[01:37:46] <Tom_itx> nice
[01:39:39] <generic_nick> it can actually cut my parts and hold a 45ipm feedrate around tight contours with abrupt direction changes
[01:46:34] <generic_nick> i can only get 275ipm rapids but when i get the 4th axis on there, i wont have to rapid as far with the tombstone fixture on it.

[01:55:09] <Tom_itx> the additional weight may slow it down as well
[01:55:30] <generic_nick> it wont add much.
[01:55:57] <generic_nick> i have a large fixture plate on the mill now that probably weighs the same as the 4th axis
[01:56:04] <generic_nick> that's coming off.
[01:56:30] <generic_nick> i was able to carry the 4th axis so it's probably less than 200lbs
[01:56:47] <generic_nick> http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSHMAN-14-INCH-CNC-4TH-AXIS-ROTARY-TABLE-DIFFERENT-SERVO-MOTORS-AVAILABLE-/360472643047
[01:57:14] <generic_nick> i got that one (nowhere near that price though)
[02:00:12] <skunkworks> generic_nick: what ended up being the problem?
[02:00:37] <generic_nick> 2 drives and 1 resolver were bad
[02:01:05] <generic_nick> so i swapped it all out for brushed dc motors and copley 215 drives
[02:01:24] <skunkworks> was it a surge?
[02:01:28] <generic_nick> no clue
[02:01:43] <generic_nick> the drives were always flakey. they were digital
[02:01:55] <skunkworks> oh - step/dir
[02:01:57] <skunkworks> ?
[02:02:00] <generic_nick> nope
[02:02:26] <generic_nick> 10v+-
[02:02:36] <skunkworks> oh - interesting.. What brand?
[02:03:00] <generic_nick> the resolvers ran to the drives and the drives sent out a quadrature signal to the 7i33
[02:03:05] <generic_nick> pac sci
[02:03:20] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[02:03:47] <generic_nick> i have 2 good motors and 2 good drives, ill use one set in the 4th axis i guess.
[02:03:59] <generic_nick> should be more than enough for that i would hope
[02:09:31] <skunkworks> neat
[02:18:52] <generic_nick> i wonder if i should use my other spare servo for my toolchanger
[02:19:03] <generic_nick> to rotate the carosuel
[02:19:28] <generic_nick> right now it has a geneva(sp) drive
[02:19:33] <generic_nick> slower than balls
[02:23:14] <GammaX> ughhh
[02:23:23] <GammaX> Think I just royally screwedmy rotary encoder...
[02:23:25] <generic_nick> ?
[02:23:33] <generic_nick> how?
[02:23:41] <GammaX> anyone know how to remove super glue?
[02:23:50] <jdh> acetone
[02:24:12] <GammaX> yeah it doesnt seem to be working... :/
[02:24:14] <generic_nick> it's hard to screw up that encoder
[02:24:46] <generic_nick> on the turret?
[02:24:55] <GammaX> generic, the original glue on the inside that held a holographic thing came off and that piece needed to be reglued.
[02:24:58] <GammaX> no x
[02:25:05] <generic_nick> ah
[02:25:39] <generic_nick> nevermind then, i assume those are easy to screw up
[02:25:44] <GammaX> I think it will work for now and someone on ebay has 2 of them for 30 each polus 10 shipping... but im a jew so i realy dont wanna buy em

