Big Kaiser - Precision Boring heads 8" long, 3.5" diameter don't like 12K either. Pull stud has a hard time holding on.......

Operator loads the vise in one of the pinned locations, types in the number and hits cycle start.

We have subplates and charts that map out every location with a number. In the past we've typed in the values from the chart. Say X-12, Y-10, Z-21.1319. Now you can just type the vise location number. MasterCam outputs the incremental shifts from top of vise (Top WCS in MCX) to get to your toolplane. Her'es what I got. The G65 calls are W=Work offset (G10 offset, 1=54), XYZ are incremental to toolplane. % O0123 (T) (POST REV 1.1) (DURACENTER 5 - VMC) (MCX FILE - T) (DATE - MAR-23-2015) (TIME - 7:57 AM) (USER ID - ***) (OPERATIONS - 50/60/70) #510=1(OPTIONAL N SEQ START) IF[#510EQ1]GOTO3000 M0 (USING OPTIONAL N SEQ START) M0 (YOU ARE STARTING PART WAY THROUGH) N3000 (*** TOOL LIST ***) (T1 - 0.125 CHAMFER MILL - D0.1250) (*** OVERWRITE MACRO ADJUSTMENTS ***) G90 G52 X0.

I'll look into that tomorrow. That sounds doable. Instead of #510=1. #515=0. #516=0. #517=1. M98P9999 It would be G65P9999W1.X0.Y0.Z1. And then just reference the local variables once inside P9999.

I'm pretty happy with how I have it now. If I could put them on one line it would be nice. Just thought I would ask the old timers.... I'll post up mys code structure Monday. Josh-

Just to keep things clean. I'm passing through the work offset and toolplane coordinates to a sub program and wanted it on one line if possible. It would lessen the chance someone edited the wrong line. Josh-

Thanks Ron.

This is eMastercam. Thread hijacking is expected....

Guys, Is there anyway to write multiple variables on one line? Like: #510=1 #515=0 #516=0 #517=1 I can't find a way and my macro b book doesn't say anywhere that I can find. Thanks, Josh-

Thanks Bob.

Who sells Okuma in Washington State?

Don't get me wrong. I've made some badass parts on our Mori's. We have 9 Mori's in our facility and 9 more at another facility. Lots of old SL's at the other facility.... After seeing all the new machines switching to that silly mazak inspired "Celos" control and the cost saving measure on our new NH I'm looking hard at other brands. It's too bad because Ellison is our best dealer. Josh-

Hey Guys, I'm looking to connect multiple processes and need to find a supplier. Basically powered rollers, guides, sensors and such. I want to feed a 3"x15" and 6"x15" bar through a washdown, air blow off, cnc scribe, double sided deburring machine and then into a packaging area. All the processes are something I have planned. Connecting them is what I either need to design and source parts or just pay someone for a turnkey. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Josh-

Thanks guys. This looks to be close to the NLX http://www.okuma.com/lb2000-ex-ii I'll find out if we cut a p.o. tomorrow and if not I'll post the specs and see what you guys think is a good comparable. Josh-

Single turret lathe with sub

I was shocked. I knew something was not right but two plastic discs with some grease? I was blown away. We have a quote for a NLX2500. What other machines are in that price range?

Hey Guys, We bought our third NH4000DCG about 6 months ago. The machine has had a few more problems then we'd expect to see. The one big issue I noticed was the pallet was 4 times harder to spin in the load station. I called a tech in and after some convincing he took apart the bearing plate and we discovered Mori decided to "redesign" bearing that the pallet rotates on and instead of a large metal roller bearing instead used two 0.06"thick 3"dia plastic washers with grease between them. I kid you not. 880lb capacity on two pieces of plastic with grease..... Problem is this machine was bought to run a 3min cycle 24 hrs a day. Operators are getting worn out. Anybody else have Mori issues? This is the first one we've bought with the Mori/DMG label on the side. It might just be the last Mori we buy. Josh-

Looks like a decent machine. I would buy one before a Haas any day of the week. Don't like the square table.... Don't like Mazak service... Our VariAxis-500 gets beat on nonstop and its nothing but money. Wouldn't buy another mazak because of service though.

In X9PB1 I had to go to the old workaround of setting the control def to linear interpolate at max feedrate or else I get collisions between ops in MachSim. Had this problem before and now its back. Only downside is it won't catch if you have a bad retract between ops. This can be catastrophic.

Thank you

We have axiset for our Variaxis and it worked out of the box. Love it. Josh-

No worries.

Lame. I couldn't test on my phone. I have a ton of hass models at work. When I'm back tomorrow I'll check. You can also email apps at Haas and they should have them. Josh-
