The shirts DID go out - we were waiting to see if we could get a couple new sizes in, but alas if they're not there by the end of this week I'll tan UPS' hideStill no shirt here in Ky..
If you change from absolute to incremental from one op to the next, all 3 axis will rapid at the same time, possibly causing a crash.
I only suggested this because he might not have noticed if his z axis actually did this or not.
We have a VF3 with Thru Spindle Coolant and the spindle stops before the coolant comes on and then restarts.
Is there a way to make the spindle not stop when the coolant thru comes on??
Thanks
Doug,
Also try re-starting after changing the parameters.
I remember when I was hooking it up to the network I had to re-start numerous times to make changes take effect.
HTH
Doug, The tech acted stupid when I asked, then I told him I had seen one run 6000 rpm's at U of L
and he started laughing and then said he would do it. They're not gonna tell you it can be done, but the pic shows it can.

What type of application are we talking about? We use ours mainly for prototype plastic parts. Sometimes when a customer wants a plastic mold, they also want a handful of parts before the mold is built to make sure the parts work.
Yes it can be done. We had a Haas tech in here last week to work on our VF-3 and while he was here I asked him to turn the spindle up on our TM-1. It now runs 6000rpm
I wasn't out in the shop watching, so I can not tell you how to do it, sorry
