What kind of machines??

[Rocketmachinist]

Look what we just got in today.

 

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

^^^ You should make Andrew install it.

[LA CAMmer]

Rocketmachinist,

 

How is the VM3? We may be looking at a VM2. Any major concerns we should be aware of? We were looking at adding the 40 tool changer and thru coolant (300 psi). Actually, thru spindle coolant would be new to us. Is the 1000 psi thru coolant something we should look at? What would warrant upgrading to the 1000 psi?

[Rocketmachinist]

We looked at the 1000psi kit also and decided not to. It required another 20amp 3phase circuit just for the high-pressure pump. So far the machine looks really nice, but also it's not wired up yet, but it looks like a solid machine.

[BenK]

I would look at the 1000psi. We have 400psi here and its not enough. If you use any carbide drills with thru coolant you will really benefit from the added pressure.(just one example)

[Mic6]

Looks sweet! Glad to see they did away with the Loc-Line mess. Keep us updated!

:reading with envy: I'm currently sitting on my duff... but last week I got a chance to cut a part in V8 level 1. That was fun!

I was reading this the other day, and figured i would make myself a list of cnc's.

Whats going on Chip no work. do we need to find you something local?

[rgollar]

Well after seeing this list of machines I can see everyone is in a different league than me lol. But I can at least say I own them free and clear which helps from a buisness standpoint.

(1) Seat of Mastercam had to throw this in the list as this is just as important as any machine I have in my shop.

[compressor sam]

Just back from Austria, i was inspecting the progress of our new machine, due to be installed 1st march 2012, a Wfl Millturn M120 5000, this will give us a capacity to turn 1200mm dia 5mtrs long

65 kw turning spindle and 60 kw milling spindle !!!

Well update on our VM3.

 

We got the machine setup and working.... For a little while. Every other day I get an error 234 Spindle encoder cable fault. Everyone thinks that it's a connector that came loose during shipping. The downside is we bought the machine through a dealer that works with the federal govt. So to get a technician out here we have to get that company (which is in Maryland) to call up a repair company (in Washington) to fly out a guy to fix the machine. But, if we would have bought the machine through our local dealer Selway, then it would be a 20 minute drive for the technician to fix our machine. If we would have known it was going to be this much hassle we would have bought locally and been done with it.

Yikes! We got ours thru Selway

[Rocketmachinist]

Yea, all 3 of our other machines were bought through Selway and we had no problems. But they ended up going with the cheapest bid, instead of the best bid.

[Mic6]

Any Luck?

[Rocketmachinist]

Yea, the guy came out yesterday and replaced the encoder and the encoder cable. I'm running another spindle break-in just to get some time on the machine and make sure it doesn't do it again. But the technician was messing around with the wire and the encoder and got the machine to error out when wiggling the connection. So we look in good shape.

Gear making is top secret, sorry

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I wonder if the feds were gonna let Bubba get to know (in the biblical sense) Gene and that's why he gave that dealer exclusive Government facilities special deals.
