You cannot load any parameters or software from a PC into the Fanuc Powermate.

The Fanuc Powermate control (AR1) in the bar feeder is programmed from a flash memory card inserted in the flash...

Hi Mike

No, I don't know Karl. AFAIK he used to work for Tornos USA. I think he left the company several years ago.

Hi All

I have set up an FTP server to send and recieve programs to and from machines with Fanuc 31i and OiTD controls. Everything works fine transferring the files using a login with a username...

Hi

The alarm 2018 is indicating there is a fault with the spindle motor or the drive. Check the spindle/motor is not jammed.

The alarm AL-06 is coming from the spindle motor drive, it's an...

It will be dependant on bar size and material, but these bushes will tolerate a slightly bigger size deviation than a conventional carbide lined bush. They can be run much tighter than a conventional...

Hi

We use these Habegger roller guide bushes extensively for machining titanium medical parts. They produce very good results and can be run at high speed. One big advantage is that they virtually...

I just checked in the manual. I am not familiar with this machine as it is very old, but the speed and phase angle of the main and pick off spindle should be adjusted with the M18 command in...

Check your pre-roll turned diameter (effective diameter), don't try and get the thread to peak to full form. the thread should be slightly truncated otherwise the stress on the rolls will cause them...

IIRC the cams for the BSA 48 are exactly the same as the CVA 8 .

Hello Ben

Cutting a long thread on stock size bar with full form inserts is always a problem on a sliding head. The G933 threading macro will not do what you want here.

To understand why you...

I think what you have there is an old CVA 8 Mk 1 machine. It looks in a pretty sorry state! From the paint damage and the rusting I would say it has been in a fire. There would have been two metal...

Hi - Yes the machine is a Tornos Deco 20a. This is a job I have to try and optimise for a customer. He is currently standard ISO tooling, roughing with a Sandvik TCMT 110308 and finishing with a...

I need to machine some parts from silicon iron on a sliding head CNC lathe. Anyone here had to machine this material before and can give me some pointers for the best inserts to use? I can't find...

Hi

I worked on these for the best part of 17 years. I think I may have an operators manual somewhere. I can probably help you in some way, what do you need to know about the machine?

The CVA 8...

Hi

I can't explain to you in a post here how the 09918 subroutine works. You first need to understand quite a bit about the Fanuc Custom Macro programming system.

Hi

Looking at the programming manual the M90 command is 'Reduce speed, fine precise stop'

The M91 command is 'Deviation command, block transition with no drop in speed'

M90 is the default...

Hi Dan

The ENC264 is an old machine that I don't know at all, but I will try to help you.

As I understand it you could just alter the wear offset to adjust the size of the part, you could also...

Hi Fred

Send me a PM and we can talk.

Hi Chetan

You did not say what length of thread you want to make, I assume you mean to screwcut? Normally for screwcutting you dont want to exceed the internal land length of the guide bush,...

Hello Chetan

I have sent you a private mail.

Hello

Sorry to hear about your problems with your MultiDeco. I am not exactly sure which battery that is disconnected, I think you mean the small CNC backup battery in the CNC control?

If that...

Hello Hong

I agree with you, it will be a difficult thread to make in Titanium. The type of tool you use will determine your success. Personally I have not made this type of thread in Titanium...

Hello Hong

Yes you can cut this thread with the G933 macro. The most important point with an internal thread is to make sure you set the G933 parameter P15 (maximum mechanical limit in X) to a...

Hi

What machine are you making this part on? If it is the ENC are you using the sub routine O9097?

Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum, but not new to CNC.

I work for Tornos in the UK and I'm happy to try and help with any Tornos related questions/problems. I look in to this forum most days,...

Exactly which model bar feeder do you have?

If it is a Tornos Robobar, which control is it, Siemens or Fanuc?

Hi - Yes it seems you are correct. The parameters for G76 seem the same. I have not tried G76, but I will now.

Any idea what the difference is between G76 and G78?

Many thanks

Hi

I am trying to program the G78 threading cycle on a Fanuc 0i-TD without the proper Fanuc manual. I have the standard 0i-D manual which does not cover the G78.

Please can someone who knows...

Hi

PM me with your e-mail contact details, I may be able to help you.
