  1. 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
  2. You can use dynamic with air region. It may have a check box for a finish pass. My smart a## answer would be use a bigger tool
  3. I don't see why they wouldn't work as long as you have a valid axis combination for the selected output
  4. They gave up on that I think. They ran the wire but I guess decided not to use it
  5. 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
  6. This worked better than I had hoped. But next time I will put more of the finishing on the fixture as when it got thin it rattled a little.
  7. You can only grind and wire it when it gets to condition 950
  8. So thats where that job went...lol It's going to shrink.
  9. 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
  10. 65p8888 The 8888 program is G65 p9857 t#518 the base macros has no variables. It calls up the actual macro.
  11. 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.
  12. Make sure the 3phase power conduit hasn't separated. That happened to us and the wireless communication went haywire
  13. 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
  14. Is one of the control defaults set to zigzag?
  15. I think there may also be a utility to linearize a tool path but don't remember
  16. It can calibrate while spinning if there isn't a 180 degree option. you can try incorporate this into the macros at the cost of increased cycle time
  17. I have done that in complete it's in the rotary tab in the cam wizard.
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. Slotmill is kind of like a circlemill for contours maybe
  21. 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.
  22. Chain a point in center then the diameter. In lead in check start point and exit point. Or circlemill to make life easy
  23. 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.
