When we were drilling the stuff we used Cobalt drills. It started a squeal so the co-worker hit the reset button. Being a matsuura the spindle just keeps running and the drill welded itself inside the hole
My yasda post I changed to outputs 6 places and it accepts values of .00001 inches in the misc drill parameters. And with surfacing it was posting 6 place values after I set it to linearize with a super tight step setting. Ran off the card because it would have taken hours getting it on the data server.
I made no other changes other than that
I use verify for 3x and Camplete for 5x.
Full cimco offers backplot also. I use that to make sure my program I opened will engrave the cereal number I want it too
This was an ots sensor. After the first touch it rapided thru the stylus. Either there was a signal issue or something else went wrong.
This is the newest machine and the only difference is you can override the feed on the skip move (parameter 6200skf I believe.
Yes.
It's taking actual stylus diameter and lag time between the probe strike and the triggering of the skip signal.
But but you have data for x minus x plus y minus y plus and vector angles
We have one for xy and one for z. The xy one does the xy and also vector calibration.
Z is separate as you need the work offset to touch a known point. You don't want it going out of the calibration ring if you have fixtures in the machine it could interfere with
We have lathe files and mill files.
3 axis and 5 axis parts are in the same file.
On a machine like that I would put it all in one file. But there are times when multiple files are easier.
It prevents regeneration.
In the settings you can lock feed rates. This let's you type it into the field in the tool page.
Or I always put my feeds in the tool so it never changes.
The 19700 to 19705 parameters have to be set correctly for them to work.
The parameter should be labeled so x table position get yourself a mini program to bore two holes 180° apart. Visualize which way you have to shift and move at half of the total indicator reading. Then you can run another part and fine tune it.
