    Long story short, I made a stupid mistake while placing the punch on an autoindex station of our CNC punch machine. Learning from my own mistake, I realize now that unlike the other stations where...

    Handling "stripping failure" alarm

    This question is two-sided. Regarding stripping failure the operating manual says:

    "Confirm that the punch is not stuck in the worksheet. The operation can then be resumed by pressing the "START"...

    Re: Turret station can not be found Amada Vipros

    So, I finally found out how to correct this issue. For our particular CNC which is a Fanuc 18i-PB, the procedure is documented on the operator´s manual B-63684EN/01 under tool function and tool...

    Re: Turret punch repositioning

    I understand. We will implement the table extensions for safety when using repositioning. I also noticed our program uses G25 instead of G27 to reposition by default. I will need to check that too...

    Re: Turret punch repositioning

    Yes, that´s what I meant. The 50 mm "free zone" are reserved for the clamps.

    Being realistic, it is hard to make a sheet metal give more than 70 to 80% yield, most of the time we find ourselves...

    Re: Turret punch repositioning

    2500x1270 mm (98.43 x 50") is the "logical" size, while the maximum sheet size is 5000x1270 mm (196.85"x50").

    Turret punch repositioning

    Hello everyone. Once upon a time -not so long ago- we had a CNC supplier who insisted on leaving 50 mm free space on the sheet border so that the clamps would not interfere with the punch itself....

  14. Regrinding tools: shims vs "Tooling Data" parameters

    The standard way to offset the material lost in each new tool grinding (or after every "n" grindings at least) is to use shims to accommodate both punch and die heights.

    However, modern machines...

    Re: Turret station can not be found Amada Vipros

    I agree. It would be very strange that the encoder was faulty for only one station. I believe the most likely issue is that the CNC is giving the wrong information.

    Do you have any idea where to...

    Fanuc spindle motor wrong position

    We have a Amada CNC turret punch machine. Turret position is driven with a Fanuc alpha i sv 20/20 controller, and A06B-0033-B077 servomotor. The turret is divided in 34 stations.

    It all works fine...

    We occasionally get this alarm while homing the turret. The process of homing the turret seems to involve both homing the auto-index stations and the turret itself.
