RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Maxnc and Gecko 201's

Mark:

It's not a matter of "steps per inch" but rather "steps per second." If you
suspect that you're in a situation where the computer can't keep up, you can
slow down your maximum pulse rate or your feed rate and see what happens.

Although I haven't played with either CNCPro or MaxNC, I doubt that it's the
processor. The 585 is equivalent to a Pentium, give or take a little, right?
If so, it should not be the bottleneck when running DOS programs.

|Morning all,
|Well I am still having a little bit of trouble. With Cncpro
|evaluation I have everything running spot on, but when I try and use
|Maxnc and get all the calibrations correct it will only process the
|first couple of lines and the program will lock up . Is it because
|there are too many steps per inch and the computer cannot cope?( it
|is only a 585 dx 100) It will fast jog and all ok! The only way I can
|get the demo programs to run after that is to reload the software and
|then it goes back to the default settings and will run all the
|programs but not at the correct calibrations! I have to change them
|again and then maxnc locks up again!. There are 20,000 steps per inch
|in both the x & y and an incredible 45,134 per inch in the z axis!
|Rmember it is ok with these in CNCPRO.Help anyone?
|Mark
