Hi Guys
does anyone know what would happen if I changed a 21 capacity carousel to a 30 capacity carousel in the SETP parameters?

would the control have a hissy fit, and just alarm out, or would...

Hi ianagos

Thank you for your very quick response and the info. it contains.

It has been the better part of 25 years since I used the probe system on a Fadal, and most of the know-how has...

Hi All

One of the Fadal 4020's I use, is fully equipped with a Renishaw MP12 and TS27 probe system, but it has been turned off. Does anyone know how I can power the probe system up again? I also...

thank you for your reply fizzisist,

the 45 is pretty much what i have been doing, though i will try the extra pass as you suggest

thanks again

hi all

when screwcutting/threading on a cnc lathe, what is the optimum chamfer to generate prior to cutting the thread? would it be 45 degrees, or half the thread's included angle or whatever? i...

hi guys

no alarm number shown. just an e-stop. the control is an 18T

happened several times today, as i was developing the program to automatically position the tailstock, without using the...

hi dcoupar

thanx for your reply.

i did not get an alarm number. the machine went into an e-stop state and i had to powerdown and completely reboot it.

the microswitch had been removed at...

hi all

re: daewoo puma 350m /fanuc 18t

does anyone know if the microswitch for the tailstock traverse pin is set normally open or normally closed?

i have just replaced the missing switch...

hi

my Daewoo 350M with 18T is as follows:

M88 low pressure spindle clamp
M89 high pressure spindle clamp
M90 unlock spindle clamp

hope this helps

hi g-codeguy

the 9000 series are also used by renishaw probe macros for part measuring/setting etc.

initially, i was wondering if there was/is a specific function assigned to each 9000 number,...

many thanx, dcoupar, for that information.

i think i am beginning to see the light

hi all

i have a question regarding 9000 series programs.

i run a daewoo puma 350m 3 axis lathe, with a fanuc 18t controller. the machine's build date is 2000

my question is, do the 9000...

hi mhed

yes, i have tried G12.1/G13.1 and G112/G113. the machine produced a vaguely 6 sided figure, but i guess it could not really be described as a hexagon. if you could post that macro i'll...

hi all

i run a Daewoo 350M lathe. basic 3 axis machine, X,Z and C with live tooling in 6 of the 12 turret stations, Fanuc 18T controller. the machine was built in 2000.

i want to use polar...

i would not have thought 750 rpm too fast for a 1/4 inch tap.
what z depth are you tapping?
check the parameters in your G84 block, i have not done any machining center tapping for a few years but...

Hi All

tried again today to fix this. it just does not work for me at all, despite what the haasman says.
so i wondered about the software version, and contacted haas about it.
[i have version...

hi Gar :wave:

everything is in abeyance here as the machine i had booked for today has broken down, and haas uk won't get someone here before friday, so i have been unable to experiment...

aha, at least you have a description, which is more than i have...

i have 4 haas vertical machining centeres. the first 2 were purchased in 1998, with macro option as a cost option, the second 2...

thanks Bluesman

that info helps some, as my manual has nothing about m109 at all.

regards

axis

Hi Gar

thanks for your response.

you pretty well have it figured. the macro option needs to be active to use M109, and it allows for the operator to key in responses, like y/n for yes or no...

Hi Guys

has anyone ever used the Haas code M109? i have been trying the code below [from the Haas question man], but just get error 331. the manual just says 'range error-number too large' which...

i used the a2100 controllers on cincinnati maxim hmc's up till about a year ago. i found them to be excellent, though a bit idiosyncratic to start with. they have a huge range of features. once you...

partmaster from dolphin systems might be worth a look. it's not too expensive. hundreds of $ rather than thousands.

good luck!

axis

thanks for the reply

i tried the WAIT command, but to no avail.

the best i have managed to achieve, is altering the place where the alarm occurs. the uk fadal agents have as yet not been able...

this problem is simple. the solution may not be...

one of our 4020's has a pallet changer. i have coded

many thanks to you all for your help with this topic. i have sucessfully resolved the issue.
for a much more complex problem, take a look at my new thread 'probing and pallet changing.

thanks...

strange that, Chris. our old 4020/mp32 has serial engraving as standard. i guess that's the cost of keeping the $ down :eek:

thanks for your quick response. i know the baudrate is ok, as the command cd,6 has to be input before communication. as the other settings are correct, i will make no changes. i guess that leaves the...