[07:42:42] <WalterN> is there a reason why CO2 lasers are generally used for engraving?
[07:43:15] <WalterN> (for laser engraving)
[07:43:25] <WalterN> or are diode lasers just as good?
[07:50:09] -!- theorbtwo [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:51:10] -!- chopper79 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:51:10] -!- chopper79 has quit [Client Quit]
[07:51:12] <toastydeath> co2 emits primarly in the infrared spectrum, and the lasing cavity is easily made to handle high output
[07:51:26] -!- b_b has quit [Changing host]
[07:51:45] <WalterN> yeah
[07:51:58] <WalterN> CO2 is something like 1,500nm wavelength
[07:52:00] <toastydeath> it's also VERY easy to cool
[07:52:07] <WalterN> diode laser is 810nm
[07:52:12] -!- thesisb has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[07:52:14] <toastydeath> so when you have a 2kw laser, it's not going to overheat when you run it for an 8 hour shift
[07:52:55] <toastydeath> cheap, easy, and effective.
[07:52:58] <WalterN> sure, for larger power outputs, CO2 is the way to go
[07:53:32] <WalterN> for maybe 80 watts or less, diode does not seem too bad
[07:54:10] <WalterN> I'm wondering about the wavelength difference though
[07:54:42] <WalterN> 1,500nm is what most heat radiates at
[07:54:45] <WalterN> or there abouts
[07:54:52] <toastydeath> not really an issue
[07:55:04] <WalterN> 810nm is essentially red
[07:55:13] <toastydeath> absorbancy is the issue, not emission
[07:58:38] <toastydeath> and also, it mostly just affects cut speed
[07:58:58] <toastydeath> you can cut a mirror, it'll just take awhile.

[14:03:50] <Guest97804> I have a linuxcnc / hal question. Is this the appropriate place to ask?
[14:04:08] <jdh> ask, and find out!
[14:06:02] -!- holst has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[14:14:14] <Guest97804> does the order of the pins in a net command important ie is "net probe hm2_5i20.0.gpio.035.in => motion.probe-input" the same as "net IN11 <= hm2_5i20.0.gpio.035.in"
[14:15:12] <cradek> the order doesn't matter, but your example muddies your question and I'm not sure that's what you're asking
[14:16:31] <Guest97804> sorry is net probe hm2_5i20.0.gpio.035.in => motion.probe-input" the same as net probe motion.probe-input <= hm2_5i20.0.gpio.035.in"
[14:19:03] -!- gonzo___ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:19:46] <pcw_home> Yes as cradek says, order is unimportant (except the signal must be first)

[14:21:47] <Guest97804> great thanks. I knew the arrows were just for humans but I wasn't sure about the order.
[14:22:10] -!- jfire has quit [Client Quit]
[14:23:57] <pcw_home> since I'm a schematic kind of guy, I think of the net command as making a named 'wire'

[14:25:17] -!- mhaberler [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:25:22] <pcw_home> so the order of nodes is not important
[14:26:12] <Guest97804> helpful analogy, thanks peter
[14:28:06] <pcw_home> Now where's the metadata so the the editor knows the types and directions of the pins/parameters so it can color code them :-)

