Screw Mapping Mach 4 (after build 2107, 2014-11-17) implements symmetric, bidirectional mapping (i.e. one map that applies to both directions of travel). Builds after 4780 (2021-11-29) implement asymmetric bidirectional screw mapping (separate maps for positi...

400W TECOs Because 400W cables and the original 400W motors without a gearbox are no longer available, use the following process to upgrade a 400W system.  If the motor, encoder cable, or power cable fails, you always have to replace all 3. For example, if a...

Introduction RapidPath is MachMotion's EtherCAT motion controller solution. It has integrations for a range of Yaskawa EtherCAT servo drives, VFDs, the Titanio EverCNC stepper drive, and a subset of the Beckhoff I/O devices. It can be licensed for up to 6...

Loading a MasterCAM Post processor Please download the post from our tech-exchange as a (.mcam-content) file. This file can be opened with a zip utility or can be just dragged and dropped into the graphic area of Mastercam 2021 or later and the files will be ...

Lube systems deliver lube to the machine on a schedule. The parameters configure what that schedule is and how the lube is delivered. Accessing the Lube System Parameters 1. Go to the Service -> Maintenance page. 2. Click on the Interface Config button. ...

  If you have a Yaskawa GA500 VFD with the high frequency unlock firmware it will have a "-134" on the end of the part number. To connect to these using drive wizard you will need to install this addition to the drive wizard software,   First Open drive ...

Purpose This document outlines the expected behavior of the control while Single Block is on. General Behavior Single block will always stop at the end of an executable block and highlight the next executable block, waiting for a Cycle Start before contin...

Overview On Yaskawa VFDs, some parameters are scaled differently based on their drive model number. We set the VFD capacity in Mach under the V1000 parameters based on the model number. Set the drive capacity in MachMotion parameter as show below. The part of...

Thank you for your interest in upgrading with MachMotion! Unfortunately, we are unable to service requests for certain types of new controls. See below for our recommendations on who to go to for service. Machine Type Company Recommendation Cust...

Definition When replacement parts are no longer available for a product, we officially call it the end of life (EOL). This happens because companies are bought out and stop selling a product, companies shut down, circuit board chips are no longer available, o...

VFD Control Type There are 3 different ways a Hitachi VFD may be connected to MachMotion control: Ethercat, TCP Modbus, or Hardwired. Use the following procedure to determine which method your VFD uses. Then in each section of the manual go to that contro...

Overview The gang spindle parameters allow multiple spindles to be locked together in their run state and commanded RPM, compiling all of their feedback into a single unit. In this way, one speed can be set that will be distributed to all spindles in the grou...

Hitachi WJ200 Alarm Codes: Programming To be able to program the Hitachi VFD you will either need to change the parameters physically on the VFD or with the Hitachi ProDrive Next software.  Hitachi Software Downloads - Software requirements: M...

This is duplicate documentation from the Hitachi P1 VFD installation manual. Please make all future updates to that documentation. To set up the Hitachi VFD to be commanded by EtherCAT you will need to modify 2 parameters: Parameter Description D...

This document describes how to copy a Mach4 folder from one machine to another machine. This is useful when you are powering up a similar machine to one you've done previously. It is also used for installing a replacement control.  Prerequisites: Mach4/MachMo...

The EverCNC drive will try to detect values for motor resistance and inductance when the drive starts up (or when the Nominal_Current parameter changes). This autodetection has limitations, so under some circumstances, it may calculate bad values. You may nee...
