Thru Spinle Coolant

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Hey all,

 

I have been looking over previous posts about adding this to my post and such, but have had little success.

 

I get the greyed out boxes (except for FLOOD) in the coolant window, and I don't know how to activate them (again, looked at other posts with little gained).

 

My post is an update from time gone by (maybe even updated from V8....) I am not sure. I just know it's not super current. So where can I start with this?

 

This is what my coolant section looks like, if it's any help.

Randy,

 

Turn flood coolant off then turn thru spindle coolant on. That is what I have to do.

 

Hope that helps,

I have it setup in misc values so I can still have flood on at the same time, if you are trying to have both. if not just turn off flood

[?Mark]

Go to machine definition manager, general machine parameters, coolant commands.

Double "" disables a field...

Got it. So simple as to turn the other off. Who knew? Thanks for that Marting.

 

McamNut, how do you set that up in the misc values? I would on occasion like to have both, or maybe my 'mist' (my shower coolant) at the same time...?

 

Thanks for the other thoughts guys!

[Mcam Nut]

Yeah Randy, I just did this a few weeks ago to my post I will email you all the information, in a few minutes

[Mcam Nut]

I e-mailed the information.

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Thanks! =] I will have a look at it here shortly. It will be much useful I am sure.

Shawn,

Can you e-mail me that info also, I also was wondering how to do that?

 

Thanks

[Mcam Nut]

ok, you got mail. is there a way I can post a text file so people can download it. I guess the ftp is the only way?

[Mcam Nut]

I for some reason cant upload it to the ftp, so if anyone wants it ill just email it.

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Add this to this (or similar) to your post misc. integers section;

This is the Misc Values that I added to my post after the tool length offset line. Works great for me there (main coolant is on the G43 line for me and this appears after).

Thanks Shawn,

I will add it a little later to my post and let you know how it went.

[Mcam Nut]

Here is what I am using

 

 

This is setup for normal thru coolant, and high pressure thru coolant. if you do not want

High pressure coolant remove sm08_1 and if mi4$=one. if you wanted to keep air blast, or

coolant mist you may need to add a sm08_3 and sm08_4. I dont have the option so I just replaced them.
