Hydraulic Pipe Bender Retrofit - BLM C88

Category: Show Your Stuff

There is endless business to be had, retrofitting CNC tube benders and there are some very sophisticated ones. BLM, like other manufacturers, don't want to support older machines because they want people to buy new.
The "recapture" feature that you demonstrate is only one of many, many tricks that a CNC bender needs to be able to do.

These machines are my design/manufacture:
110mm Diameter...but two at the same time.  This was the engine cradle for the Chrysler 300M. Bending axis is 100HP closed-loop Vector Drive
150mm with autoload  Note: Every movement is a servo axis and coordinated
76mm 100% electric  I was the pioneer of 100% electric and I was awarded the patent. Now BLM and everyone else makes all-electric benders 
21 axis  Fuel-injector lines for Ford and Siemens. The 8 rotating axes on the turret are WiFi controlled (continuous rotating turret.

I am now developing a self-install retrofit package which will be very low-cost....too many dead machines out there that are in fantastic mechanical condition.

the quickest solution I can come up with is to use a handler script that monitors the spinbutton in the custom gladevcp panel and saves the current value to a file if it changes. On opening the gui the script will set the spinbutton value to the value read from that file:

to try save this as 'gladevcp-handler.py' to the 'python' folder in your config:
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import hal
import os

parameter_file = 'gladepanel_parameter.txt'

class HandlerClass:


    def on_value_changed(self,hal_spinbutton1,data=None):
        changed_value = hal_spinbutton1.get_value()
        print(':gladevcp-handler: gladevcp.hal_spinbutton1 value has changed to ', changed_value)
        f = open(parameter_file, 'w')
        f.write(str(changed_value))
        f.close()

    def __init__(self, halcomp,builder,useropts):
        self.halcomp = halcomp
        self.hal_spinbutton1 = builder.get_object("hal_spinbutton1") # builder.get_object(ID of the targeted glade object)
        self.halcomp.newpin("number", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN)
        print(':gladevcp-handler: Initialized')
        print(':gladevcp-handler: gladevcp.hal_spinbutton1 value is ', self.hal_spinbutton1.get_value())
        if os.path.isfile(parameter_file):
            with open(parameter_file) as f:
                line = f.readline()
                line_parsed = list(line.strip().split('\t'))
                value = float(line_parsed[0])
                print(':gladevcp-handler: Setting gladevcp.hal_spinbutton1 value to ', value)
                self.hal_spinbutton1.set_value(value)


def get_handlers(halcomp,builder,useropts):
    return [HandlerClass(halcomp,builder,useropts)]

 then change this line in the [DISPLAY] section of your ini file from:
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = halcmd loadusr -Wn testpanel gladevcp -c testpanel -H ./gladevcp/testpanel.hal -x {XID} ./gladevcp/testpanel.ui

to this (this will automatically load the handler file when the custom panel is loaded):
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= halcmd loadusr -Wn testpanel gladevcp -c testpanel -u python/gladevcp-handler.py -H ./gladevcp/testpanel.hal -x {XID} ./gladevcp/testpanel.ui

To get this to work with the 'testpanel.ui' I posted earlier you need to open the panel in glade and
1. make sure the 'ID' of the spinbutton to be monitored is 'hal_spinbutton1'

 

2. add the handler to the spinbutton by opening the 'Signals' tab and writing 'on_value_changed' in the 'Handler' column of the 'value-changed' line. With this a value change in the spinbutton widget will call the on_value_changed function in the handler script.

Hello,
you need to sort out latency issues.
How is your latency-histogram looking?

Manipulating Axis GUI

Category: HAL

I have been testing a proof of concept external push-button interface board. I have pretty much everything working at this point.

My understanding is that the halui functions are independent from the axis functions, I picture them as a near duplicate parallel set.

For the most part when interacting with my external control board there is no need to look at the Axis GUI, however because the settings can and almost always are out of sync, example the jog increment could be 0.001" in Axis, and 1.000" in halui. If I'm not paying attention and inadvertently glance at the Axis setting and then proceed to hit the jog button on my panel (even though my external panel shows the increment is 1.000"), not great!

Is there some way in HAL to update the values displayed in the Axis GUI based on the halui settings?

Can we make this pin persistent?

Erros: Unexpected realtime delay + 7i96s error finishing read

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Hi folks,

I´ve recently installed Linuxcnc 2.9.3 to run a BF20 milling machine equipped with a Mesa 7i96s.

PC-Mesa card communication is ok, tested both with ping and mesaflash tool.

I have configured the parameters in PCConf wizard with the appropriate IP (10.10.10.10), but when I start Linuxcnc I get these two errors....I am completely stuck:

Ich habe mich mal eingelesen….
..f#<_hal[plasmac.cut-feed-rate> Wird in der hal geholt pins
plasmac cut-feed-rate Wenn ich in der hal unter plasmac ein neuen pin erzeuge und die
Mat-Nummer zuweise dann könnte ich über ..m190 p#<_hal[plasmac.mat-nummer> theoretisch den M 190 Pn setzen?

Ok…
Verstehe ich das richtig ich habe also nur zwei Optionen im Sheetcam einsetzen oder den G-Code im Qplasmac zu änder ?

Okay...

Do I understand that correctly, so I only have two options to use in the sheetcam or to change the G-code in Qplasmac?
