Can you please give me guidance on this to! How is this barpull/pickoff new feature enabled in the post?

+1 thread mill all pipe taps and you will never look back they last a long time I just did a 16 core and cavity total of 64 all taped with same thread mill and it still look s like new

Thanks I have the same problem I though it was something I was doing wrong Ill call tomorrow

This is the first time I've ever used sub programs I don't understand how it works but it works tomorrow morning I'll try the changes and see what happens.How does the lathe see 1002 sub program? Thanks for your time

Hi how does one get the counter to work i have my lathe working off the sub programs just as you have in your code but i cant figure out what to change to make it stop after say 20 parts my lathe just keeps cycling. Thanks for your help

Thank you all for the info its great to know I have some ware to go to get real answers.

Hi I have a Mori Seiki SL-25 Fanuc 10T and Im having my post modified to make a bar puller work in X5 I need a posted code to test so i can give them a sample I don't even know were to start. I need the bar puller tool to be called up and to go to position un-calmp the jaws M11 then pull bar out stop then clamp the jaws M10 then bar puller retracts. Our lathe does not support canned cycles. When I use the Lathe Stock Advance in Master Cam all I get now is % O0000 (PROGRAM NAME - test) (DATE - DEC. 04 2011) (TIME - 5:43 PM) N100 G20 (TOOL - 2 OFFSET - 71) (BAR PULLER. INSERT - NONE) N110 G54 N120 G0 T0271 N130 G99 N140 M05 N150 G0 X0. Z.2 N160 G28 U0. W0. N170 M30 % So If some one has a sample they could reply with that would be great. -Does everyone just use a modified boring bar tool for the bar puller or is there a better tool to use? -How does one make the program repeat x amount of times after the bar puller pulls each time? Thanks for your time.

So I have a Mori Seiki Sl 25 Fanuc 10 T and am trying to make a bar puller I need to figure out how to clamp and unclamp the jaws in the program is this something I need to call Funuc on? Thanks for your time.

Thanks I didn't know where to put it!

Bump

I'm new to cnc lathes I'm a mill guy. But I've been cutting my teeth on a Mori Seki SL25 its fun but I need to know are bar feeders universal. Can I take a bar feeder for a newer Mori Seki NL and make it work with our older SL25? If not what bar feeders will work? One more question the SL25 will only take programs posted out long hand no m83 or any can cycles what am I doing wrong is there a setting in the old girl to get it to work?

Thanks for your time. I'm doing a 1.250 - 4 acme thread I have to do them in the lathe because no one that I have found makes a 1.250 -4 acme boring bar I the one was told was going to work was 1.250 dia bar won't fit 1.0125 hole. Not cool so I'm making my own bar to hold the inserts. Thanks for all the info.

Hi can I use a threading acme boring bar from a lathe to thread mill in a mill? Set up would be faster as I can set up six blocks and let them run at once instead of one at a time. So I can work on another project in the lathe. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your time. Its always the simple stuff.

Hi I'm new to cnc lathe I'm having problems with boring and grooving. Ill make my path and after the finish path the tool rapids through my part at an angle on its way to home for the next tool change how do i make it come out of the part without the angle? Thanks for your time.

Hi Is there a list of procedures to get X+ to work Ive downloaded it and instated it and have the icons but they done do anything i have it set right i think! Im running windows 7 X5 thanks for your time

Dose anybody have a metric tap library converted so it works not to be lazy but I wont be getting payed to covert all metric taps. Cuts into the weekends that I don't have to work! Thanks

Dose anybody make a CAT 40 to NMTB NS 30 TAPER quick change adapter or do I have to make my own? We have a lot of like new ns 30 and I need more holders I can use. Thanks for your time.

Haas VF3 with 4th axis Old School SMG aka "Miss SMG" I love this one! 2-Mori Seiki 2500 lathe 1-old Mori Seiki lathe

Hi we have an old 1989 SMG 3 axis mill with a Fanuc O-M controller we are really busy and our newer Haas cant keep up with our work load. I call her "Miss SMG" the guys at work told me that shes only ever been a drill press and yes the ways are still like new the pryer people didn't know how to make her dance! With a little hot wiring we now have her DNCing like a champ. I have always worked on newer CNC's and am not use to DNCing my question is how can I smooth her out she gets the job done but when HSMing its jerky our max braud band is 9600 and Ive got her at 9600. I tried just slowing the feeds and speeds down and loosening up the tolerances a bit but it just seems that its slower at the jerkiness. The finish is good but I think it can be better. Am I just expecting to much? Question number Two "Miss SMG" has an automatic oilier I forgot its brand I took the cover off its a simple motor that runs all the time I was wondering how to increase the amount of oil going to her ways as I think its a bit dryer than I like Ive drilled holes in the way covers and put plastic covers in them so I can oil the ways it every morning. Do we have to get a different oilier or can i adjust my old one? Monday I will get the name off the pump o yes the oilier also has a external handle that the oil pump keeps up. Thanks for all your time!

Try the translating tool path its awesome see the example and post it out it doesn't get much easer. Thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks I see the light! thanks again.

I guess I don't get how each tool will run g54,g55g56g57 and so on if there is a translate between G54 G55 G56 and so on its great I could then post out each tool individually to run in order! I guess it would be the same as coping and pasting though. I guess I'm looking for a quicker way.

The rest of the page comes out in English. I guess I worded the post wrong. I want to put my logo up on top. Thanks.

I'm trying to take a program that has several tools and have to run say 300 parts I want to set up as many as I can and run each tool on each part tool #1 g54 g55 g56 tool number 2 g54 g55 g56 and so on without cutting and pasting posted programs to cut down on tool changes time=$
