Turning

Post by plasmaboog »

So I have to instal you program but what I have to install the turn option I can't find, so whe have a profesional license but I got the idea that it is money that is trouw away.
I only find on you site the milling download.
So I think I better can't ask to development a EDM wire version in the future.

Hi,
The software does not have separate mill and lathe packages.
There is just one installer file and it can install mill, mill-turn and the lathe parts of MSM.
When you run the MSM installer, you can choose which parts to install as shown in the attached screen shot.

I have instal it like you have send it but I only get the mill part I need the lathe part for in school this also why we have buy the packet for to try and special for the toolchanger on recomendation of a collega in Nederlands that use it, you show the lathe screen in the video but I like to get that screens.
And it is not for one school that I am busy at the moment I don't buy the soft where the school are doing that.
so like it know the situation is I don't have notting on the packet.
So and in that case I don't gone ask you what it gone cost to make a screen for a EDM wire machine that I have develoment for in the technical schools.

If you have installed the full MSM package, then you already have both the mill and lathe support installed on the PC.
You can start mach in either mill or lathe mode. Which mode mach runs is determined by the profile that you start mach with, and what type of screen set (.set or .lset) that the profile tells mach to load.
To see the MSM lathe screens, you have to start mach with a lathe screen profile; then have the profile load the MSM lathe screens.
Detailed descriptions of how this is done are in the MSM lathe manual, which is installed in
c:\mach3\Documentation\MachStdMIll\

The manual can also be independently downloaded from
http://www.calypsoventures.com/download ... lease.html
scroll down and click the button for the Lathe user manual.

The easiest way is to start with a working Mach lathe profile.
Clone the profile to create a ne wMSM lathe profile.
Start mach with the MSM lathe profile.
Use view load screens in the mach menus to load MachStdMillLathe.lset
Then use the MSM screen load button on the settings common page to select between lathe and mill-turn mode and to pick the 10x7 or 12x9 resolution screens.

MSM does currently not have special screens for EDM machines and there are not currently plans to add EDM support.
