MIKRON HSM 700

[Tim Holston]

We just got a Mikron HSM 700 with an ATEK HS PLUS control from one of our plants that closed. A 1997 I think and hear the controller is not the normal for the machine. I was wondering if any body out there was programming one on Mastercam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are running a Mikron VCP600 w/ 42,000 rpm spindle. Our machine has the Heidenhain TNC 430 controller. I believe your ATEK controller uses Heidenhain "style" code. Mastercam is working great for us. We cut graphite electrodes and hardened tool steel mostly. The Mikrons are terrific machines and the HSM700 is/was their top-of-the-line product. 1g acceleration! This machine is a fast mover and will not tolerate programming errors. Verify, Verify, Verify!

 

Good Luck

Hi Keith I was at your shop when PCI was getting a machine. You cut some hardened parts for us. I was looking to learn what it needed from the post. Mikron does not support the controller so I was not able to get a sample program. It is good talking with you again, how’s things going at your shop great I’ll bet.
