Pros, Cons, Mounting vises on raised sub plate
GoetzInd replied to Roger's topic in Industrial Forum
We have a similar set up on all our VMC's. Is there a reason it is so far off the table? ours is about .5 in. off and we can clear chips from under it. Mike. -
Hi Dwain, Thanks for the reply. I should have been more clear. I am still looking to do a rotary cut, just starting left to right, not right to left. Mike

Forgot file. ROTARY 4X.MCX-7

Hi Guys, How can I get this path cutting in the X+ direction (opposite from what it is doing now)? Use this path pretty frequently and I guess it just always cuts the way I want it haha. TIA Mike

Windows. I like windows. Also, 16in floor throughout so you have flexibility. Dock and ground level. Mike

You can get there with a nice pre-setter WITH power clamping and motorized movement. We have a manual one and you can get under .0005 pretty easily. We have tool probes on all our machines but only use them for breakage. Mike

Do you have the master from Renishaw? Mike

Small trepanning or micro boring tools
GoetzInd replied to Prodoggg's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
I would look at PH horn, Arno, or Thin Bit. Have had good luck with all three of these in very similar application to yours. Mike- 2 replies

Method for calculating workoffsets for 4th axis?

New Machine Day coming soon!
GoetzInd replied to Eric@HorsepowerInc.'s topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Nice! Mike -
Bob, Pretty sure there is a setting to turn off the option. Also, are you using G187 Px? What are you trying to accomplish by turning off look ahead? Mike
-
You can control it via system variables. We have added logic to our toolchange macros to automatically adjust coolant position based on gage length. Mike

Can be Jerry'd w/ 5axis curve. However we've only come across one application that really required it. Daniel had a very informative post on B axis turning. http://camzone.org/2...me-possibility/ Mike

Bob Wolcott says he's got dibs on the first available programmer. Mike

Custom Macro B Programming
GoetzInd replied to cncchipmaker's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
I was figuring just 2d turning of an egg. More details would help. Mike -
Yes and yes. However, would not be quite as elegant as say Fanuc's G54.4 WSEC Work Setting Error Compensation. You would prove a position and than run the macro which would "Translate the work offset about your rotary axis'. The plus side to this is you can build in some safety features with the macro. We don't use it for 5x but do it all the time in 4x HMC's. Mike

Custom Macro B Programming
GoetzInd replied to cncchipmaker's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
I believe you will need the nurbs option if I'm not mistaken depending on geo. Bullet shape geo right? Mike -
+1 I would just write a dynamic workoffset macro. That's what we have on our mills w/o DFO. A couple of people here have done it for 5 axis Haas' as well. Maybe they are willing to share.... Mike

Like Brandon said, It is possible using G68 coordinate rotation. You can use an corner or single angle surface macro (not in quick code but in the machine). PM me and I will send you the Renishaw inspection plus for Haas macro manual and it will spell it all out. Remember, there are limitations to what you can do in G68 mode. One being no more probing. Mike

PM me your e-mail. I will send you the renishaw inspection plus manual for HAAS. Mike

What calibration cycle did you last use? You must use the O9804 vector calibration cycle if you're going to use 3 point. Mike

Boring Head Reccomendations
GoetzInd replied to TheePres's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
We have Big Kaiser and they are VERY nice. Not cheap though. Mike -
Bob, Another option would be to modify the block so that the air is activated by a selenoid via M code instead of when it is plunged. That way you can turn it on right at the beginning of the toolchange sequence. Clearing the chips and coolant and not blowing into the spindle. Also, you may want to get a laser tacometer to see what the actual rpm is under load. They are not as expensive as I thought they would be. $160 from mcmaster. Sure you can find cheaper. http://www.mcmaster....1905t22/=qyle4j Mike

Haven't seen that. There is a tolerance setting. I keep them both at .001 unless it's something really big and my file compare's to the model right on. Mike

PM James. I know Selway sells Toyoda so maybe he has a contact there. Mike