[16:20:06] -!- automata [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:20:06] <cpresser> those signs always confused me. until i learned it doesn matter which one you use.
[16:20:30] <ssi> I think they're useful for keeping track of what is intended to be inputs or outputs or bidirectional signals
[16:21:06] <jdh> unless you just got it wrong when you typed it.
[16:21:15] <pcw_home> wheres the color hi-lighting?
[16:21:59] <cpresser> ssi: since each net has only one input, just put in in the first place.
[16:22:12] <WalterN> L84Supper: does laser engraving care about what wavelength is used?
[16:22:14] <cpresser> also its possibel to chose signal names which reflect if a signal is input or output
[16:22:47] <pcw_home> you need a netname, not a pin as the first parameter
[16:22:59] <generic_nick|2> pcw_home: got a question for ya. i have a 7i48 on the way, and some pacific scientific digital servo drives. the servo has a resolver that goes to the servo drive and the drive converts it to a quadrature signal that in turn goes to the 7i48. will i have any issues with the 7i48 and this setup since the 7i48 will not be supplying the power for the encoder? i just dont want to fry anything again.
[16:23:00] <pcw_home> (pin or parameter)
[16:23:01] <cpresser> WalterN: yes. some materials are transparent for some wavelengths. glass for example is transparent for visible light, but not for far infrared
[16:23:27] -!- dway has quit [Quit: NOOOOOOooooooooo……]
[16:23:38] <cpresser> pcw_home: true. i was mor thinking of 'net <netname> <inputpin> <outpin1> <outpin2> ...'
[16:23:56] <WalterN> cpresser: how about for the context of metals?
[16:24:02] <WalterN> and plastics
[16:24:09] <generic_nick|2> pcw_home: also, is polarity for the encoder inputs important?
[16:24:24] <cpresser> WalterN: acrylic is transparent for visible, but not for IR
[16:24:32] <pcw_home> generic_nick|2: you should not have an issue but make sure the drives and PC have a common ground
[16:24:43] <cpresser> metals also have quite different properties.
[16:25:01] <cpresser> i thinkt the mirrors in my co2-laser are made of metal
[16:25:17] -!- ve7it [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:25:20] <pcw_home> yes changing polarity of a +/- pair will reverse the encoder direction
[16:25:37] <generic_nick|2> right, but i meant in regards to cooking the 7i48
[16:25:38] <WalterN> cpresser: so mostly its a question to if the material is transparent to the wavelength used?
[16:26:07] -!- IchGuckLive [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:26:12] <cpresser> WalterN: better: the inverse question: will it absorb the light.
[16:26:12] <IchGuckLive> hi all B)
[16:26:54] <cpresser> all incoming light is either: aborbed, refracted or passes the material
[16:27:00] <WalterN> cpresser: and if it does not? can I cover it with a thin layer of something that will?
[16:27:14] <cpresser> nope, then you will just cut your thin layer
[16:28:26] <IchGuckLive> pcb on laser ß
[16:28:41] <IchGuckLive> WalterN: ?
[16:28:47] <WalterN> ..?
[16:29:08] <IchGuckLive> thin layer absorb thinking of cutting pcb on laser
[16:29:50] <WalterN> well, when I got my diode laser for doing this stuff with, I didnt think about different wavelengths being able to do different things
[16:30:09] <IchGuckLive> B)
[16:30:09] <cpresser> WalterN: ist the laser visible?
[16:30:27] <WalterN> CO2 lasers are something like 1,500nm, diode laser is 810nm
[16:30:37] <generic_nick|2> pcw_home: is the /ENCA terminal generally for A+ or A-?
[16:30:51] <pcw_home> A-
[16:30:57] <ssi> / means not, so it's your low pin
[16:31:03] <cpresser> WalterN: CO2-Lasers are around 10µm.
[16:31:33] <WalterN> 1,000nm?
[16:31:37] <ssi> 10,000
[16:31:43] <WalterN> (derp)
[16:31:45] <ssi> :)
[16:31:59] <WalterN> 10,000? I thought they were a lot shorter
[16:32:07] <WalterN> mid-ranged IR
[16:32:10] * WalterN google
[16:32:15] <WalterN> *googles
[16:32:23] <ssi> wiki sez: The CO2 laser produces a beam of infrared light with the principal wavelength bands centering around 9.4 and 10.6 micrometers.
[16:32:24] <generic_nick|2> awesome, thanks. yea, believe it or not, i am not an electical engineer :D
[16:32:39] <ssi> ie ~10µm = 10,000nm

[16:33:31] <WalterN> oh I guess
[16:33:32] <WalterN> lol
[16:33:54] <WalterN> anyway, when I got my diode laser, I didnt think about wavelength differences
[16:34:13] <generic_nick|2> just waiting on the 7i48 so i can swap the 7i33 out for it and work on the 4th axis
[16:34:20] <WalterN> 'focus a bunch of power on one spot and its all good'
[16:34:35] <cpresser> WalterN: basically you should be able to work with material which are not transparent for visible light
[16:35:48] <WalterN> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Commercial_laser_lines.svg
[16:36:20] <ssi> generic_nick|2: excellent :)
[16:36:50] <WalterN> interesting... its lacking diode lasers
[16:37:26] <cpresser> WalterN: i see InGaAs or GaAlAs
[16:37:28] <WalterN> or at least, the 810nm ones
[16:38:02] <cpresser> those are all semiconductor laser types
[16:38:22] <WalterN> yeah
[16:38:35] <WalterN> I dont see the 810nm one though
[16:39:33] <WalterN> oh, 810nm is barely visible too... evidently its close enough to red that I can faintly see some of the beam
[16:39:47] <cpresser> WalterN: its within the GaAlAs block?
[16:40:05] <WalterN> most charts end red at 700-750nm
[16:40:24] <WalterN> cpresser: no idea?
[16:40:26] -!- Simooon [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:41:01] <cpresser> idea for what exactly?
[16:41:28] <WalterN> cpresser: all I know is that most lasers sold as 'diode lasers' operate at 808nm
[16:42:07] <WalterN> (like mine)
[16:42:09] <cpresser> WalterN: the emitters in laserpointer device are also diode lasers
[16:42:23] <cpresser> and they are visible (red & green are common)

