Hello all,
I have a Robodrill a-D21LiA5 with Fanuc series 31i-model B5...
This machine is crazy fast and gets dangerous to run specially when we do a lot of one offs.
What parameters can I change to reduce the rapid feeds to lets say in half.
and how to change those parameters ?
cheers
there should be 4 buttons that say low, 25%,50% and 100% these will control the rapid
Yes, there is low, 25%,50% and 100% but the low is way to slow and the 25% is way to fast for 25%---this machine is crazy fast and I'm already seeing people crashing it big time. Have you seen a robodril running? it may sound ironic---Sometimes seems that the machine wants to run away through the shop. I can post a video if you like? A good example, I never seen a machine changing tools so fast, I'm looking at the tool change operation and the tool is already on the part. Is faster than my eyes. sound funny but is the true!!!!Quote:

Parameter 1420, Must be in MDI or ESTOP and turn on PWE which can be found under the offset/setting screen under settings. Parameter Write Enable
Thanks drdos, works like a charm now...Quote:

I have never worked on a robodrill but I would answer no, you cannot modify the low speed. The parameter modify overall speeds. The percentages and ranges are done in the machine logic.Quote:

Well that took a while to troubleshoot. Lol.Quote:

it seems that japaneses did a machine that you can not handle...LOL....dunno who is smarter and who is not.

If this machine is designed for a production environment---why not a fully optimization? Maybe you can answer me?
It just depends on the builder. Ive seen a bunch of machines come from korea with the FEED variable from 0-120% at 10% increments and then have the RAPID at 0-25-50-100%. But other machines from japan having the FEED and RAPID on the same 0-120% with 10% increments. Depend on the programmer i have found since some like the controls independant.Quote:

To answer in my own way about adjusting it further is that mostly i will not program something so intricate unless it is a requirement or custom added feature.
