Ah, I failed to mention that it is a 15i or 18i, can't remember offhand, but all of these era Moris were the same I am told. When we try to use the rotary switch settings other than what was set from...

gwarble,

I am really excited to see that there are ppl still discussing this topic, a coworker and I are most interested in learning about using what you and others refer to as "pure Fanuc mode"....

I just tried G31 with the B-axis and it does work, just fine!

Gary

It does not... Yet ;-)

DP,

I've added multiple depth steps, finish pass and it supports G66 modal... it's working great!

The face of the part is getting milled but the sidewalls are not. Also there are features related to the sidewalls so it's much more important to align with it. I ran it several times and it hit the...

You are right, and that is how I first tried it but I got one detail wrong apparently... In my text above you can see that I still did not quite have it right, I said "half-angle", and that is how I...

I just went through the calculations both ways... I see what you mean.
At 5° the X coordinates are approximately 3.969 and 3.125, that produces a difference in the angles of 3.2186° versus halving...

I was reading in the Fanuc manual this morning that you can use G31 in any linear move (from Axis 1 to Axis 20), I think it will still see this as a linear move even though it is a rotary table...

I have a stumper here... hopefully the attached sketch will make this clear. I have a part on the B axis of my Toyoda HMC. I want to probe along the X axis at Z=5" as depicted by the green line both...

Sorry, I just now saw this! Yes, I did anyway, I've changed jobs, but I had a good post while I was there... I think I may still have a copy somewhere. I had the reseller start it and I put the...

Ok, here is what I have learned so far... I have the RS232 in the control cabinet sending programs from the NC side, I keep getting a 071 alarm (or error?) when I try to read in a program from that...

Thanks, I appreciate that...

btw, several times today the control said that I needed to restart MAPPS to activate my changes, how is that done? All I knew to do was shutdown the machine and...

anyone know about this Mori-Server software? I am trying to do as this user suggested and setting up an Ethernet connection but I cannot get my ftp software to work... so it seems this "Mori-Server...

Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand what you are saying, the PC is running the front end and transferring to the Fanuc CNC... about rerouting the cable, I was hoping to avoid that method...

We have two Mori Seikis at work with MSX501 controls and MAPPS, they are configured to to talk to the "local" RS232, I cannot figure out how to get them to talk to the remote RS232, the one(s) that...

if I understand correctly then, Bill, I would do something like:

IF[#5061EQ#5001]GOTO900

First) Is that correct at least in terms of comparing #5061 (X-axis Skip End Point) and #5001 (X-axis...

I just started a new job in May and we are still using Bravo, we're on Bravo8... my job will be to eventually replace it. I have so far, rewritten several of the links and written several macros in...

Thanks Al, that helps a lot, I hadn't considered that the axis may overrun. I will use the Skip Signal Position then as my position to work from.

Gary

Al,

I am assuming that the probe is working properly... my goal here is to make sure that I know I triggered the probe. For instance, let's say I am attempting to measure the width of a slot that...

Al,

This particular control is a Mori MSX-501, I'm new to them, some kind of Fanuc variant?? Or maybe a PC in front of a Fanuc, not real sure of the architecture, but there is a Fanuc control...

I'd like to make the G31 move, then test to see whether or not I actually got the Skip Signal, I can compare the axis position to the commanded position but I'd rather do it more simply and...

We are looking for a horizontal boring mill, I ran across a FEMCO 4" bar machine with a B axis. This type of machine is what I am looking for but I don't know anything about FEMCO other than they are...

Wow, I sure didn't know that! You are exactly right, I looked in the Help menu and the bottom selection is for the Reference Guide, but what I never noticed before is that if I click on the Contents...

I have done a lot of post editing in my time and I have had the benefit of taking a course many years ago from a company called Automation Intelligence for their Intellipost. I have been able to...

Please let me know how it turns out for you. Since I posted this I have gone hog-wild creating custom tools for all of our KM tooling, we have many (like 100!) so I will be at this for a while but I...

Chris,

Check your email for a message from me, ttx336.

Houston, Texas. Ironically I moved here from Rockford last year, we were neighbors. I will email you a picture tomorrow of a previous rotor, it is a beast. It is about 18 feet long, 48 inches is the...

While making some tweaks to a standard grooving tool, the Clearance button next to the Tool Compensation radio buttons in the Define Tool page (right click an existing tool, then choose Edit Tool and...

Yeah, it looks pretty cool actually. Kennametal did a nice job. I did not ralize that we even had these things initially so I designed an insert and contacted Sandvik for a quote. Ultimately they...
