> well kick me an example program
[21:14:30] <_methods> ahhhhh
[21:14:39] <PetefromTn_> but I would like to be able to adjust at the machine
[21:14:43] <_methods> so it's not kickin you a g41

[21:15:12] <_methods> how is it wording it?
[21:15:18] <_methods> yeah you'll probably need to adjust your post
[21:15:31] <_methods> i use a standard fanuc 3 axis post for my stuff in linuxcnc
[21:15:37] <PetefromTn_> much like how linuxCNC uses G33.1 instead of G84 for rigid tapping... my cam does not do it that way...
[21:15:50] <_methods> yeah you'll need to edit your post
[21:15:54] <PetefromTn_> I do not have a high priced cam.
[21:16:04] <_methods> can you edit your post at all?
[21:16:15] <_methods> you using bobcad or something?
[21:16:18] <PetefromTn_> so it is limited and while it will do whatever you want you have to make and customize the post.
[21:16:29] <PetefromTn_> nope not even bobcam
[21:16:31] <_methods> well that's good so you can customize the post
[21:16:35] <PetefromTn_> CamBam...
[21:16:38] <_methods> kk
[21:16:54] <PetefromTn_> yeah it is totally customizable but it is something I have not been able to get working so far.
[21:17:00] <PetefromTn_> I am NOT a programmer type... LOL
[21:17:11] <_methods> are you using the emc2 post?
[21:17:21] <PetefromTn_> I can MAKE anything just don't ask me to program it...
[21:17:31] <PetefromTn_> yeah only its been highly modified.
[21:17:37] <_methods> ahh
[21:17:52] <PetefromTn_> the EMC2 post was very dumbed down initially from what I saw.
[21:18:12] <PetefromTn_> even in Sheetcam which I used before tho rigid tapping support is included.
[21:18:23] <_methods> the post editin looks pretty straight forward
[21:18:29] <PetefromTn_> not even sure if cutter comp is included.
[21:18:41] <PetefromTn_> yeah if you are a programmer type it does LOL..

[21:41:50] <PetefromTn_> beg?
[21:41:53] <PetefromTn_> LOL
[21:41:54] <_methods> you might be able to get 2 axis mastercam i think for like $5k
[21:42:33] <PetefromTn_> this is why I use CamBam... it is not perfect but it has allowed me to make a lot of parts that come out pretty nice...
[21:43:07] <PetefromTn_> If I can get it to output rigid tapping and the proper cutter comp code it would be reasonably decent for most parts I would need to make.
[21:43:27] <PetefromTn_> it's not mastercam but it is also only like $200.00
[21:43:33] -!- md-2 has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[21:43:54] <PetefromTn_> I looked seriously at Bobcad Cam
[21:44:06] <ssi> man I'd pay $200 in a heartbeat for something that worked reasonably well and ran on osx
[21:44:08] <PetefromTn_> it is a lot more resonable and can do most of what I need.
[21:44:08] <_methods> Cutter radius compensation. Note: CamBam does not currently calculate radius compensation codes for toolpaths.
[21:44:12] <_methods> wtf does that mean?
[21:44:26] <PetefromTn_> just exactly what it says I guess LOL
[21:44:39] <ssi> _methods: linuxcnc can do radius compensation for you, so that's not the end of the world
[21:44:40] <_methods> calculate radius compensation codes?
[21:45:06] <PetefromTn_> it has been awhile since I messed with trying it...
[21:45:33] <_methods> does taht mean if you tell it to use cutter comp it won't calculate the offset path?
[21:45:35] <PetefromTn_> after I could not get the machine to recognize the code I gave up and just have been using computer compensation.
[21:45:46] <_methods> but you said you're using it now to output the offset path right?
[21:46:22] <PetefromTn_> no what I am doing is programming the cutter edge and using the cutter diameter settings in cambam to get the toolpath I need.
[21:46:42] <PetefromTn_> basically just like sheetcam does etc..
[21:47:07] <ssi> using cutter radius compensation in linuxcnc might actually be better in the long run
[21:47:16] <_methods> yeah i program tool edge also but use wear comp
[21:47:16] <ssi> because then you can update your tool table for wear offsets and not have to regenerate gcode
[21:47:18] <PetefromTn_> Bobcad Cam is supposed to be decent I know a fellow who has a shop local to me that uses it and likes it.
[21:47:29] <_methods> that way i don't have to enter tool dia in tool tables
[21:47:38] <ssi> _methods: you use wear comp in cam?
[21:47:40] <_methods> then i just have to input wear values for my offsets
[21:47:50] <_methods> yes
[21:48:03] <PetefromTn_> aah that would be perfect but I have not been able to make it work so far..
[21:48:38] <_methods> it can burn you if you switch to a much larger tool
[21:48:45] <_methods> you can get cutter comp errors
[21:48:56] <_methods> but it's one less thing to enter and screw up

