I am a cutting tool sales rep. trying to assist a customer with this problem. I will be in front of his machine next Wednesday and will have access to the program. I have never used a G94 for...

Very clear deadlykitten. We have had success locating the .SSB file. Thank you for all of your help!

Next problem. I want to slow the parting tool feed rate from .015" ipr to .007" ipr .150" away...

I tried searching in two locations.. only produced .min extensions. I'm thinking I'm simply not looking in the right location. I even tried with the "key switch" (edit lock/unlock) turned off and...

Thank you for your response Superman. I tried searching for OTRAN and came up empty. Unfortunately, all I can see in my program directory are files with the .MIN file extension. I don't see any .LIB...

I have never programmed an Okuma lathe before and could use some help finding a particular subroutine file so I can edit the SFM on a parting tool.

The subroutine line reads as such:
CALL OTRAN...

To the best of my knowledge, doosan mecatec and doosan infracore were two separate machine tool builders. They were integrated in 2007, Infracore taking on the poorly mismanaged mecatec line.

Have you tried the M250 maintenance mode to index your turret with the door open? Keep relay 51 bit 0 set to 1 will turn it on. Command M250 from MDI with the door closed, open the door and the...

As I am sure you may already be aware, you can by-pass the interference zone by commanding an M110 prior to going into the zone. I do know how to shut them off, but don't know how to manipulate them...

I think we have now entered into the twilight zone.........

MD Tooling makes what you are asking about for the 2000SY. You wouldn't necessarily have to use a spring loaded holder. You can use the machine's
G300 torque control to handle the positioning and...

I have had the same experience as G code guy with the work offset being set incorrectly if I don't use the "tool measure" button. Parameter 5005 bit 2 set to a 0 allows the direct input of tool...

Nice machine, I have ran a couple of them. Keep in mind, the live tooling is only 5 Hp, so don't expect it to behave like a machining center in regards to milling. The Eppinger tooling is sweet, and...

I suggest you look in the blue book in your electrical cabinet and find keep relay 10 bit 3. if you make bit 3 a 1, this should allow the "inactive" spindle to "freewheel" while the "active" spindle...

Hello all,

I would like to drill two holes of different diameters (.187" and .339") simultaneously on a Puma 2000SY using the Fanuc B axis control function. I would like to have a drill facing...

You will need communication software to do this. Check out this link. http://www.soft3k.com/easyDncXP-p1024.htm. You will need an RS232 cable wired with the correct pinout. Fanuc should be able to...

I am not certain, but you may be getting a "write protect" alarm. Make sure you have the particular work offset active that you are trying to set. You can tell what work coordinate is active by...

I like to use the second reference point for tool changes. You must set this up in system parameter 1241 before using. There may be currently zeros there, so please don't call the G30 U0.W0. until...

You may want to try commanding an M31 before the M69 for the chuck unclamp. This is an interlock bypass that might allow the chuck to unclamp in the condition that you describe. When you said...

The Puma 280 is one of my personal favorites at the Doosan dealer I work for. It is a work horse of a machine and very reliable. I have seen customers cut diameters as large as 16" (.100" depth of...

Found this lathe below on the website above under used machinery. Not sure what the asking price is. You can call 1-803-359-7000 ext. 104 and give them the UD29753...

I spoke to Fanuc yesterday and asked them the very same question, and was told that there was no way to fluctuate spindle rpm while turning. I have had good results reducing chatter by increasing my...

This .pdf should prove to be helpful.

You can only interpolate with X and C when in G12.1. Try posting Gibbs without the G12.1, in other words, one line at a time. The program will be long, but it should work. Keep in mind, once you get...

Oh yes,

You may want to place an indicator on the turret slot where your stick tools rest, move the X axis to take a reading. It should be out no more than .0005" in the distance of the tool slot....

If you check the front of the blue book that is on the eletrical cabinet door, there should be spec sheets that show what accuracies the machine was at prior to leaving the factory. If your machine...

If the proximity switches get to be a pain, I usually shut off the keep relay that controls them. It should be keep relay 8 bit 7. Please check in the blue book on the electrical cabinet door (unless...

The pie jaws are aluminum as well, and I don't think you will have any scarring or deformation to your part, as you will turn the pie jaws OD to fit the ID of the part that you are machining. I don't...

Hi Rags,

You may want to try pie jaws to totally incapsulate the part when machining. I think the 15" chuck should be fine, but the pie jaws seal the deal. Here's a link you can check out. You can...

Our quote shows the K-N-15B1 Kitagawa 15" N type closed center chuck as the largest chuck, but I saw a 21" chuck on Kitagawa's website with an A2-8 spindle nose. Our quote does not include the price...

if this V400 is a Mecatec machine, please keep in mind that Doosan Mecatec is now out of business. Doosan Infracore (Daewoo) has closed Mecatecs doors (corporate buyout I think). Parts may have to...
