jreynolds, with your company being new to CNC Swiss-type, I would ask (more like demand) for a lot of training. Have them throw in 200 hours of on-site training deliverable within a 12 month period....

ENG-CJPC, contact Citizen, they should have a procedure for this. It should be relatively easy.

1. Put dial indicator in sub
2. Jog to guide bushing (without a guide bushing)
3. Indicate along...

55thSwiss, I may have some suggestions, I have about 10 years experience on Deco machines. Attach a drawing or email it to me: [email protected]

Gizmo, I don't think the Citizens have a convertible guide bushing/chucker option. So, you may be thinking of something else to change over when thinking it may take 1-2 hours.

For the Nomura,...

Are you looking just for a text editor with a DNC or software to make the program for you? And, what year & control on your Star's?

Just for the sake of due diligence ( and to keep the Citizen dealer honest) I would get a quote for the Nomura 32XB and compare.

The only thing you lose when going from 32 to 20mm is Main/sub...

jreynolds, If you're looking for true flexibility in set-up & program development, the best choice is going to be Nomura with the Mitsubishi M70 control. You can start mid-program with the Nomura's....

Are you still looking?

I used to write a "centering" program. Something like this:

(close collet)
T0101(USUALLY AS A "JUST IN CASE" I LIKE TO CLEAR THE OFFSET BY CALLING UP A TOOL THAT I AM NOT CENTERING)
G0T0
M3...

On the Genius, when you're cranking the handle to open the channel, the flag/pusher needs to be a little bit forward of it's furthest back position. When you're opening the channel, either manually...

What year machine & Iemca? Some of the earlier "Genius" bar feeds could be quite difficult.

Hey Ben, I would be very curious to see if that's possible. My experience has been that as soon as you hit the reset button, to get into EDIT mode, you're always forced to the beginning of the...

I noticed the machine is for sale in Oregon, is that where your shop is?

Did you buy this machine yet?

It may be in the offset page.

Hard key: offset
Soft key: right
Soft key: WK. SHFT

I think that's where its at but, it's been a couple years since I've been in front of one of those.

Go into the Workshift for Z axis. Then set a negative number. OAL+ Max tool geometry + safety. And put that value in the z axis workshift as a negative number. Then your Z0 will be positioned...

Well that's good. How's the alignment between the sub-spindle and the guide bushing?

MC, on starting mid-program with Fanuc, I was only able to do that on the older machines/controls. Using 18i,21i & 31 I was always forced to rewind/reset the program to the beginning on both...

I'm surprised the Applitec tool is causing problems. I've used Applitec for nearly 15 years and have always had good success.

In this occasion, is that cut-off tool a re-ground tool?

Most Swiss CNC programming are very similar. It just the interface that is different. I know the Mitsubishi control on the Nomura's allow for live editing while the Fanuc control forces you to...

What's the name of your company?

What's your location?

Here's my email: [email protected]

Send me your contact info and machine info. I'll do what I can to have someone help you out.

If you've prepped the bars by turning the end, and it's still coming out, then you have a problem with the barfeed not pushing during machining/collet open etc. Are you certain your barfeed is...
