Woodruff Rd is murder. I would need an extra $5 an hour to drive it everyday.

How about these. Techniks or these. Rego-Fix

That fixed it. Thanks

After installing X3, I get the no Sim found error at start up. I can not start X2 MR2 SP1 either. I ran the haspx exe and is says HASP found. I've tried uninstalling, redownloading, and reinstalling without any luck. Has anyone else seen this issue?

I have edited the mplmaster post to out put the correct code for lathe stock advance. The problem I am having is where it outputs the code. For this example the lathe stock advance is the first tool path operation. If I do not select USE TOOL STOP, it outputs the code before pheader$. If I do select USE TOOL STOP, it outputs the code between lsof$ and ltlchg0$ of the next tool path operation. Is there a way to specify where to output this code? This seems to only be an issue when it is the first tool path. Thanks,

Yes, under tool nose radius for the tool number you want to offset enter the radius offset and enter 0 or 9 for tool direction. 0 or 9 is for center of tool.

We have DNC Max5 with 32 machines. We are not currently running NC-Base. All machines are wireless. Moxa units at the machines and a Cisco access point in the sky. DNC Max service runs on a single PC but is backed up to the network nightly. We also have three clients floating around the shop.

Chris_B, Depinding on how your machine parameters are set, you might can use all mazatrol offsets. The way ours are setup I use all mazatrol offsets except for end mills. For end mills I use the fanuc type offset page and set direction to a 0 or 9. HTH.

Can I update my v9 setup sheet, or do I need to get a new one through Inhouse?

+1 to Jimmy. Just used those settings on a Fusion 640 MT, and worked fine.

A mplmaster would be great.

we ran short and long runs on our LaBlond Makino cell (2 A55's with 15 pallets) for 14 years until a business decision was made to sell them off. The great thing about this type of system is you can leave more dedicated fixturing on the machine which cuts set up time way down.

I think there are two differant types of cells at issue here. One being a work cell and the other being a machining cell. What James has is a cell where two or more HMC's are linked together with a "train" that moves any number of pallets back and forth between operator stations, holding racks, and the machines. A work cell can have many types of machines in it to improve the flow between the machines.
