Mill stop and start features

[jcoldon]

I have some Masso questions for the mill screen users ..



Is there an INPUT that can be used to stop x y z motion and the spindle output .



So if i do a cycle start send a G code or M code command to trigger the spindle .

Then until that INPUT is triggered x y z motion will not happen .



The reason i ask im trying to turn on spindle not have x y z motion.. Until it recives an INPUT .

and if this INPUT is lost all motion and spindle will stop ..

And be able to restart motion and spindle. using run from line of G code feature

Hi jcoldon

There is an input that may do what you want.
The Door Sensor Input will stop the X,Y & Z axis as well as the spindle when the input goes high.

If you Enable Cycle Start on door close under General Settings on the F1 screen, the axis and spindle will continue from where they left off when the input goes low.


The only issue you might have with it is that you will not be able to do anything while the Door sensor input is high. You will need to start the program and then set the input high.

After that you can stop and start using the Door Sensor input.


?Hope this is what you are looking for.
