Josh, the only thing that my manual says is that it is "undefined." This must be phantom G-code that has a mind of its own.

Has you machine been doing something odd because of it?

It is not a phantom code...

On the newer controllers the G07F# is a "smoothing" function. A G07F0 pretty much turns off the "smoothing". Parameters greater than zero set the "degree of smoothing" taking place. It appears that some things need "smoothing" while others don't.

It would be best if someone from Thermwood were to explain when and how to use it.

Thanks Brad, I was hoping to hear from TWD too - my router obviously does not speak "smoothing"....
John - I just get the error as described above and the router stops moving, but not an Estop. Odd, but not very problematic other than the inconvenience of having to run out and fix it when I forget to take it out....If there was a way to avoid it putting the code there in the first place (via desktop control nesting) that would be pretty "smooth"...

Josh,

If you are using Control Nesting (CN) version 5.54 or better...

On your Thermwood Desktop Edition (TDE) computer in the office-

Close the TDE.
Find the machine.ini file located in the c:\Rolling Nest\ directory.
Open it with NOTEPAD.EXE (or another ASCII editor).
Find the [Settings] section.
Add a new parameter in that "THM_Version_Override" and set it to the same version as your controller's THM software.

!! Make sure that you do not modify anything else !!

Save the changes and restart TDE. Control Nesting in the office will now output code appropriate for your machine's THM version.

Example...

[Settings]
THM_Version_Override=6.0.1.3
:

Hope this helps.

Smoothing feature G Code is Present on THM V6.2.0.5+. The F value is an integer ranging from 0 to 100. The Smoothing feature will default to 50 (G07F50) upon control startup. In order to turn OFF the feature, you can write an F value of 0.

Hi
Will This smoothing feature smooth out the problem we have on this photo
Thanks Stephen

Stephen,

It may, you could start with a value of 30. Zero is OFF, 50 is default and typically highest recommended value. It will likely take a few test cuts on your part to see how the code will react specifically with the mechanics of your machine.

Hi Ryan
How will we find out if we are running THM V6.2.0.5+.

Thanks Stephen

Hi Ryan
we have just had a look and we are running THM 6.1.1.0 , if so how would we upgrade to THM V6.2.0.5+. to use this feature.

Thanks Stephen

You can contact our upgrade retrofit services by emailing:

service@thermwood.com
or
retrofits@thermwood.com

They will need to know the machine # (found on serial tag) to enable them to research what all will be necessary for the upgrade.
