Onefinity Masso G3 CNC NEW warmup routine

I installed a manual oiler and tubing on my Onefinity CNC. I wrote a simple g code program which moves all axes of my CNC router through full travel in order to distribute oil throughout linear motion components. It incorporates messages that stop the program to allow for the addition of oil, and uses Cycle Start commands to resume the program.

Great video are you warming up the spindle at the same time ? Cheers Bill

Tnx. I have two other warmup routines, one spindle warm up only, and the other is as shown in the video that also has the spindle warmup running at the same time. As you can imagine there are many opinions as to whether warmup routines of any kind are needed for a setup like mine, but I feel it can't hurt.

Are you using the masso controler? I was wondering if your spindle has a pnp sensor to verify the tool is chucked and how you hooked it up?

I am using a Masso G3 controller and Jianken ATC spindle, which ships PNP standard. Cables 11 and 22 are 3 wire - brown=10-30VDC, blue=0VDC, black +VDC to Masso input. I am using linear tool change type 2 logic. I believe I have 11 assigned Tool change Input 2, and 22 assigned as Tool changer Input 1 (If my memory is wrong then just reverse 11 and 22).

@@tmtoronto3741 I have the same Jianken spindle. I just finished getting the motors and spindle hooked where where the machine will run. I haven't started messing with the tool changer yet, I'm a little confused on how it all works coming from Mach3 where you could write a scripted for what you want it to do and how to utilize sensors etc. what do you mean by using " I am using linear tool change type 2 logic" can you write you own logic with this controller or is there pre programed logic? Thanks for the info!

@@bransonlariscy4660 no, Masso does not have an option for users to write their own macros, scripts, etc. - it is a fairly closed system, which I suppose has advantages and disadvantages. The logic I am referring to is described in their online manual. They are constantly updating and improving their software, and recently introduced options for a few new tool change types. The logic is set by Masso, and controls things like clamp/unclamp, dust shoe/tool tray up and down, etc - basically different inputs and outputs controlling actions of different components based on a few use cases and machine setups and sensors. This is my first CNC, and I came to this hobby a few years ago with no past experience, so have nothing to compare the controller to. I found the tool change setup straightforward, and for my build I found a tool change logic that did what I needed it to do. There are a few options I would like to see added - and if you do as well Masso does respond to user feedback and feature requests.
