Funuc 3T controls
-
They have 3T control and they range from 1978-1984.

We have four Mori-Seiki SL-3 lathes that program x-, and was told that there is a parameter that you could change to make them x+, does anyone know what parameter that would be? or is this not possible? Thanks

Hey John, Sorry about that, its still a little early here. I am still learning with post edits so please be patient. #Retract to reference return pbld, n, `sgcode, psccomp, e #if home_type = m_one, pbld, n, *toolno, e pcan1, pbld, n, *sg28ref, "U0.", [if y_axis_mch, "V0."], "W0.", pnullstop, strcantext, e #if home_type > m_one, pbld, n, *toolno, e Is this what you are asking me to do? If so, the offset cancel is still there.
-
quote: do a find on pl_retract I put a # in front of the pl_retract and it did get rid of the offset cancel but it also took out the home position.
-
the post that we are using is a generic fanuc that has been altered and the line blocks are the only way i can find it unless i read the hole post.i can use the find funk. but it hasn't liked any of the info i put in.
-
Just wanted to use the block numbers to find where I need to edit then turn them off
-
Paris, as far as the block numbers, If you go in your post and use the NC functions drop down and click on Insert block numbers or Ctrl. T works to.
-
Paris, Do you know what block or line number so I can find that? Thanks
-
Paris, I beleive it is a Haas post.
-
Yes Randy
-
We have a Haas lathe, and in the post does enyone know at what line number I could change to get rid of the tool offset at the end of every operation?
-
Thanks Thad, that works great!! I have mine set at 4 how about you or anyone else. Thanks agian
-
Thad, Would you happen to have a linky?
-
This may seem like a strange request, but is there a way a adjust the zoom scale on the mouse wheel? Thanks

I turn in a mold shop, and we have been getting a lot larger molds than we usually do, with that said, we also have large lathes that can handle it. We have been plowing out 5-6" ID with only a 1 5/8 drill to start out with, that's a long cycle time for a bar to do the rest. This job is a 20 cavity mold, and the round stock weight over 1700lbs. I guess my question is, can you purchase matl. like(440SS) in a tube form? and is it cost effective over the long cycle times?
-
why cant you use coolant with a mister? good coolant wont allow rust. A good sharp new drill and a little mist of coolant will do fine, even with the 4000rpm, just retract more to cool it down and get the shavings off. If it is not production why not use a spray bottle with light oil? not sure about oil properties with peek, but I have turned a sh%t load of it and some times I use diluted degreaser in a spay bottle. but it was never production, hope I helped.
-
No I dont think so, but not sure.. thought the cable would be the best. I guess this is more than I bargained for.. That sucks!! What an opportunity, just not sure how to implement it without great danger..
-
If you or anyone gets "Modern Machine Shop" (April) there is a great article on pg.86 on hard milling that talks about differant HRC and feeds and speeds. I am from a mold shop and the mill on pg.77 makes me move down there.
-
I think only the lathe has a floppy, but both have RS232.
-
It still sounds safer that typing it in, I have done two or three hundred lines before and I still found a wreck or two just from a type-O. But I was the one to run it and found it fine. I see your point.. I am also concerned about anyone making a wrong edit and I get blamed. I know a few small shops around me and thought a little extra change would be nice. Any other comments or anyone doing this type of thing I would love to hear.
-
Does anyone else do this thru email? What about liabilities? Just had a bad thought...I have both good post, but what if?
-
Hey all, I have a freind with a small shop, he has a Haas mill and Haas lathe, it is just him and one other guy and they hand write programs and type them in. I can program one of his parts through email at my work with MCX2, but at this point how could he download it though email with out typeing it in? I do have permision to do this with my employer, but was just wondering if there was a inexpensive software out there that he could use to just send it to his mach. using a RS232 cable from his email? Thanks

If you use T0202 offset number, cant you make the geometery the same on offset 12 (for example) and call the second offset T0212?
-
yeah, I do that all the time, edit here edit there.. It would just be nice if MCX2 Lathe had that option, and even ask how many revs. you want so you dont have to figure it out (not that its that hard to do), Im just surprised that a groove tool path has it, but no finish tool path. I use some very small rad. tools (.0015R) on finish and if I dont dwell it will blow right by, and snapping it off.
