can someone please share a file

[Travis B]

What I would like to see is a lathe file with a bar pull with the sub-spindle , then part off , and then transfer sub-spindle home to complete 2nd operation. I did a search on this topic and the best reply was from Glenn Stephens saying he found it best to set up your post to handle most of it. The post I have was supplied by Jimmy Wakeford and seems to do this with a normal slug transfer. I am new to Mastercam Lathe and any help will be appreciated.

Welcome TBrucke.

 

Please say what your machine and control are so the right forum dudes can weight in.

 

Jimmy's so on top of things, fat chance anyone else has to help you before he does.

Welcome TBrucke

Yes what is the machine and control and is the sub "B" axis?

I have an Integrex 200IISY w/ Fusion 640. Jimmy says I need to get to know you guys and post any questions here too.

[Harryman]

Howdy Travis. Sorry for slow response, had to keep nose to grindstone today.

 

I don't have a sub-spindle so I can't help with that.

 

Search for Rookie1 send him an email, and see if he has a sample.

 

 

Is your post doing everything you need?

[Travis B]

Thanks Harry. Yes the post handles every thing I've thrown at it. I'm just not sure how to go about setting up the bar pull and cut off. I've figured out how to do a slug transfer between chucks with the help of the tutorials. The post uses #500, that you set manually durring set up, for the pick off location and work shift. If anybody has this type of file for any lathe, it would be a big help to me.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

I have a few customers with intergrex's, but Tbrucke is the first with a sub spindle. I can make the post do it if I know what its supposed to look like.

 

Tbrucke Did Katie email the setup sheet thing yet? Let Dave T (forum moderator) know what you think about it.

[Travis B]

Jimmy, I'll send you some code I wrote manually in the morning. I left work with out checking my mail, so I dont know if Katie did. You should recieve our check for maintenace tomorrow.

[Don S at Barefoot CNC South]

Jimmy,

I think the code is very similar to a Eurotech lathe, I wrote a post for it to do just what is wanting I will check this weekend if i find it i will post the code. Welcome Tbruke

We have a Takisawa TM20 lathe w/Fanuc OT-B

3axis 2 spindle single turret

We machine from bar stock

We machine the front side then synchronous both spindles clamp in a machined dia with the sub-spindle jaws, pull the bar then part it off

Send the sub-spindle home then do the 2nd side to complete the part

 

If this is what you want I can send you one of the MC files.

 

Regarding the post, the whole part off sequence has been mod. By Glenn Stephens

 

All I need is answer these questions

start dia (part-off)

end dia (part-off

Length of the part

Start RPM

The post takes care the rest.

I believe this is what Glenn means when he said

"Set up your post to handle most of it"

 

E-mail me if you think I can help you on any way.

 

[Katie Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

TBrucke,

 

I sent the PO for the setup sheet off yesterday, just waiting to hear back from those guys. They may even contact you first....I did send you another email regarding payment did you get that one?

[colombiano]

HI TRAVIS I work with a Lathe with two spindles

main spindle is C and subspindle is B

Usually what I do is change the - to + for subspindle after I post the program is another option in mastercam for a Subspidle you go to toolpaths,nextmenu, misc osp and then you can use the stock xfer. I hope this can help you

let me know if you have another question

[Travis B]

Sorry I havent responded today its been pretty wild here. Katie, I did get your email. CR thats exactly what I do, but with the Integrex I have to possition the cut off over the part before the sub-spindle move. I'll get With Jimmy next week and let him fix me up. He has been nothing but first class with us.(and Katie too).

[CR]

Travis,

What Colombiano said is Ok but why to deal with the sign after posting

(Colombiano arriba Cali, Cali es la berraquera)

 

The post should take care the sign, G02& G03 All I need to do is the stock transfer

I tried different ways doing the transfer but the simple one for me is the following parameters

 

 

set level optiones

Stock position (type the OAL of the part)

Turn on the Construction Origin & Too origin with a value of Zero

All the rest of the values should be zero, all of them

Select the geometry to be trasfer

 

It transfer the back face of the part to the right side of the Z0

 

Hope it make sense

[CR]

sorry stock position should be a minus value

(- OAL)over all length

like I said the post take care the Z+, G02 to G03, G03 to G02 and the K+

[colombiano]

(las mujeres de cali mamasitas..)

yes. I forgot about G02 AND G03 you're right CR

[Harryman]

Did someone say Setup Sheet?

 

The In-House Setup Sheet for Mill/Turn has been tested pretty well and works sweet for Integrex, though not by me for sub-spindle.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Harry Travis just got the inhouse setup sheet so he'll be checkin it out next week.
