Yep...that's why I wonder about the bi-metal effect with steel on ally.
If I understand it correctly, a metre long piece of ally grows .023 (rough average, depends on grade) for every 1 degree...

Another thing to consider, which I don't believe has been mentioned, is thermal expansion.
Aluminum, having more than double the thermal expansion coefficient of steel or cast iron, will expand at...
I have a gantry-style CNC mill (actually, engraver) which has 2 spindles on independent Z axis but common X&Y axis. It operates as a tool-changer with one spindle doing the roughing and the other...
Anyone know what alarm 34 means on a VAC111?
My manual only goes to alarm 32.

I used to do work for a company, who have several V550T and V550TM machines.
The rapid override does indeed work from the feed override as shown in your pdf. Ie 100%, 50%, 25%, and whatever is...
Two things missing in that PDF file....your PC must have file & printer sharing installed, and the folder you use for the programs must be shared on the network.
Each MTB seems to have their own way of handling this process.
The brand we sell uses the following method:
RIGID TAP (LIVE TOOL-ANGLED)
G97S100;
M28;
G0X?Z?;
G28C0.;
G0C?;
Apparently some people can't be bothered...
You need to create a program for the machine which uses ISO code consisting of a series of address commands. These commands vary depending on what you...
I don't know this machine, but it appears to me that you have commanded the pin to insert when the machine is not in the correct position to do so. Therefore you are not getting confirmation of the...
Your program looks ok, so my guess would be that it is a combination of your tool offsets and the way it handles them.
The older machines were setup to compensate for the tool offset by moving the...
It would be best if you could post a sample of your program so we can check it out.

I believe this is the case with all controls having MGi. The problem is the amount of system resources required to run the 3D view. The machine is just not capable of handling the 3D simulation and...
I would be checking the operation of the feed override switch...G32 should ignore the switch and set feed to 100% of programmed speed. If the override is faulty, or disconnected, it could be telling...
I am having problems getting certain functions on a machine going, and I think it may be related to the Power Mate unit. This unit is A02B-0168-B011, and when the machine is fully powered up, it has...
Or on the Setting (handy) screen, in the box next to I/O channel, type 4 and press input
Can't say that I have ever tried to use radius comp for milling on a lathe. Have you tried using a value in the radius offset with the current program?
AFAIK solid simulation is not possible during operation due to CPU consumption. You can, however, have tool path simulation during operation in the MGi screen by pressing the toolpath softkey.

If it is one of the i series controls, it will most likely be set to use relative in tool offsets. This is the default, and is far more useful then setting it to absolute (can't remember parameter)....
Looks ok to me. My only question would be is the line definitely G0 X0 and not C0 X0 in the machine?
If you have several lines of header, each having an EOB, then you will need to press start for each of these lines in single block mode. A block is a block regardless of what it contains. If it is...
I believe this would most likely be handled by the PLC. At least, it is on all the machines we sell.
My understanding is that you have to write it to F-Rom in order for it to stay in the machine after reboot. Not entirely sure if this is correct for your control or your method of editing, but on...
You may have a button/mode that says 'Tape'. Some MTBs still refer to DNC mode as Tape mode.
Are you trying to index the turret with the tool presetter arm in the down position? A lot of MTBs disable turret index with arm down so the turret can not index into the arm. This usually generates...
Would it not be easier to change the ladder to either open chuck with pedal gives reset signal, or better still, pedal is disabled unless reset signal is active? Either way, the program will be reset...
Do you have a button called Handle Interrupt?
This is behaving exactly like manual absolute is on. What are the buttons that are switched on (lit) in your video? Can you post a picture of the control panel so we can see all the buttons.
Is that price for the whole configuration, or just the Ax2200HS-Fs unit? Otherwise, it is going to be an expensive option. It pretty much mimics the Fanuc data server in functionality, except...
Sounds to me as if manual absolute was switched on. On some machines this allows manual repositioning of the machine without the position being updated. Only machine coordinates update.

Activate it to do what?
The custom screen is usually used by machine tool builders to perform custom functions like tool life management or tool changer troubleshooting. It can also be assigned...
