Starturn 5 and Lathecam.
Hi,

I have a starturn 5 with an LB3 controller. I am trying to get Lathecam to accept the command in the LCD file, for the type of undercut it performs at the end of the thread. I am getting around the problem at the mment by editing out the undercuting lines in the code, which is not very convient, or productive.
As I understand it, the manual says, insert options as required. I have opened the LCD file in Notepad, included the line Thread=0 which is to perform no undercut. In simulationit does an undercut, and in cutting, with no partig tool listed, states machine overtravel.
I hope someone can shed some light on this problem, its probably something I'm not doing, as is mostly the case.

Kind regards,

Rob.

Strange - I've looked at the manuals:

And Thread Undercut=0 should work - are you changing the lcd.ini file with the software running ?
Always edit an ini file with the software closed otherwise it may just re-write its settings back to the file when the software closes and undo any changes you have made.
Also look out for duplicated entries.
