Ask a vague question, get a similar answer.
What dia is the bearing and how far out is it?
Is the spindle stepped or basically the same dia along its length?
Using a chuck or collet?
What...
Like the others have mentioned already, shifting your Z start point for the thread will do it.
But multi-start threads can be programmed using the C axis which is handy if you don't have the space...
you mean .SDF?
run schedule program?
I don't want to stray from gremac's original question too far here.
We all know what the okuma's can and can't do.
I think a huge part of a customers impression of a machine is how well they are...
The WFL machines look awesome! I would LOVE to have one.
This shop I think will be avoiding any more Okuma machines for a long time.
Our MA400H (E100) is a weapon, but the Mac 250W and Multus B300W...
Hi guys.
NZ2000 T2Y2
Noticed this morning after setting up a repeat job, that there appear to be dwell marks evenly spaced on the face and OD of the part being m/c'd on spindle one.
They are...
Got a heat gun or an oxy set?
A little heat is great for releasing things.
You don't even need a live centre.
I've used a bit of scrap turned into a dead centre (we don't have a pipe centre).
Turning and milling worked fine.
what is the alarm?
Thanks Blue1. That's interesting because it still doesn't match what I'm using. #5263 for me, but you suggest #5262 . I had several phone calls with Alan Clinch prior to my original post, and he was...
Hi All,
I have just had my first go at using variables in a Fanuc program.
The part required me to shift the Z offset for consecutive parts.
One of the Sys Variables I ended up using left me...
Bummer.
If this is a new drill that you haven't much experience with, I would suggest running it simply as a replacement for your cobalts, using your original process (with correct cutting data for...
You would be surprised what you can get away with, speed/feed wise.
I used to machine cast disc rotors using a 30mm u-drill while turning od (280mm) and facing (280mm-105mm).
Most attention is...
No, but I've noticed on our NZ that rapiding from Z axis home to either spindle (about 300mm) takes the same time using 100% and 75% override.
The distance is too short for it's acceleration.
I...
THWACK!
That's the sound of all the guys involved with CE recoiling in horror.
Thanks for response guys,
the info gives me some specific places to look at now.
The machine has not been crashed, but was completely rebuilt after going for a swim, so maybe some misalignment...
Hi guys,
When changing over tools on the top turret I've noticed metal particles (like needles and glitter) in the oil that pools within.
Looking at the mill drive itself appears ok.
But the track...
Our MA400H recently had its flood damaged floppy replaced with the Okuma USB floppy emulator.
It works fine.
The system is set up to emulate 100 floppy drives.
The supplied USB memory was a...
why not put an undercut (groove) at the start?
what is a "one directional" thread anyway?
you can use a simple subroutine with common variables to step out in dia and length for each revolution...
good lateral thinking!
Here's an extract from an Okuma manual.
You didn't mention that you had looked through one.
Just what you use every day.
When you partoff, do you push again to a stop, or is it already at the correct length to start the next part?
So far all the jobs we've done have been pushed to a...
You may want to lengthen or shorten the bar length that you load into the barfeeder.
As mentioned by underthetire, you need to be gripping in the 1st spindle to part-off your last part.
On next...
What brand/model barfeeder are you using?
We have an LNS Move S2.
There are many parameters that need to be set if you're using a similar style machine.
Overall feed length, Topcut position,...
"I have been able to get head1 and turret 2 to start at same time but t2 waits at end of cut for h1 to finish that cut and both start at same time for next cut. Not reducing cycle time that way."
...
ditto txcncman.
best practice would be to start each tool in a state that YOU have set.
You'll need to ensure the tool has one insert/flute inline with notches in the holder (for the spindle dog). Then put the tool into the magazine oriented so that the insert/flute is pointing down...
thanks for the constructive tip, so glad yours wasn't another useless response.
I prefer to use the expensive options my employer paid for, rather than have anyone using the machine make a silly...
