Have to make a few new sub-plate for one of our older machines.
Finished it a 24.802 square with 45 degree x 2.5 corners.
It's going onto a horzontal to mill all the sides.
The question is how to trim the corner toolpath. There will be a LOT of air cutting with a 4.0 face mill.
Take a look at the picture. It's in top view, not the 45 degrees for the program.
Thanks
One of my maintenance guys is asking to put a dwell into the program. Anyone know the dwell command for a DMU50? I tried the standard g4 p1 and get an alarm.
Thanks
OK peeps....gets even strainger.....
Machine used to only go into e-stop BEFORE the centerdrill ran at the index stated.
Now it does it, and NOT all the time, after the center drill is finished. It NEVER does it at the same index with the drill......
Here are the machine alarm numbers...
25201 - Axis B1 drive fault.
300608 - Axis B1 drive 5 speed controller at limit.
510305 - Emergency stop: Drive B axis is not ready.
3000 - Emergency stop.
510311 - Emergency stop: E/R module not ready.
WOW....gets even weirder.
Had to break down the job to run another hurry up job. No problems, lots of rotary moves.
After the reset-up of first job, back to the e-stop BS in the same spot. It took about a half a day completeing about 20 parts before the first e-stop alarm.
WEIRD.......YES...very
Made a looping program and it ran fine. whent back to the production program.....same $hit...
Checked the program all is good.
Copied the drill and changed the cycle 83 to 81 and changed the drill depth for the center drill....e-stop AGAIN...
BTW.....this machine is past weird.
ours is a 3+2 also....
The machine goes to an e-stop
The wierd thing is the only time in the program it shuts down (and not all the time) is on the center drill. The drill later on never, as of yet had the problem.
We have a DMU-50
This does not happen all the time, but today even after a restart it happened three times in a row.
Program sends machine to C270. and B95. Machine goes to C270. and B94.98971 and goes into e-stop.
Any ideas???
service people have no clue....
Thanks
^^ Yep......what Jack said....
Happened here once also...Dumb DMU's
We had to call the tech in. And the fix was too effin secret.....guy wouldn't tell us $hit
I am trying to modify a SFM to 2500 and the FTP to .035 and the feedrate goes to a strange italic. I checked the post and the max cutting feed is well above this. Where else should it get changed so the actual feedrate appears instead of the strange 500 I get now?
Thanks
After I post the arc gets split into 2 quads. I checked the post and the control def. and they both say DO NOT BREAK ARCS...
Am I missing something somewhere?????