[21:52:53] <_methods> hold on
[21:53:07] <PetefromTn_> well I meant something you ran that actually worked with cutter compensation..
[21:53:16] <_methods> yeah let me look real quick
[21:53:25] <ssi> PetefromTn_: I've used cutter comp in linuxcnc on lathes
[21:53:34] <ssi> it's absolutely necessary there if you cut tapers or arcs
[21:53:42] <PetefromTn_> I am sure..
[21:54:03] <PetefromTn_> like I said I have yet to be able to get it working so I wanted to see some working code that uses it for syntax
[21:54:13] <PetefromTn_> maybe I can figure out what I am doing wrong here.
[21:54:33] <ssi> if I were you I'd just handwrite a simple program and play with it

[21:56:49] <PetefromTn_> OK thanks.
[21:57:06] <PetefromTn_> Does not look all that different from what I was posting but I need to look at it closer.
[21:57:25] <_methods> yeah i mean it should basically be g41 d1 then move
[21:57:36] <PetefromTn_> yeah.
[21:57:38] <_methods> G41/42 D#
[21:58:00] <PetefromTn_> there was some question on what line the move was on or rather the lead in move actually.
[21:58:07] <_methods> now i think linuxcnc might have been kinda funny about where i started my cutter comp
[21:58:10] <PetefromTn_> apparently the lead in move must be some certain length
[21:58:13] <_methods> yeah
[21:58:21] <_methods> it has to be larger than the comp amount
[21:58:27] <_methods> so that's another reason i use wear comp
[21:58:34] <PetefromTn_> which for me will be a problem sometimes in these tighter inside contours.
[21:58:35] <_methods> i can kinda cheat that start distance
[21:58:36] <Tom_itx> ssi when i got my cad cam it paid for itself in a year
[21:59:02] <PetefromTn_> Tom_itx How did you pay for it in a year?
[21:59:22] <Tom_itx> programming parts
[21:59:31] <Tom_itx> for hire
[21:59:40] <PetefromTn_> was this when you worked with your friend or whatever in that large shop?
[21:59:43] <Tom_itx> yes
[21:59:53] <PetefromTn_> well that is understandable then.
[21:59:58] <Tom_itx> and a couple other smaller shops
[22:00:29] <Tom_itx> yeah if you don't have the parts to make it may not be _as_ worth it...
[22:00:31] <PetefromTn_> There is no question a pro level cam will expedite things and make much more efficient toolpaths which spells money.
[22:00:46] <Tom_itx> expect to pay around 8k or more
[22:01:03] -!- kfoltman has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[22:01:04] <Tom_itx> i gave 6 probably 20 yrs ago
[22:01:30] <ssi> and you still use the same 20 year old version?
[22:01:36] <Tom_itx> i do
[22:01:42] <Tom_itx> and it still cuts 3d parts
[22:01:58] <Tom_itx> i'd love to have the latest and greatest but it's not worth it for me now
[22:02:08] <Tom_itx> since all i have is a sherline
[22:02:36] <Tom_itx> ssi, the first one i got was a dos platform
[22:02:37] <Tom_itx> :D
[22:02:38] <PetefromTn_> you have onecnc right?
[22:02:47] <Tom_itx> ?
[22:02:50] <Tom_itx> i have smartcam
[22:02:55] <PetefromTn_> oh yeah sorry.
