The reporter is in the new version of GIBBS (64 bit). Works fine.

1.6, Works great.

Have you tried M84?

How much?

GIBBS and Solidworks.

I have The plugin. I am running the newest version of GIBBS. It isn't working yet (two years later). Last time I talked to Renishaw (about three months ago), They agreed it is a bug in there end. No...

I have the 18i on a new FADAL. My tool call has to be M6 T#. Where are you alarming out at, what line? Line # 5 shouldn't be there. At least not like that. Add a G28. But when you make a tool...

Dude? Why Are you YELLING??

When I upgraded from 07 to 09, I had to remove 07 first.

I have it a on disk. I'll see if I can fine it. I'll let you know tomarrow.

I have a Fadal with the 18i. I had the same errors 410-411, it turned out to be a bad scale on my X. (I have scales and encoders) don't know if that matters.

Why? The control keeps track. If you want to know what tool is in what pocket, look at the tool manager.

I bought mine at Office depot last week

I have a post for for fanuc 18-i/ Gibbs. But it is for a Fadal. If you can use it let me know.

No, on my mill I ridgid tap only. Now I do use compression holders on my Lathe. Even on it, 1500-2000 with no prblem.

Try looking for a battery on your board. Maybe you have a epromm or cmos that stores user input info.???? Like on a PC, if the battery goes dead you lose your date and time.

The machine that I am running (2007), will tap 1/4-20 at 5000 rpm with no problem. It will most likely go the full rpm's (10000) but I don't see the need.

I think air would be a better choice.

not sure but I don't think 50 ton will come close

I use the FADAL 4525 VMC With a FANUC 18i control and a HWACHEON HI-TEC 300 Lathe (slant bed) with the FANUC control. Great Machines. The VMC also has a refer chiller for the ball screws and spindel,...

Sounds to me that is your problem. I don't know any thing about your control, but it sounds like there is already an offset in you control for a touch off when you set your Z, maybe .3??? If you are...

If you have thought about going back with the "powder coat" (best choice), there is a company that sells complete kits (gun, power-supply,prep supplies ect.). It may even be cheaper than Stainless...

SolidWorks and Gibbs. Great Tech support (Great training also if needed). As far as file transfer's, I use the FANUC Data server and the FANUC 18i on my machines with CAT-5 cable and a FTP. PC's are...

You are right about that, (backing off with the cross slide). But, even with a neg. rake there is still a small amount of tool deflection when you make a cut. So runing in reverse will cause the tool...

I think runing your lathe in reverse wil break the tip of your tool.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply. Like I said, "just for curiosity". And you are right about the "Talkers". I will never say that I know every thing about CNC or Software. If a person isn't able or willing to...

Oh, if your using a FANUC control set your R value to 3 times the pitch. The spindle needs a couple revs sync. with the Z feed.

Sounds like you need to run M84 in MDI. Thats the spindle cali. Just cycle start it and let it go (15-20minutes)
