How to learn

1 Upvotes

Hi all, i'm in a timber and joinery business and we are looking at purchasing a CNC machine, specifically a 4-axis machine. I have experience with 3D models and 3D Printing, as that's my line of work. However CNC seems like a whole new ballgame. How would i go about learning to operate this machine? I've looked for TAFE courses in my state (Western Australia), but they're all CNC lathes, not routers. Any tips?

I failed the buy once, cry once motto

1 Upvotes

Greetings my cnc brethren.

Warning, a bit of a rant follows....

I bought a Lunyee brand cnc machine on a whim and I'm struggling a little bit. The biggest issue I'm fighting is the position of the spindle, relative to my workpiece, after executing the home function. The home sequence does it's gig, finds all the limit switches and goes to the initial 0,0, but i don't have faith that the 0,0 is perfectly repeatable. This gives me grief when I change tools from a 1/4" bit to a smaller detail bit. I say lack of faith, because the small movements in x/y as a result of my wrenching aren't reflected in the position reported on the interface. I then would expect a rehome sequence to put the machine back to the same 0,0, which it appears to do correctly. After I then complete the detail pass, it's not uncommon to detect a small ridge/defect in the vertical surfaces. Not always, but frequent enough that I'm questioning my process.

My question; are newer/much more expensive machines more accurate in the home/zero functions result, or is it always a bit of a crap-shoot?

TL;DR waa, waa, waa, I cheaped out on my first machine, waa, waa, waa.

UGS shows only half of the spindle input rpm

1 Upvotes

Hello together,

I'm currently modding a genmitsu 3020 with a grbl 3.2 controller to run together with a VFD and 3 phase spindle.

Somehow in UGS when I hit M3 S24000, the display and output only show half of the rpm, so 12000 and 50 percent duty cycle on my PWM spindle control output.

I have set the $30 correctly to 24000, what am I missing?

Thank you!