[16:59:30] <ssi> that's a nice machine
[16:59:33] <ssi> I want to get something like that
[16:59:37] <ssi> something that is cheap cause it needs a retrofit

[17:00:08] <generic_nick|2> has a ATC on it
[17:00:44] <ssi> very nice
[17:00:47] <generic_nick|2> when i got it it was running a bandit I and steppers
[17:00:56] <ssi> poor thing :D
[17:01:01] <generic_nick|2> i know...
[17:01:01] <ssi> what's the spindle on it?
[17:01:02] <ssi> CAT?
[17:01:08] <generic_nick|2> nmbt40
[17:01:19] <ssi> what type of motor?
[17:01:25] <generic_nick|2> 3hp ac
[17:01:39] <generic_nick|2> 3 phase, running on a vfd
[17:01:42] <ssi> gotcha
[17:01:47] <ssi> single gearing?
[17:02:44] <generic_nick|2> it still has low gear but i have never used it. i replaced the varidrive setup with v belts and pulleys. it's set up to run 6k rpm
[17:02:52] <ssi> gotcha
[17:02:57] <generic_nick|2> i run the motor up to 120hz
[17:03:11] <ssi> the bearings will be happy at 6k?
[17:03:13] <generic_nick|2> it was spinning 6k in the video
[17:03:19] <generic_nick|2> probably not lol
[17:03:22] <L84Supper> the spindle was wobbling around all over :)
[17:03:22] <ssi> :D
[17:04:17] <generic_nick|2> dont care, spindle bearings are only $500, and i save way more than that by being able to cut nearly twice as fast.
[17:04:36] <ssi> well when you burn them up
[17:04:40] <ssi> put some in that'll handle it
[17:04:57] <generic_nick|2> so far they're fine, i've been running it at 6k rpm all day for 3 years now
[17:05:12] <ssi> does the headstock get warm?\
[17:05:17] <generic_nick|2> and they're the original spindle bearings from 1984 i would assume
[17:05:21] <generic_nick|2> nope
[17:05:30] <ssi> carry on then I suppose :D
[17:05:37] <generic_nick|2> lol
[17:05:41] <ssi> measured the runout?
[17:05:51] <generic_nick|2> i have a spare spindle anyways
[17:06:07] <generic_nick|2> no measurable slop in the spindle so far
[17:06:46] <ssi> what do those machines cost on the open market?
[17:07:05] <generic_nick|2> probably 1k or so
[17:07:16] <ssi> I need to find me one
[17:07:26] <ssi> I paid 1k for my HNC :D
[17:07:36] <ssi> plus $1k to fetch it
[17:07:36] <generic_nick|2> same here, it was barely used too
[17:07:39] <ssi> and $5k in tooling
[17:07:39] <ssi> hahaha
[17:07:46] <generic_nick|2> haha
[17:07:52] <ssi> maybe not quite that much
[17:08:01] <generic_nick|2> tooling always costs more than the machine when it comes to hardinge
[17:08:12] <ssi> I think all total with transport and tooling and mesa hardware my whole conversion was about $4500
[17:08:12] <generic_nick|2> mine came with the toolholders fortunately
[17:08:16] <ssi> but i've spent some on tooling since then
[17:08:21] <generic_nick|2> not bad
[17:08:29] <ssi> the guy I bought the lathe from had a ton of tooling,but he charged me for it all a la carte
[17:08:35] <generic_nick|2> i got mine 10 miles away
[17:08:40] <ssi> I got mine in connecticut :P
[17:08:44] <ssi> NOT 10 miles away
[17:08:49] <generic_nick|2> ha
[17:09:08] <ssi> I dragged a trailer from atlanta to connecticut
[17:09:13] <ssi> loaded it on the trailer in the snow with a come along
[17:09:18] <generic_nick|2> i got mine from a machinery dealer. brought it home in the back of a uhaul van and unloaded it with the lift gate lol
[17:09:24] <ssi> and when I got home
[17:09:27] <ssi> I bought a forklift to unload it