[22:03:03] <Tom_itx> it's very similar to mastercam
[22:03:03] <PetefromTn_> I confused you with someone else.
[22:03:20] <Tom_itx> at the time it had better features
[22:04:10] <ssi> I wish I had more time
[22:04:15] <ssi> I really need to just write my own cam
[22:04:31] <PetefromTn_> Seems like a low end seat of Solidworks and HSM works is a very reasonable option.
[22:04:38] <Tom_itx> <ssi> so what does one do if one doesn't have 100k/yr revenue from machinework?
[22:04:44] <Tom_itx> hire out what you can't do yourself
[22:04:54] <ssi> hire out cam?
[22:04:56] <Tom_itx> that's what my friend did
[22:04:58] <Tom_itx> yes
[22:04:58] <ssi> that sounds counterproductive
[22:05:09] <ssi> while I'm at it
[22:05:13] <ssi> I might as well hire out machine work
[22:05:16] <PetefromTn_> actually that depends a lot on what you are making and in what quantities
[22:05:17] <Tom_itx> it's costly but in production it's part of the part
[22:05:23] <ssi> or just stop making stuff altogether
[22:05:35] <ssi> just be a good little consumer and buy everything from walmart
[22:05:41] <Tom_itx> heh
[22:05:42] <PetefromTn_> if you make a few parts and make tons of them it is a good option.
[22:05:47] <ssi> it's silly for me to resist the way of the world
[22:05:59] <Tom_itx> have you looked at what JT-Shop did?
[22:06:14] <Tom_itx> he's got a decent set of routines you can patch together
[22:06:14] <_methods> http://heekscnc.blogspot.com/
[22:06:21] <ssi> yeah I'm familiar with it
[22:06:23] <_methods> i've used it a bit
[22:06:24] <PetefromTn_> if you are a job shop and make lots of different parts it is way better to get a competent CAD CAM package.
[22:06:29] <ssi> i used the ngcgui stuff on the lathe quite a bit
[22:06:32] <_methods> it works pretty damn good for free
[22:06:42] <ssi> _methods: I would love to try it, but I've never been able to get it to build
[22:06:51] <_methods> really?
[22:06:56] <_methods> i think i just installed it on windows
[22:07:01] <ssi> I don't even windows, bro
[22:07:01] <Tom_itx> ssi, we'd MDI all our lathe parts.. it was hardly worth programming for them
[22:07:03] <PetefromTn_> does it have rigid tapping, 3d toolpath strategies etc?
[22:07:09] <_methods> yeah man
[22:07:14] <Tom_itx> then save the files for future
[22:07:21] <ssi> Tom_itx: if you have a lathe with roughing/finishing cycles, that's a way to go
[22:07:26] <_methods> try it out it's free
[22:07:28] <ssi> sadly, linuxcnc doesn't have them :/

[22:08:47] <_methods> hmm
[22:08:51] <_methods> maybe i don't know
[22:08:54] <PetefromTn_> maybe it is perfect and I missed out LOL
[22:09:04] <_methods> i was looking for a open source toolpath for my local makerspace
[22:09:18] <_methods> so i did some classes on freecad and heekscnc
[22:09:29] <PetefromTn_> I actually like Freecad...
[22:09:34] <PetefromTn_> it is getting better all the time.
[22:09:35] <_methods> tought how to make a simple rectangle with 4 holeas

