Hydratight Setup

New System Setup

Settings

For new setups, start with the latest ini located here: M:\Production\Customer Backups\Hydratight_OEM\_Production Information\Master Control Files\Mach4 V2.0

Then run the standard Mach4 MachMotion Installer over the old ini.  

For the spindle drive, use X15-02-25 and follow this document: https://support.machmotion.com/books/mm-production/page/x15-02-25-yaskawa-analog-and-digital-control-%28velocity-and-position%29 .  

 

Drive Setup

Next you will have to change the 1Pn50A parameter in the X,Y,Z drives. If you open the black door on the front of each drive you will see 4 buttons.   Machmotion will help if needed. Just ask

FIGURE 4 Will help you set this parameter.   Set Pn50A to 8021

Follow these steps to update an existing machines wiring:

  1. Turn off Power Supply and open the cabinet.

      9. Finally, follow the drive setup as shown above.  

       

       

       

      Software Changes

      To enable this on an existing machine, follow the procedure below.  

       

      Set up enable signals as shown.

      What is actually going on here is Y3 is wired to the Brake so Mach4 can control it separately from the drive. Port 14 output 1 or what is normally drive enable is ONLY used for Spindle Enable.

       

      Unmap coolant On and disable it.

       

      Set up an Aux button as shown

       

      Setup Drive Enable as shown under Machine->Enable.
