Hi
No I can`t say that I do . The force is weak in this one . Perhaps a photo or two or a serial number ?

Hi Basswakr
See the attached Jpeg Image. By putting the drawing into 3d view you get the X Y Z trident showing. Lock your tool pathes and select rotate then pick the axis that you wish to revolve...
Hi
Looking at the photos I reckon they are acid etched rather than machined. But that said if I were going to attempt to machine that then i`d go over depth and surface grind it back to the desired...
Hi all
I have a problem with my 5000. I have an error code (s) Modbus Error 15 and at other times it shows up as Error 17 . I have replaced the Modbus cable and changed the connector block as a...
Not noticed anything yet but i am sure there will be issues as things progress.
Being in England we only have to have a half inch of snow & my fellow countryman & women clear the supermarket...
Prefered machine would have to be Susuki GSXR 1000......... If we are talking about CNC then Multicam.
Hi all
Changed the bearings in the Z axis motor on my 5000 as they had seized . Very carefully trying to avoid damaging the encoder on the other end of the shaft.
However now that I have...
My guess would be either a dryjoint on the board or a broken wire. difficult to diagnose without being there.
I`ve read alot of reviews on this forum regarding chinese machines. It seems to be that if you get a good one then you are the lucky one. A number of years ago people were suggesting Chinese machines...
I think you are quite correct. Like I said , "Who is to say that the earths natural state means ice caps " The extreme variations that we have perceived over our short historical record compared...
Whose to say that the earths natural state is to have ice caps ? The brief time we have been on the earth ( And the equally brief time we have been " messing it up" ) is but an geological instant....
There is a function called " show breaks " which you will find in the view tab/display options (looks like two crosses on a broken geometry )
It will put white crosses on your picked geometry where...
Hi Carol
There isn` t a practical way of scaling tool paths in only one plane. I`f you have scanned in a 3D model then i would use that to create the various sizes that you require and create a...
Not necessarily. A machinist would be someone that creates a part or an assembly of parts and does everything from programming/setting the machine through running it .
Where as a machine operator...
Hi Dale. Sorry but I cheated and re drew the parts, It was a simple part (s) to redraw so I did what I knew would work for you.The best way to convert the parts would be to open them in solidworks...
Try this. Sorry trying to attach files.
Thanks alot I will pass that on to the solidworks crew. Thankyou again for your help.
Kindest regards

Hi NSchlee
Thanks for that. Our oldest machine is the MG which is 2002 vintage and one the 5000`s is 2005 and our newest 5000 is 2016. I have tried contacting our vendor but they are not picking up....
Hi all
We are having a new post written for our Multicam Machines by Solidworks solidcam and they need to know what controllers are used? We have An MG Series and two 5000 series
but on opening...
Hi this may not be much help as I don`t use mastercam but I do use alphacam and have had the same problem. My method , although maybe not the best , is I view the tool path closely to see if there...
Hi emrek
Also do you have a post for 5 Axis MAKA KPF334 - Using Alphacam ? Can`t seem to find one anywhere.
Thanks one way or another .
Better out than in :o) Nothing wrong with a good vent , stops you bursting!
It can be an issue that will resolve itself in time. But in that time the personal cost to yourself could be high. All the time you do your job right nobody notices only when something goes...
Also may not be an issue removing urethane foam if you can get it as component parts an add water to the mix . It lowers the density of the foam whilst remaining fairly rigid and of course lighter...
Never tried but it`s an intriguing idea. You don`t mention the thickness of the honeycomb that you are thinking of machining nor the width (thickness of the web upstands ). I think the biggest...
I must disagree
Common sense is for the most part about forward thinking. If you fail to see what you are about to do will have negative consequences then what results is...
Hi
If you have checked the electrical connections in the cabinet then the next thing to look at is the ballscrew. Is it binding ? If you are getting steps when doing a table mill operation it would...
Most definately worth learning. It is pricey but well worth the money. It`s another string to your bow too.I`ve been using it for a year and started from scratch ( With a brilliant tutor in house I...
Hi all
Just a query has anyone out there ever retro fitted a fanuc controller (or any other make ) to a multicam router.
The standard controllers are pretty notchy while transiting through...
Speking of Alzheimers. There is a protest group whose chant is " What do we want ? Don`t know ! When do we want it ? Want what ?????
The only upside is that everything is new !!