[22:10:54] <ssi> in theory
[22:10:57] <ssi> again, it's never built for me :)
[22:11:22] <_methods> heheh
[22:11:31] <ssi> I've pretty much had bad luck with cam all the way around
[22:11:39] <PetefromTn_> I have seen folks sell Bobcad Cam for relatively cheap and it may not be mastercam but it is a decent package apparently.
[22:11:48] <_methods> yeah
[22:11:57] <_methods> for 90% of what people are gonna do
[22:12:00] <_methods> bobcad will do it
[22:12:05] <PetefromTn_> it has 3d and rigid tapping etc etc..
[22:12:15] <_methods> i mean fairly simple 2d toolpaths are all most people do
[22:12:20] <_methods> or want to do
[22:12:32] <PetefromTn_> I have seen last years copies of seats sell for a couple hundred bucks online.. and on craigslist.
[22:13:10] <ssi> $3500 for 3d
[22:13:13] <ssi> $4k for 4d
[22:13:20] <ssi> stupid
[22:13:25] <PetefromTn_> I want to have 3d options as well as cutter compensation and tapping cycles built in or I am not interested in paying for it.
[22:13:28] <_methods> so it travles in time?
[22:13:34] <_methods> isnt' the 4th dimension time?
[22:13:47] <_methods> i need that 4d package
[22:13:49] <ssi> I'm not interested in paying thousands of dollars for anything I can't run natively
[22:13:53] <Tom_itx> maybe he meant multi axis
[22:13:54] <PetefromTn_> no the fourth dimension is where I go when my wife is nagging at me..
[22:13:57] <ssi> 4th axis
[22:14:00] <_methods> hahah
[22:14:16] <PetefromTn_> what price is that for?
[22:14:37] <ssi> huh?
[22:14:49] <PetefromTn_> the prices you just posted are for what package?
[22:14:57] <ssi> bobcad cam
[22:15:15] <PetefromTn_> yeah from what I understand if you call them and haggle they are MUCH less than that generally.
[22:15:30] <ssi> not interested :P
[22:15:37] <PetefromTn_> and you can buy last years copy for much less than that.
[22:16:01] <PetefromTn_> I understand you can pay like a hundred bucks and get some support for older versions too apparently.
[22:16:35] <PetefromTn_> hey like I said it is not mastercam or HSMworks but it is reasonable and my friend has a pro shop here that uses it daily.
[22:17:01] <Tom_itx> http://www.nccs.com/products/ncl.html
[22:17:06] <Tom_itx> there's what ya need
[22:18:21] <PetefromTn_> how much does that cost?
[22:18:36] <Tom_itx> more than i got
[22:18:43] <PetefromTn_> I am sure.
[22:18:49] <PetefromTn_> it is more than i got too
[22:19:20] <ssi> well this is just fantastic
[22:19:29] <PetefromTn_> really for what I do here even a decent seat of Bobcad Cam would work fine.. I am not making anything terribly complex.
[22:19:40] <ssi> I'm so freaking over big companies and their bullshit licensing
[22:19:43] <ssi> I'm trying to use ISE webpack
[22:19:46] <ssi> which is FREE btw
[22:19:47] <PetefromTn_> fourth axis would be nice
[22:19:52] <ssi> but I have to have a license for it
[22:19:55] <ssi> a FREE license mind you
[22:19:59] <Tom_itx> and so is their licensing
[22:20:00] <Tom_itx> yes
[22:20:07] <Tom_itx> they wanna know who you are
[22:20:10] <ssi> and their license generator is broken
[22:20:19] <ssi> when I finally managed to get it to generate a license
[22:20:21] <Tom_itx> i can send you one
[22:20:22] <ssi> it emailed it to me
[22:20:28] <PetefromTn_> I intend to build or buy one for the Cincinatti at some point hopefully soon.
[22:20:29] <ssi> to an email address which currently isn't working at the moment
[22:20:34] <ssi> and I can't change my email address
[22:20:34] <Tom_itx> ssi, ver 14?
[22:20:37] <ssi> yeah
[22:21:11] <ssi> I've been downloading and installing this crap for the last four hours
[22:21:28] <jdh> all for a test?
[22:21:44] <ssi> eh, more than just a test
[22:21:47] <PetefromTn_> He's nothing if not persistent hehe
[22:21:59] <ssi> all to avoid spending thousands of dollars on new motors
[22:23:18] <_methods> i see 4th axis's alot at auctions
[22:23:25] <jdh> oh. I thought you were planning on using a cpld and this was just a test on an fpga
[22:23:26] <_methods> they sell pretty cheap usually
[22:23:29] <PetefromTn_> grab me one cheap man!!
[22:23:49] <PetefromTn_> I need like an 8 incher or so..
[22:23:51] <ssi> jdh: I'll need the same crap for cpld
[22:23:57] <_methods> yeah i was at one auction they had 4 of them that sold for like $2k each
[22:24:10] <PetefromTn_> Oh I thought you said cheap hehehe
[22:24:36] <_methods> haha for a 4th axis that is cheap
[22:24:42] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know..
[22:24:48] <_methods> they're like $10k+ new
[22:24:52] <PetefromTn_> yup
[22:25:03] <_methods> 2 were older haas rotabs
[22:25:04] <PetefromTn_> thats more than I paid for both my cars...
[22:25:10] <_methods> can't remember what the other 2 were
[22:25:18] <_methods> maybe kitagawa's
[22:25:34] <PetefromTn_> I am hoping to find a non working one for a song.
[22:25:35] <ssi> figured out how to change my email on xilinx site
[22:25:41] <ssi> but it goes into endless loop of client certificate popups
[22:25:54] <PetefromTn_> I ALMOST had one awhile back that Connor linked to me for cheap but I thought it was an auction and just started bidding...
[22:25:58] <_methods> all i can say is auction whore
[22:26:15] <_methods> auctions and patience
[22:26:19] <PetefromTn_> it was actually a buy it now apparently for like $300.00
[22:26:23] <_methods> you can build a machine shop for pennies
[22:26:28] <PetefromTn_> what a jackhole I am for missing that deal.
[22:26:38] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know I am doing that...
[22:26:40] <_methods> oh jesus
[22:26:44] <_methods> yeah that hurts
[22:26:56] <PetefromTn_> that's all I have here...pennies LOL
[22:27:04] <_methods> yeah man i just scored a uline vacuum sealer for $300
[22:27:08] <PetefromTn_> sometimes I actually have two I can rub together.
[22:27:19] <PetefromTn_> ;)

