quote:Is that magazine expandable? 240 tools is a bit light for 32 pallets??
I was thinking the same thing.

So get to work!Why not just add a robot (or two) for loading and unloading and go 720+ hours of unmanned operation?

Heard rumor that "Top Dogs" in Cali make 150k/yr.

We are really busy here with 5x work. We have a three year backlog of work. Local shops are holding up well with the exception of Eclipse Aviation which is having financial problems.

Bullet Bob,
Renashaw published a couple of manuals for their probing system to help with programming Haas probes. If you contact Renashaw they can email you the manuals in PDF format.
Here are the part#'s
H-2000-6066-0B-A (Probe installation manual for HAAS VF series machines)
H-2000-6222-00-B (Inspection Plus software for Haas machining centres)

Same here!

hmm, I haven't had a problem with setting mine. I just make sure that I check the box.

Machine Group Properties - Tool settings - Adjust feed on arc move - Min arc feed.
Is that what you are looking for?

quote:Ahoy!,I have a customer who would like some custom parts made. He is after stainless brake discs and I was curious as to what type of ss and treatment for this application. Also, anyone know a good place for cast wheel blanks with the tyre profile and bore already finished?
Click here for 420 Stainless Steel rotor blanks.
Click here for Forged and Cast aluminum wheel blanks.

You might check that the machine is level (a quick and easy check). With lighter machines I have found that when they get out of level that they tend to twist and cause problems simular to what you are experiencing.

Thanks for the reply mfranco.
Oops, I did not think about the 360+ degree output. You just need to add an if statement to subtract 360 when m_521 is equal to or greater than 360 degrees. If you need help with that let me know.

Nice Greg!!

quote:2. I would like to use #511=270. #512=50. instead of the G65 P9507 macro.3. In the two program rotation lines I need the "*p_out, *s_out" values in for R. In the first program line - R=*p_out + 90 and the second should be R=*s_out.In this post sample, the R should read R0. (270+0) and second line R should read R50.This part of the post for these two lines is:if stagetool <= one, pbld, n,"G68 X0 Y0 Z0 I0 J0 K1 R", eif stagetool <= one, pbld, n,"G68 X0 Y0 Z0 I1 J0 K0 R", eThe first two issues are just preferences, but this last issue is necessary.
This should fix items 2 and 3 for you. There are probably easier ways to do this, but this seems to work. Let me know if this works out for you.
I'm assuming that you want #511 and #512 as outputs from the machine rotation position(?)
Add this to your fmt list

quote:IF I knew exactly the work mix and volume ahead of time, and I had the money for the deposit!.
Good response. It does sound like you know what work you are looking for based on the type of machine you picked. You could still do it. You will just have to work a little harder in the beginning. Knowing that you have a payment due is a great motivator to bring more work in. Having a better machine means that you can process more work in a shorter time frame and make more money to pay for the machine.
Then there is the problem of the down payment. Do what ever you can to get it, beg, borrow, steal, hock everything you have. In the long run you will be happy that you did!

quote:Anyway, I am buying a Haas myself shortly, only because I am starting and a machine with an equivalent envelope to a GR-712 with extended Z is four times the price.
If you did the ROI as suggested by Dragracer1951, you might find out that in may be more benificial to buy the more expensive machine. Just a thought.

In all fairness to Dragracer1951, Haas' SL-10 with a bar feeder is a problem child. Lot's of guys in this area have had nothing but problems with that package. In fact, they refuse to buy another Haas because of it.

That is so true!!

I will email them to you when I get home this evening.
Anybody else?
I do know that they work for TI-83 and TI-84s.

I am not sure if they are compatible with a TI-85, but you can give it try. I do know that they work for TI-83 and TI-84s.

I would highly recommend vapor polishing. One place that I worked in the past would "vapor polish" polycarbonate with excellent results. It's quick and easy. Just do a google search for "vapor polishing" to find the chemicals and processes involved.
