CNCRT61: CNC Automation with Mike Gencarelli
CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 61


IN this episode we talk with my friend Mike Gencarelli about CNC
automation. Mike Gencarelli is an experienced tool maker,
automation expert, software developer and has probably one of the
most interesting garage workshops.

Gencarelli writes about his adventures on his website
https://mygarageshop.com/ where he displays his projects and talks
about his machine shop which includes everything from CNC Router
Table, Plasma cutter to milling machine.

Mike has built quite a wide variety of automated machines in his
past. His work on an automated parachute harness sewing machine got
him noticed Later he began work on a plasma table with a dual
chamber water table and a removable 4th axis.

Mike Gencarelli decided that he wanted to automate some common CNC
options to make them work better with Mach3. He developed software
which allowed him to use multiple wifi relays to turn his equipment
off and on. He hooked up his duct collection system, lights and
water pumps to his SmartScreens Interface for Mach3 . SmartSreens
for Mach3 integrates the control of simple to add Expansion Relays
and Smart Wi-Fi Devices which can be controlled by SmartScreens
through Mach3 via buttons on the screen, and MCodes in the
GCode.
