Anyone?

I am covering a new area this week they have an older Mazak with an M2 control, I used our M32 post but I keep getting an alarm 553 illegal data input can anyone supply some sample code? is there a limit to G codes per block?

Most lathes experience this, if the x casting and headstock are not on the same casting it is common. we adjusted our Okuma LB10's till they warmed up. But The LC series share the same casting and grow and shrink together.

I can look tonight I may still have a factory manual for the 4 ax lathe. you should be using load monitor if you are pinch turning if 1 insert fails you could loose both pockets on the holders

weird there is no VMON either usually there is monitoring on all these turets

Barcode is lame!!!!! you should remember the barcode problems with that other tool we worked on Metal motion full up rfid hundreds of tools and pallets

Does anyone have an RFID scanner or barcode to check and make sure the right fixture is in the machine, horizontal vertical or any other expierence with this please share.

Colin it is not me! I wouldnt care but some people do

Thanks I will give it a go

that didnt work I think it has to be some verisurf setting

in the operations manager you have tabs left from right Toolpaths Solids MBD Art

When one of the guys here launches mastercam it comes up on the MBD tab instead of the toolpaths tab in the ops manager how do I change this

Make sure to keep your WCS top then create C and T planes at 90 180 etc

thanks james trying it tonight

Thanks Ron we will give it a look

ok please look at line N180 and N182 N170G3X28.1673Y6.733I28.556J6.8784 N172X28.3032Y6.5903I28.4419J6.8584F100. N174X28.5817Y6.4699I29.1867J8.2527F560.

thank you very much

can someone please tell me root radius min max

I wish I had geomagic used it at metron systems when I was there. Thanks for the help though

Can this be done?

if you have any question on G and M code macros and library files let me know I would be glad to help you out

where I use to work A77 all 20k and wished we had more all Aluminum though
