#Mach3 software setup in a kl 1212 trial#
I understand mach3 comes with many of these 6040s and have downloaded the trial and watched videos to familiarize myself with it, but have found a lot of other options such as UCCNC that people have spoken highly of. I would likely purchase a USB model 6040 to meet my out of the box needs, but believe I would want to go to ethernet controlled as part of my upgrades in the future. I understand there are potential issues with the base electronic components and would plan on upgrading them to ensure higher accuracy/speed and no lost steps, but I would like something that works to some degree out of the box to get familiar before I begin tearing things open and upgrading.įrom my research the G540 is highly touted, as well as adding a smoothstepper.
My initial budget is around $1000-$1200 US for the base 4-axis 6040 CNC. I am going to try to be thorough and explain my thought process and concerns and hope you guys are able to help me out. My goal is to prototype some small items I have designed which I plan on using the 6040 to create from foam and then casting them in 7075 or 6061 Aluminum. Hi everybody, I am totally new to the CNC world and am hoping to lean on the vast knowledge of the users here to help me limit my initial mistakes and save some potential headaches. Has anyone found the magic combination to getting industrial MPG performance on MACH 3? I have tried the tuning function as well with no luck. The best is in Velocity mode and the machine will move some distance greater than a single increment, however, it still starts and stops crudely. I believe I have tried every combination of these and I cannot get the machine to perform "correctly".
I know there are setting for velocity mode, multi-step, single step, etc. On industrial CNCs the machine will move 1 increment / click of the MPG. However, if I rotate the MPG any faster than "SLOW", not all clicks translate into an increment of motion. I can set the distance per step, and if I slowly rotate the MPG, I will get a near perfect step with every click of the MPG.
Regardless of what computer, what MPG, what machine, what configuration, I have NEVER been able to get the MPG to behave as it does on any industrial control. For the MPG, I am using a FANUC MPG wired up using "A" and "B" etc.

My current setup is: Windows 10, Mach 3, ESS (Ethernet Smooth Stepper). I have MACH 3, been using it for a decade or so.
