Hello All!!!!!! need some help

[Todd Suhr]

so i am using rdworks software. I am trying to use my rotary. i pug the motor into the y driver. i then read the settings and turn on rotary and write it back to the machine. i can use the movement keys on the machine to roll the rotary. i even home the machine then rotate the tube. when i start a file it will turn to the home position and start to laser but only in a straight line it never turns! it doesn't matter what numbers i enter in to circle pulse or diameter it still doesn't rotate. rd works version is 8.01.48 and i have tried the new version as well same result. controller is 6445g.

Thanks for any help!!!

Todd

I dont use the versions of RDWORKs you are running - so my screens may be different.
When you say you turned on the rotary do you mean you have enabled the rotary in the screen shot I am showing (although my screen shot shows "not enabled'"

Review this thread - seems there is firmware update that you may need to resolve your problem - see the last post and open the first link in that post and read it all

yes i am enabling rotary function. my buddy has the same machine bought 1 month apart from each other and his works. it just won't spine when laser is on to burn but will rotate to home position to start.

If you compare your Vendor files [with your friends] with Notepad++ [details in the FAQ section] it should be pretty easy to find the difference.
