PriceCNC THC anti-dive

Hi masso

I'm using a price CNC THC and it has a anti-dive function that uses a output signal. Would it be possible to tag a output to the m666 code? What is needed is a output to go active with the M666 and off with the M667

Got it m62 and m63 now this old dog will have to work on some more new tricks.

Thanks again I'm sure I'll be back with more questions

Hi @rcrclr

For a while now we have been trying to answer the question of whether the Price AVHC10 THC works properly with Masso.
It seems that people have been unable to getting it going and I was wondering if you are using yours and if all works ok for you.

Cheers
Peter

I'm very sorry I've been away from the masso forum for a long time. And have not been getting the emails. If anyone is interested I've been using it for more than a year now. I wired it like a proma THC 150 without the resistors. Tried it with them but it didn't work. The problem i was having is a hesitation at the m666 and m667 code. I have a very robust machine and I can change direction of movement without slowing down. So I run with the THC on all the time. I see there's a fix for that so we'll see if it works. I run this thing probably 10 hours a week and it rarely lets me down. Again I'm sorry for letting my people in the masso world down for the very late response

Hi rcrclr

Thanks for getting back. It's great to know that you have it working so well.
In the AVHC10 Manual it shows the Black wire of the Up Down and Arc ok connected to Ground and the coloured wire of the pair connected to the controller input.
In your wiring setup do you connect the Black wire to the MASSO +ve of the power supply and the coloured wire to the MASSO input or do you connect the coloured wire to the MASSO +ve and the Black wire to the MASSO input?

DO you use a current limiting resistor between the +ve of the power supply and the AVHC10 to limit fault current and protect the Price in case an output accidentally comes in contact with ground?

The hesitation when the THC was turned on and off was fixed in version 3.47 if memory serves correctly. I see you are using M62 & M63 for the Antidive.
Just be aware that these Gcodes were removed on the G2 and their function moved to G64 & G65 so you may need to alter your Post processor.

If you have a G3 the M62 & M63 still remain and may work for you even better as they can not turn on and off without hesitation or you can change them to M64 & M65 which will behave as they did previously.
Note: when an M62 & M63 is issues it does not take affect until a move is made.

Hope my rambling makes sense

Cheers Peter