[22:38:32] <_methods> can you say piss test
[22:38:36] <PetefromTn_> looks like a video from Alcoa Aluminum here in
[22:39:10] <PetefromTn_> they have lots of huge crucible pots and make massive ingots like that for delivery to their other local plant.
[22:39:33] <PetefromTn_> I would not be surprised if that video is a safety training video of what NOT to do for their employees
[22:39:42] <ssi> ha this is pretty funny
[22:39:44] <ssi> talking to a friend of mine
[22:39:54] <ssi> he said they had a switch plate in the kitchen that was getting hot to the touch
[22:40:04] <ssi> so he shut down the breaker and removed the switch
[22:40:14] <ssi> and when they turned the breaker back on, they noticed none of the outlets in the garage were working
[22:40:26] <ssi> and discovered that all the outlets in the garage were running through that one switch
[22:40:31] <PetefromTn_> doh!

[22:43:11] <ssi> I had to rip out and redo a bunch of wiring that was very badly done

[22:43:21] <PetefromTn_> yeah ask them to replace your home built 100k uncompleted aeroplane

[23:14:57] <ssi> I have a good first step
[23:15:10] <ssi> I can spin the motor, and the fanuc commutation signals light up on my status LEDs on the fpga devboard
[23:15:27] <ssi> next to write the lookuptable, and show the generated hall signals on status LEDs as well
[23:15:46] <ssi> then I can assign them out to output pins that are running a 7407 for open collector outputs
[23:15:49] <ssi> then wire up the drive
[23:15:50] <ssi> piece of cake :)
[23:16:44] <Tom_itx> i figured you'd have that done by now...
[23:17:34] <ssi> yeah I've been slow :)
[23:17:44] <ssi> it's been YEARS since I did any hdl

[23:35:23] <Jymmm> ironic part.... it's sparking and they jsut calmly walk around
[23:35:38] <PetefromTn_> and that was for the smaller fires that happen usually around their heat shielding stuff.
[23:36:07] <Jymmm> The way thefir trailed, I think the sparks hit a gas line or something
[23:36:48] <Jymmm> or maybe that was just the camera reacting to the flashes of the metal
