Hello,

I would like to run long NC-programs on my milling machine MHP with CNC Hydrapath III. Need advice how to:
1. Set up the system to use drip-feed mode, e.g. to run the program from PC in real time.
2. Extend - as an alternative - the CNC memory up to 1 MB.

Can someone advise?

Vladimir

 

To drip feed to my MHP with Hydrapath III control, I have to set the job number to 99 and the pattern to whatever pattern I am using. When you hit the <AUTO> the drip feed begins, and you hit <START> and it runs. There are some setting to be made in your configuration page, but they should be set the same as when you are uploading whole programs. I have a problem with mine though, I must have a wire on the RS-232 cable wrong, or something, my control looses its place if the data sends too fast for the machine to keep up, or if it is sent too slow.
