well uninstalled all of X7 and codemeter, deleted all folders, and defragmented my hard disk. Started a fresh install and it did not give me a choice on installing the codemeter. can i just uninstall that? or go in my administrative tools and dis-able it like rocheey1?? Was this covered somewhere in the stickies?
i use control but stock model does not work in "control". i have been oscillating between the two as well. Tom do you guys not use re ground end mills? we do and it would seem there is a greater chance of the wrong offset entered if an operator had to measure a tool then figure out how much under it is, as opposed to just entering the actual diameter. (we use diameter offsets).
that's a nice control but currently we have Fadal or Fanuc control. i'm trying to keep it easy on my operators. is there much of a learning curve going from a fanuc to the osp?
hi guys, looking for some advice from here on which machine tool to go with.
we are replacing a fadal 4020 and looking at the two machines listed.
they both come with the same control Fanuc Oi-MD which we will upgrade to
include the AICC II 200 block look ahead. both will be equipped with the chip blaster
thru spindle coolant and chip conveyor. the difference comes to spindle horsepower
and travel. we are leaning toward the Feeler costs slightly more but heavier machine
longer travels more torque/hp and 2 year std warranty on both the control and machine tool.
what does the emastercam community have to say?
Feeler:
spindle:25 hp spindle chiller std
torque: 117.7 Nm (87ft.lbs.)
travel: 43.3 x 24 x 23.6
xy linear guide ways z box ways
Hardinge:
spindle:20 hp spindle chiller opt
torque: 114.Nm (84ft.lbs.)
travel: 40.16 x 21.25 x 21.25
xyz linear guide ways
i had an ex sales rep tell me to stay away from them. i don't think he was dis-gruntled, he's with a different company not selling machine tools now. jm2c
did you mod your post from the standard 4 axis mill post? if so and you have Cimco Edit (comes with x6) you can open both files and do a file compare and change yours to match the original in those certain areas. make BACKUPS FIRST. hth
so your not using the standard mpmaster post? or you've modified it? try downloading the original and see if you get the same results. i use the mpmaster and have not encountered this.
Charmilles doesn't have any? i have bought one from them in the last January, p/n 970309. I believe a service tech told me years ago that there are some jumpers at the back of the drive to switch between 720k and 1.44mb.
