Mach3 stops at n0040

Post by Dennis »

Went out to the shop today, first time in about 6 months and went to fire up the table.. So table homes, moves with key board keys , but when I go to run any Mach file it stops at line 4 - N0040 g53 g90 g40. It does not matter what tap file i try use same thing..I tried lots of different know good files. Anyone have any ideas...

g53: Takes absolute coordinates (X,Y,Z,A,B,C) with reference to machine zero rather than program zero. Can be helpful for tool changes. Nonmodal and absolute only. Subsequent blocks are interpreted as "back to G54" even if it is not explicitly programmed.

g90:Positioning defined with reference to part zero.
Milling: Always as above.
Turning: Sometimes as above (Fanuc group type B and similarly designed), but on most lathes (Fanuc group type A and similarly designed), G90/G91 are not used for absolute/incremental modes. Instead, U and W are the incremental addresses and X and Z are the absolute addresses. On these lathes, G90 is instead a fixed cycle address for roughing.

g40:Cancels G41 or G42. (which is tool comp left and right)

Did you accidentally setup on a mill profile rather than a plasma profile?

Im on the prowl for a good used Hypertherm Plasma with hand torch.
PM me with details
