How is this cover built-up?
Are there scissor arms behind there like on telescopic covers or is it something else holding the different sections together?
How is the cover "guided"...

BT20 was my preferred tooling for this size of machine, but was quickly discarded because it was so hard to find tool holders and spindles in that size.

You're right about the 4th and 5th.

I have done some thinking. This is a small machine so the piece to be machined would many times be clamped directly on the table since it will allow for more room in the Z-Axis.

To fasten any...

I’m making some rough drawings of a small 3-axis VMC, but am a little lost when trying to figure out the Z-axis spindle clearance to table (no vise on table, only table) and Z-axis travel. It’s...

I have a wise with my workpiece on a random place on the table.
I start up the machine, run it to homeposition.

It has a RS232 port and i have looked behind the operators panel and the wires are connected to something so I assume it's okay.

Have tried many different things but i can't seem to find out how...

The mill is kinda unavailable for meg now, but i will come back to this within 2-3 weeks :)

The program is not the case here because it happens in every program that uses the same tool two times (not in a row).

To explain some more,

I want to use T1, som milling happens, T2 does...

If i need to use the same tool two times in the program, that should work without any hazzle?

That's not the case. The machine mixes up the tool locations. Maybe missing a parameter?

For a school project i need to do a FEM analysis of a frame that is essentially a marine lift for boats on wheels like this one:

I have searched the web some more and i found this manual that's pretty close:

I found a couple of old programs that were used on the machine...

I need help with the C-axis programming on a Tongtai Topper lathe with Fanuc 18i-TB.
I has live tooling, but i can't seem to find the programming manual so I'm a little stuck.

Can anyone show me...

I'm reverse engineering the W16 engine in a simpler format but i'm missing some info. I need to know the angles between the crankpins from one end to another or if i have had the firingorder i could...

How do you find the diameter of the piston ring groove?

9/10 of the piston diameter or something like that?

I suppose you can go higher with bigger pistons since the ring is more springy when...

Hmm, 12-14mm is the best i can do in this engine. Like i said in the other thread it's very limited space on this engine. Maybe i will post a thread about it.

It's not a project in the making but...

Thanx guys :-)

Always help to get on this forum. Now i can continue with the modelling without changing the basic structure of the engine.

Two valves per cylinder. How big should the inlet and outlet port be?
Cylinder volume if about 40-50ccm

Don't need racing specs here. Just want it to be reasonable :-)

Nikasil coating is not a option because it's so expensive.

The liner must have I.D of 40mm and a O.D of 43-44mm som i seem to have made myself a problem here and i would preferrably not change the...

I'm currently making some drawings of an engine but it's a tight squeeze between the bores because of the cylinder setup.

So i'm wondering if it is possible to use maybe chrome moly tube as...

I don't know if i understand you correctly.

The magazine is vartical with the tools situated horisontal out from the pots. When the tool swings down there is a little plate that touches the sensor...

Solved the problem.

There was an endswitch under the cover that protects the toolchange system that was hanging. Cleaned it an moved it a little closer to the piece that activates it. All good :)

Thank you for the link!
Very explaining :):)

By sub-spindel i mean rotary tools of course. Sorry, bad language of me there :)

I mean live tooling, that might be called M spindel. I don't realy know the english name for it :)