[17:09:53] <generic_nick|2> i just drug mine around by hand
[17:09:56] <ssi> when I got it home, I had no way to get it off the trailer
[17:10:00] <generic_nick|2> haha
[17:10:01] <ssi> so I ended up renting a lift
[17:10:04] <ssi> cost me almost $600
[17:10:08] <generic_nick|2> damn!
[17:10:14] <ssi> so when I got the hnc, I said screw that, and boughta $2500 truck
[17:10:28] <ssi> so naturally I need to buy more machines to justify the truck ;)
[17:10:31] <generic_nick|2> i unloaded my surface grinder with a engine hoist
[17:10:42] <ssi> I dunno where the hell I'd put a mill that size though
[17:10:48] <ssi> I need to sell my clausing 12x36
[17:10:54] <generic_nick|2> it's 7000lbs
[17:11:06] <jdh> I'll trade you my Clisby lathe for it
[17:11:39] <generic_nick|2> i need to find a new manual lathe. something with a big swing and short bed

[18:29:14] <andypugh> All the moving parts of my drawbar fit down the original manual drabar hole.
[18:29:22] <FinboySlick> andypugh: Most of these spindles only expose one end of the shaft and aren't hollow though.
[18:29:42] <andypugh> That complicates things.
[18:30:06] <andypugh> Some of the Chinese spindles have a pneumatic drawbar built-in
[18:30:37] <FinboySlick> andypugh: That was sort of my original question.

[21:19:09] <chopper79> I have a random issue I keep having on my personal machine. The issue is I can run the same piece of code 4-5 times(random numbers) with no issue and then lets say on the six one the Y and Z will remian doing what they commanded to do, but the X axis will randommly just start cutting a straight line. Then I will shut LinuxCNC down and restart it and cut a coupel more sheets and then the problem comes back. This will happen no matter if I am cutting at 10

[23:53:32] <andypugh> largecheesepuff: For gang tooling, you could just skip M6 and just use the G43.
[23:54:26] <GammaX> hello hellooo
[23:54:37] <Tom_itx> does lcnc have a tool prefetch M or G code?
[23:55:03] <andypugh> But if you have a safe-retract position programmed (and M6 is programmed to go there) then I think you can just net tool-change-request to tool-changed in HAL with no toolchange logic involved and it should be fine. (ie, just take out everything related to hal_manualtoolchange)
[23:55:16] <GammaX> andypugh you mentioned gang tooling... Do you know anything about the anilam lathemate?
[23:55:19] <andypugh> Tom_itx: T can do that.
[23:55:43] <andypugh> GammaX: Not a thing :-)
[23:55:48] <GammaX> damn,
[23:56:22] <Tom_itx> ahh i see... M6 actually initiates the change

[23:56:32] <GammaX> Gotta find someone with that dang machine...
[23:56:47] <andypugh> Tom_itx: ie, if you TN M6 on one line, then TN on the next line, the Hal pins wiggle in such a way as to allow the changer to locate the next tool, then change to it on the _next_ M6.

[23:57:56] <andypugh> GammaX: After googling, I have seen them before. Like a clamp-on set of CNC slides for a conventional lathe?
[23:58:23] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes, you can have the _next_ T after each M6.
[23:58:25] <GammaX> in a tbar for a mill or gang tool setup... how much of a difference should there be between the inner diameter of the post and the hole... that make sense?
[23:58:38] <GammaX> andypugh yes!
[23:59:04] <andypugh> Always seemed quite a neat idea.
[23:59:42] <andypugh> There was a tiny second-op Hardinge with a very similar device on it on eBay the other day.
