It is me, I have been offline for a few days. We just got a short lead time job so I had a ton of squaring and water grinding to do so it was a good time for IT to get me a new box ...XBox

Gismo I tried to email your addy bounced. Could you rename your .zip file to .zp or something (I am not allowed to download .zip files) I could really use this c hook Thank you Tony

We use Fanucs "Handling Tool" and "Teach Pendant". We load/crimp/Pott/cure and Test. Tony [ 10-05-2004, 04:14 PM: Message edited by: Tony_Microplastics ]

Its in some of your Toolpaths "Filter".

Cheat, Then project unto surface

All good advice. So many ways to skin a cat I am lazy and just wired the whole thing finished and tapped the piston down till I couldnt move the Parallel underneath it.

All of are "Worn" tooling Goes into bins that the ToolMakers (Manual mill) pick through and Destroy. Then it goes into the scrap carbide bin Or gets Resharpened. We have an awesome drill sharpner That has paid for itself 100 times over.

Shady Take a block Cut your bore then Run slots almost all the way out to the Ends Down the center of the block (So you can collapse the Bore when you clamp on it in a vice) We have a Wire so I used that to do the whole thing. I could send you a file if you want. (Total G job) Tony Edit: You can c'bore the back of the block for the wrist pin to maintain location of each piston

I have a "Tally" in front of my Monitor Of How many times Backplot alone has saved Me. 26 times in 5 years In the same time frame 15 times the block was completely Un salvagable!!!!

We get 25% on the dollar matched Also we can change Everything about it on the fly through the internet. In four years my first of three will start college Then I have two weddings to pay for sometime after that. I'm just putting it away while I can.

We have a 1400 that gave us years of Service. Only recently does it error out. "Illegal this Illegal that" When it worked fine one cycle start ago. Also I can no longer edit within the controller It will shut down on the spot. Anilam says "But new your beating a dead horse"

I put the maximum allowed in our 401k here 15%.It hurts a little.

CheckMate... Hey thanks guys,thats just what I need.

Standing By...

Richard "they have to fight to hold the specific position" You can have The Gain for each axis fine tuned to eliminate the Fighting. Thad ,I am still trying to figure out "AFAIK" Grammar edit [ 08-25-2004, 12:33 PM: Message edited by: Tony_Microplastics ]

I turn them all off over the holidays. If they have a PC controller I turn them off Whenever there not being used Just like any PC they can get screwy without a reboot now and then.

A small proto type mold and Cheater Snowmobile Parts so Some kid here can win his Stock Grass drag class. (I'm easy ,he bought me a $2.99 sub sandwich) As the saying goes: "He's cheating because I'm cheating and he beat me"

Phil I am 40 miles west of Chicago you can stay at my place. I'll have my wife shuttle you to and from in Are minivan So tell the Boss It is Free! Leave the Fly rods at home,Sadly are river systems are all Silt/Phosphate/Carp. Tony

(M32 Clamp A axis) "The clamp A axis code clamps the A axis. For A axis moves after M32,The A axis automatically unclamps and clamps after the move is made. (M33 Unclamps untill a M32 is programmed) M33 is active before the other commands in the block are executed and is cancelled by a clamp A axis (M32) command HTH

Moto You need to get there ISNC software package to cut complex shapes/surfaces. Also When you have MC's arc filter going in all planes and a tight cutting tolerence (.0002)etc. you will get Wild moves thrown in like a 29.00 full circle (Which is obvious in a controllers graffic check)and sometimes a few tiny full circles that you have to really zoom in on to catch. you can choose not to use mc's arc filter but then your surface will look all "Disco ball looking" I use filter and raise the cut tolerence till the wild moves go away, it doesnt happen that often. Also I have stalled the vm1 with a 1.250 drill bit and another guy snapped the Belt! I have a great post for you too,no problem Feel free to contact me with any questions Tony

My anti-V blocks images... What is it for those of us "impaired"?

ToolFab Where are you heading? I just came back from Shiskbogama(sp) / Fence lake WI. Three hrs from home and I start Bitchin about work, my wife says "I hope you forgot about Work for at least 24hrs this trip"... I did
