Looking for a postprocessor for a daewoo lynx 200L 2 axis lathe running fanuc 21T. Its a year 2000 lathe.
Currently using a post for fanuc 21iT which is for turn mills, and gives me a lot of...

Give SprutCAM a look. Powerful and relatively inexpensive.

Does anyone know of a post processor for a Haas VM2 . I have Sprut 7 and Sprut 8

cheers

These are indexable, I have used these boring head bars with good results

In the past using Sprut7 I was always able to generate tension compression long hand tapping code with the appropriate 10% feed modifications, bottom dwell and rotation reversal. Now using Sprut 8...

Good idea, but what operation would you use in Sprutcam for plunge milling?

slot at .0375 depth, 5100RPM, 50 IPM, plunge at 15 IPM

Here you go...

The problem with the spindle drive was not related to the part I was cutting, the speed variation had no pattern and would happen even if cutting air. All is well now. Here's a PDF of what I was...

Problem solved with the help of Tormach tech support, clean lugs J1-1 and J1-2 at the control board, which are the connections to the speed control sensor.

Another problem happening late on Friday, so no call to Tormach 'till Monday.

While doing a contour finish cut on aluminum with a 1/8 2 fl carbide cutter set at 5100 RPM and feed of 14 and...

Set your Z to the center of rotation, then set your safe height to the maximum radius of your work piece + .1 or there abouts.

Here is the final operation Gcode that is responsible for all this...

cheers

The G code posted is absolute and the final A axis move is correct in the G code. Sprutcam simulates the program correctly and each step of the simulation corresponds to the G code location. I...

[QUOTE=philbur;1232642]Could the error not also originate in the CAM application. What CAM are you using. After all it's the CAM that does the number crunching, MACH just does what it's told.

I...

Yes that seems a likely assumption. I am using G code generated by Sprutcam using rotary machining technology with a spiral step and very small stepover to achieve a good finish. It seemed to be the...

Absolutely! But these things always happen on weekends...

cheers

Ok, I've performed the two steps you suggested, 250 rotations to A 90000 and then back to 0. both performed excellently, the rotary table always ending on exactly 0 degrees as well as I can determine...

I do not understant what you mean by "it thinks 0 is actually the rotational error".[/QUOTE]


What I meant is exactly what you say I should do to test the rotary table. At the end of it's run (...

I believe they are set by G90, so absolute, but I'll double check.
thanks

I have a project in stainless 303 based on a 3 inch length of 5/8 round stock.
It has some features such as holes and a flat surfaces in the first inch or so, the rest is pretty much a complex...

Scott,

SprutCAM also has a key mapping for Alibre, but unfortunately that one doesn't seem to work, at least not in the Builds I have tried so far.

If Live is follow this thread, maybe he could...

I use Rustlick WS 5050 soluble oil in a manual lathe, which when diluted with water turns a milky blue. I have used it for many years, got soaked with it often and never developed any allergies, but...

I've been using the Tormach synthetic coolant (Premier 600) as a flood coolant, for quite a while. It performs well as advertised. I've added an air bubbler to the tank to keep anaerobic bacteria in...

You might want to look at the "stepover type" in the parameters and make sure its not on " on surface" , which takes the smallest time per operation, but can screw you up if you have multiple...

You can use SC7 with the new dongle. There is a file on the install disk called STRegister7, you need to take that file replace the file of the same name found at C:\ProgramData\Sprut...

Continued the saga with SC8, I am encountering big problems with simulation performance. Whenever a new operation is added or if one just switches between the simulation and machining, or any other...

Mike, the sensor interfaces with the control computer through a USB port.

Bobeson, If and when we offer the system for sale, we would offer our plans for the spindle clamp, which by the way mounts...
