    After parameter 1320 there are max feed rate values for handle rapid jog, etc. Scroll after and they will show up. Parameter 1604 bit 0 set to one will set the g5.1 on automatically during feed. Otherwise use g5.1 q1 to turn on G5.1q0 is off Also g8p1 is a block look ahead also Fanuc can add the aicc 1 or 2 if you pay them if you don't have the option.

    I always Dynamic face the stuff, even delrin

    Yea, cast iron will make a coolant tank nasty. We had a long run of invar on our MX 520 which uses way grease and the coolant became vile. Had to do a full cleanout

    We have a part with a 00-90 in ti

    Osg hypro vc10 List number 344ti or whatever the metric equivalent is

    You may want to verify any programs with the g10 offset. If it slipped your zero may have changed. In extreme cases the machine won't home out and a grid shift is required. Some machines have a coupling to absorb shock in the event of collision that slips

    I misread i thought you said carbon fiber. Does it have glass feedback scales? Maybe there is a contaminant on the z?

    Your g254 sounds similar to our fanuc g68.2 I think So you have a model of your fixture and you part solid in its respective position and program by making planes on the sides and top of the part. There's probably a bunch of ways to do it but I always have a fixture and part model in their respective positions at a0 and c 0 so it can be loaded in camplete for verify. Even of no work is done at the a0c0 position I still use it as home in mastercam. So when you face the top of the first part it would position to b-20 c0

    I have heard that the carbon fiber dust in not good for the electronics also. An encoder can slip a tooth and the belts can wear Is there a value in the external work offset?
  10. Leon82
    If I were to do i't home would be a0 c0 and planes would be relative to that. I'm probably spoiled by the tilting work plane.

    Big kaiser spindles can use face taper locating tool holders. Our matsuura have the big kaiser spindle in bt40. Out yasda Is hsk32 and the er25 holders look almost silly. The nut is bigger than the taper. But for light cuts and mold work it's probably better than cat or BT 30

    I messed up the reply box, but I usually start the program with the coolant neglect on and single block down. When ready to go I switch the key to setup stop the spindle start coolant and start the spindle. Then back to run and cycle start. Be happy nothing happens when you push the button. Our vplus 1000 gives a sequence alarm if you hit the button. We lost 12 hours of a 40 hour cycle from a curious employee one night

    Some machines have an m code to initialize the tool table. You would need to reload them in the correct order but they would be in numerical order. Over time the magazine is probably the most random it can be. Maybe a fresh start will help

    Does 2018 still use the hasp manager? We always had to switch ours on new installs of x9 to the net hasp

    A cycle was mis used. Did you try to tap with a drill cycle or vice versa
  16. Leon82
    If you listen closely you will hear something engage when you turn it on. I hope they didn't charge you for the new ones they should have updated the ladder preventing it from turning on while the spindle rotates
  17. Leon82
    This is the case with every matsuura 20,000 RPMs spindle We have.

    Not yet, but they can go bad.

    What's your tolerance in the tool path tolerance set to. If you program to leave .01 stock and have a tolerance of .02 it will violate the avoidance chain
  20. Leon82
    That's what I thought.

    What exactly does g18 do on a lathe?
  22. Leon82
    You will most likely have to enable the parameter to use the 54.4 I think its after the 19700 set but am not sure. We had to enable it in all our machines Otherwize the machine will hang up and not run if there is a value in there
  23. Leon82
    We program our machines like this. 54 is set to the 19700... Parameters. Z is the z height plus the table offset. If we are using a turned part we indicate it and set xy to that. Programs are programmed from the face of the table
  24. Leon82
    But workofffset z value can affect this too
  25. Leon82
    Or your kinematics need to be adjusted
