MachPro Mill and Router Setup Manual

Introduction

Some of the following configuration steps are integrated with the MachPro software. The M31 Motion Control Setup Manual includes the information you need for the M31. Compatible motion controllers should complete the MachPro Compatible Motion Controller Configuration Settings

Please refer to the Motion Controllers documentation and the appropriate MachPro Motion Controller Integration Documentation for the following steps:

Use a shielded network cable to connect the motion controller and the MachPro computer
Connect the cables between the motion controller and the drives
MachPro Startup and license install
Axis setup
Axis calibration
Mapping input signals (see default mapped inputs and outputs table below)
Homing setup
Homing slave axis - if present
Troubleshooting
Soft Limits setup
Mapping output signals
Using outputs
Spindle Setup

Default Mill and Router I/O mappings

Default inputs

The first row in both the inputs and outputs lists the M31 as the device. Your motion controller should be in the drop-down list under Device.

Spindle Setup

See the M31 or Compatible Spindle Setup documentation

Spindle Calibration

This is primarily for mills where the speeds and feeds are precise, and directly affect the finish and accuracy of the final part. ~~Spindle speeds on routers are usually not as precise.~~
