Tail stock. Easy fix, don't bother calling a tech.

PM'd you.

Seems the quill problem mentioned in my other post is causing it, changed the quill relay and it released the override.

We have been having intermittent problems with our machine overriding the radipids to max 25%. We usually intermittently had problems in the days following tailstock use. I'm aware that the machine...

The issue was fund that the control is outputting a quill advance, even when not prompted. I changed the relay that set the tailstock to automatic, and was able to move the tailstock for now until...

Looking to see if anyone knows the keep relay number and bit for the puma 240 (2004) tail stock base clamp/unclamp? I'm having an issue where the machine does not want to release the clamp, and I'd...

Our puma is 1/8 npt.

The rotary union inside the turret is out of position or the seals are leaking. What type of turret is on the machine ? Bmt, vdi or standard non live?

I'll check on the price, but I'm never going to buy a Haas.

I need the part to rotate at a specific rate, cutting slots around a cylinder. This is acess to tighten a nut onto a stud that extends into the slot.
Currently I have a 2.5D program that produces a...

Do you have a suggesgion ?

No, I have to spend 4K for the servo interface.
I likly will be using a lower budget 3 jaw chuck .... if you think I will get decent results out of it. I don't need +/- .001 on changeover. I have...

Some Spec's for you.

As you can see it is quite tall, but not long or wide, so it is not getting into the way of my X Y axis motion, very little table overhang.

The VH-225 has a 1.60" though...

Update...

Thanks for the reply. You are correct I was mis quoted by my sales rep that the rotary had no through hole, looks like I'm going with a larger unit that the VH165 to get the required...

We've decided to retrofit 4th axis to our Fadal EMC, and are looking at our options for a rotary table.

One of the requirments is that the table have a through hole, and my understanding is the...

No, I'm running one offset, and telling gibbscam how far the vises are apart, I machined the sides so they're consistant that way, and faster to setup, only have to find 1 datum rather than 2 (for...

Gibbs uses E1 as the fixture offset 1.

Gibbs modify's the X,Y co-ordinates to move to the 2nd location, rather than running two fixture offsets (in this case).

Now it gets weirder ...

I...

We just got another vise for our mill. GibbsCAM we work with, allows the program to be run in multiple positions, with the distance between the vises input into the post.

When I select 'Full Up'...

At high RPM its constant. at low RPM I'm getting a cyclic sound, and when it turns the spindle off at low rpm there is a quick 'whrr' that wasn't noticible before. Sounds bearing related to me.

We have a 2005 Fadal EMC, when getting into the 6K+ RPM range, I can hear what I can only describe as ringing - sort of the ringing you'd get in your ears after a loud concert coming from the...
