As you have checked the power side over on the drive and it checks out ok I would get another top board for it..a 10 minute install and you are back and running!!

I recommend getting a Fanuc 6 Maintenance manual and operators manual to start with. The BMU will be fine as it's magnetic memory and not battery backed. All your parameters and part programmes are...

'Hi Gary,
yes i've tried more than one finish pattern it seems to do better if you take a .005 cut rather than remachining to the same depth.so far isoline works best i guess i need to do a smaller...

Hi not sure if this has been mentioned as this is a long thread!!
The Hermle C50 U has a mineral cast base. This is a seriouse cnc mill with upto 60kw spindle power and 2 tonne max table load!! ...

Hi,
I have a Bridgeport Horizontal with Fanuc 6m. The 4th axis needs a rebuild but it seems i may be better off upgrading to a direct drive system ie. Torque motor attached directly to the table...

I am trying to repair my Beaver VC35 after the x axis ran away upon switch on.

I've had both cards repaired, the stack card and the position card but when I got round to refitting them the servo...

Hi,
This is a DC permanent magnet motor, I have them on my Beaver cnc mill with Fanuc 6M control. Normally they use 6RB20 Dc chopper feed drives. Also found on older cincinnati cnc lathes and mills....

Cutter comp is a nice programming tool with Featurecam Mike. If the "part line program" box is checked and cutter comp is enabled in the post options box it will revert the cutter path back to the...

Featurecam only uses cutter comp for finish passes. The roughing cycle just comps the tool over dependent on the diameter you have set in your Featurecam tool library. This means that the D...

Hi,
Has anybody used the Tombstone machining option in Featurecam?
I've used it but found it didn't give the correct index clearance figures. Tried everything to solve it but the clearence would...

Any body tried the Matsuuras, they seem to specialise in HSM 5 axis machines , some with pallet change too.

I'm looking at making some vise slides that will be dowelled and bolted to an aluminium tombstone. I was thinking of using tool steel then getting it hardened and ground.
Noy sure which material is...

Kool Parts one reason for not using a 50 taper can be the need for high spindle speeds. I think normally 50 tapers can go upto 15000rpm but above that it becomes a problem getting the chuck...

I've seen chainrings being made for bicycles out of a 1 meter lenth of aluminium round bar. The whole bar was hobbed then the rings were sliced off with a horizontal band saw and finished machined on...

Hi,
Like Fastoles I use a horizontal(Bridgeport BPC320) and find using the centre of the pallet as my work zero works the best in most cases.
The total Z distance I have from machine zero to the...

Thanks Dave,
I also have two Bridgeport BPC 320's with 6MB, there really nice to use as the 6 control can be made to do just about anything with a bit of patience!
The Lathe isn't wired up yet so...

Ok Dave,
Should have checked this! I've just bought an Hitachi- Seiki 4NE11 with 6T .
It says in the manual that for reference point return and back lash comp the parameters are 012. Reading from...

Hi David,
In the Fanuc manual it explains how to set the ratio of measurment to distance moved.
It is done on initial machine build and would be unusual for this to need changing as its not...

Hi,
Could you set the work zero at the chuck (G54/59) then all your figures will be positive working back from the chuck along the workpiece if you are programming in absolute (G90) during the...

Hi,
I have two BPC 320's with Fanuc6MB. The second one is being reconditioned by myself..New Z-axis rails and disc springs on the table and spindle.
Just out of interest these were made by Yasda...

Thanks Gary, I must say I've only known Featurecam to throw a glitch once during a pattern set up. It would chamfer the first part then move to the next without retracting and gouge the waist stock!...

:confused: Hi everyone! I have used Featurecam at my last job but could never get it to do 4th axis wrapping. I found it produced angular and feed movements to 4 decimal places and the fanuc 6mb...
