Mach turn settup soft limits and tip numbers

[Green0]

I was hoping to find some information on how to enter a tip number into the tool offset menus in Mach turn.

I have basic left and right hand turning and threading tools, std profiling tools, grooving, parting, inside boring and threading tools.


I have a lathe without limit switches and I was hoping to settup some sort of limit system within the software so the machine wouldn't crash.

I tried backing off the X with tool number 1 zeroed and entering that value into the soft limit for X positive, and it didn't work- the machine passed that point when I tested it in manual jog...


Thanks for the help guys.

Hi GreenO, if you go to the Mach website there are some downloads available, look for Basic setup its all there.
