    Sorry Hardmill, Hey I heard gosiger is taking over the northwest do you know if there are any application positions available?
  2. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    Oh one other thing for hard milling there is an okuma option know one seems to use and I guarante it will impress everyone! It is MOP tool most dont know how to use it but I think it is the single best option of any machine tool builder
  3. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    first of all our you looking for an inexspensive machine? YCM is an excellent machine for the money Fanuc control all the bells and whistles! Okuam, Mori, Makino, all great with right spindle options and way configuration. To HARDMILL Why would you want to put a Fanuc control on an OKUMA I like both controls but an okuma control on the okuma is your best bet.

    I have never had problems with it using MR2 if you have your WCS set and the T/C planes our in its range of rotation and proper orientation to the axis should not be a problem.
  5. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    I am not sure how it handles multi parts multi sides this is in a horizontal inviroment. Mastercam handles it flawless with wcs and t/c planes with translate and rotate no hand editing and good verify. I see him having multiple files to make 1 part with lots of hand editing and cut and paste I do not know if he knows how to use it right or if that is just how it is.

    Can you reply via email? and who is the mazak distributor and what part of canada I use to cover all the way to yellow knife
  7. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    Are you trying to post in mazatrol or EIA/ISO
  8. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    You might want to talk to your Mazak applications engineer, I know the oh mighty question is fround upon here but I do beleive that many people have worked on sollutions for the intergrex and Im sure they would share there info with you. There are many people that say you need to buy it from your reseller but I have never been 100 % satisfied with them.

    I beleive it is cimatron e is the most current. See the problem is I am not the senior programmer so I dont really have alot of say in this but if I could come up with some good arguments I am hoping to overcome this. Thanks

    please help, I am an avid mastercam user and our company is trying to go to one cam package! I want someone who knows about this software to help me explain why mastercam is better. I love Mcam and have since V6 I dont want to lose it. any one who knows bad points or limitations please respond.

    I Think the 2d chamfer mill works flawlessly to, lots of times I want to just use the very top edge of the tool to deburr closer to a vertical wall so if the tool dia. .25 I will say .005 chamfer with .12 offset if sharp tip always works great

    For thread forming it is not quite cut and dry on drill sizes depends on H or D number tap and speeds and feeds are important try to keep them at even numbers. Equaly important id coolant and concentration level of the coolant. Last does your machine have rigid tapping and are you using a compression retention type of holder. P.S. Balax has an online catalog you can print out they have a great tech. section.

    I think your only option is to use G85 bore in bore out you don't have any room to move off the bore with a twin head.
  14. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    You should contact your local reps, Okuma, Mori, The right Mazak. Tell them what you want and they will setup a demo with your part and you can compare run time cut quality and rigidity. You need to be an edjucated buyer dont take peoples word on a machine tool until you see for yourself and don't get snowed by a salesman. P.S. I was in applications for 7 years with machine tool builders and helped many customers with machining solutions
  15. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    This is a great thread, I will say that the machine tool you are using and its options will have much to do with surface ability! all machines are not created equal. Okuma has one of the best surfacing options you can get, along with Makino, many of todays machine builders have gone to high speed and the ball screw pitch is large to make them faster. I have done many demos on Okuma's with almost perfect surfaces but that is because it has all the options.
  16. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    I am not sure what a class "A" surface is? 32, 16, 8, how does it correspond?
  17. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    I think Wear is the safest comp to use. If you forget to change D value part is scrap. As far as reading the program shop floor operators shouldn't need to read it and it prevents didlers (people who mess with program just because they feel like it) as far as the Makak and Some Okumas with negative comp, these are parameter settings and you should contact your local machine tool distributor for help If it's an Okuma I can give you the parameter # to change.
  18. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    I am using true solid with a 3/16 ball mill and .005 step over the backplot path is smooth and looks perfect but verify is choppy and even corner rounders dont look good
  19. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    what kind of machine are you runing
  20. Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.
    I am wondering if antone can help? I am running version X and when I verify stitching it looks bad. I put quality to hi and tolerances to .001 I think it may be my graphics setup running NVIDIA g force 6600 I have 2 gig ram and dual 2.2 proccesors should be plenty
