  • Page 29 Power System Up Carefully inspect incoming power to make sure it is within range for your system. Most systems use 208-240 VAC. We recommend utilizing a Multimeter to check incoming power. If using 3 Phase, check all 3 phases. 1. Turn the door switch on. Check the transformer is outputting the correct voltage as well.
  • Page 30 Carefully jog each axis. Confirm that they are traveling in the right direction. You can verify your axis direction using this diagram. It's based off of the right hand rule. Make sure to reference the TOOL and not the table movement. ...
  • Page 31 If a motor is traveling in the wrong direction it can be easily reversed in the Mach4 software. First you will need to make sure your control is Disabled. Navigate to the top left of the screen and click Configure>Control and then click on the Motors. Select the problem motor and check the Reverse check box.
  • Page 32 Configure Software There are two options for setting up units and soft limits. Typically, the easiest way is to use the MachMotion Knee Mill Setup Wizard.  Knee Mill Setup Wizard Select the Kneemill Setup Wizard from the Configure drop down on the main menu. This will guide you through an initial setup process that will allow you to set axis unit calibration, soft limits, and spindle calibration.
  • Page 33 Units To set the units for each axis, the pitch of the ballscrew, the number of teeth on the ballscrew pulley, and the number of teeth on the motor pulley must be known. An advanced option is available for other systems of motion or if the data is not known. The wizard will go through each axis individually in order (X, Y, Z).
  • Page 34 Soft limits It is suggested to go through this part with the machine disabled and to use the handwheels to move the machine. It is possible to move the machine with the jog functionality or pendant if the speed is turned down and caution is used. Use extreme caution when jogging the machine.
  • Page 35 machine physical limits and within any limit switches on the machine, but should encompass most of the usable machine. For each position, you will either need to select Set Softlimit or Skip in order to proceed. As you move through the wizard, the image will change to help you visualize the correct positions. When you set the maximum softlimits for each machine, the control will set your Home position to the same place, unless the machine has previously been homed.
  • Page 36 After exiting the wizard, limits will be activated. It is now possible to enable the machine and jog the axes into their limits. When the limit is reached, the machine will cease moving in that direction. It is a good idea to turn down the jog rate and test the limits at this point. Use extreme caution while testing limits in the event that an axis was accidentally skipped or set at an incorrect position.
  • Page 37 Spindle Calibration The spindle calibration wizard requires you to read the specifications from the spindle and insert them into the wizard. The information needed is the maximum RPM for low gear, the maximum RPM for high gear, and the amps for full load. These should be input and then Save selected. The spindle can be tested by inputting a spindle speed on the screen and then pressing the ...
  • Page 38 If you want to calibrate your spindle with a tachometer, please see the VFD - Spindle Calibration documentation. Backlash In the case that you have less then .0005" of backlash, this step may be skipped. Backlash compensation will not completely compensate for all mechanical deficiencies. Be sure to start this wizard with each axis near the middle of travel.
  • Page 39 Units Calibration Before the machine is homed or any further setup is completed we must calculate our steps per/unit and calibrate the motors accordingly. Mach Motion has a plugin to streamline this process.  1. If you know the gear ratios, ball screw pitch, etc of your machine, use the Automatic Calibration shown here: ...
  • Page 40 1. Go to your service tab. Turn off soft limits, enable and ensure that your axis labels are flashing red and yellow. If not, please call MachMotion for assistance de-referencing your axes. ...
  • Page 41 2. Carefully jog X and Y to the negative hard limits, then jog it back into where you want your soft limits, and come in just a little more to where you want your machine zero on each axis. 3. Do the same with the Z axis. Carefully jog it all the way up to the hard limit. Jog down to your soft limit position, and then down a little more for your Z machine zero.
  • Page 42 5. Navigate to the Service Tab and click Home All. This sets the machine zero for all axes. If the Home All button is not active, please call MachMotion and we will help you de- reference all axes so that you can set your machine zero. ...

  • Page 56 Backlash in RapidPath There are two parameters that affect backlash compensation behavior, the amount and the rate. The backlash amount is a measurable quantity. The rate governs how quickly all the backlash is applied. This value is probably application specific based on the inertia involved in moving the axis and the speeds that are commonly employed during direction-changing motion (e.g.
  • Page 57 The backlash amount can be measured by moving a meaningful distance in one direction (to position X ), commanding motion in the opposite direction, then commanding the motor back to X , and measuring how far away from the actual position it is. The backlash rate is determined by how quickly you want compensation to be applied.
  • Page 58 The default backlash rate is zero, which means that backlash compensation will not be applied. Other Resources What is Backlash? (machinetoolhelp.com) Backlash Compensation (Dynomotion) Backlash Compensation (Robotic Systems) Backlash (Wikipedia)

All tool setters must have a unique name. After naming the tool setter, select it from the list. Settings for that tool setter will be shown on the right- hand side.
  • Page 60 This allows the customer to place the tool setter anywhere, using G53 Z 0 (Our home) as the reference point.  The only drawback to this method is the tool length offsets display as large numbers, not the actual tool length of the tool.  Optionally, select a go-to position to be associated with this tool setter.
  • Page 61 The Z position for the tool setter should be the machine coordinate for the surface the tool setter is sitting on. The Z position wizard can be used to determine this number if it is not known. If the tool setter is random position, not fixed, then this value will be managed later.
  • Page 62 2000 Series Commands, Function Buttons, and Dashboard Commands The system has many packaged functions called commands. These commands can perform a variety of actions, such as turning on the spindle or zeroing an axis. All commands have an action associated with them. Some actions also have a feedback associated with them, such as the 'Spindle Forward' command where the feedback is whether the spindle is currently running forward or not.
  • Page 63 To make a new User Command, press the 'Add' button. Each User Command should have a unique name. To edit a User Command, select its name from the list. A searchable list of actions for the command is available in the first box. This selects the general type of action to be done. The second box, labeled 'Options', is also part of the action and must be selected.
  • Page 64 One option for user commands are User Scripts. These are lua functions that will be executed as the command, to get the feedback state, or to forward to the target. This is a way to create completely custom functionality. They should always be done in the UserGUIModule.UserStartUpScript function.
  • Page 65 Upon saving and exiting configuration, these commands will be mapped to the function buttons. Function buttons on the 2000 series operator panels have an LED light in the corner. This light will reflect the feedback state of the mapped command. If a command is mapped to the press and to the release function of the button, the LED will reflect the feedback of the press command.
  • Page 66 Dashboard section. Dashboard The 2000 series controls have multiple places to customize the interface to meet the users needs.

  • Page 71 2000 Series - Tool Offsets Tools and Tool Offsets Defining tools depends on the tool setter/gage-block position type. The tool setter/gage-block position type options are fixed (e.g., a bed mill) and random (e.g., a knee mill). Manual Tool Setter / Gauge Block If the table height (work surface) of the machine is adjustable, the setter position is normally set to 0.0.
