Thanks for your answer, clear as usual. Hopefully I will not need the forklift :)
The oil change shop I usually go to when the time comes has one guy do the job and another guy check everything...
This question is two-sided. Regarding stripping failure the operating manual says:
"Confirm that the punch is not stuck in the worksheet. The operation can then be resumed by pressing the "START"...
Thanks for your feedback.
We have a Fanuc 18I-PB controller in our Amada punch press. I have read about an (I believe) addon tool which can be enabled on those controls that have them or eventually added to them but they are...
So, I finally found out how to correct this issue. For our particular CNC which is a Fanuc 18i-PB, the procedure is documented on the operator´s manual B-63684EN/01 under tool function and tool...
Once again you have been very helpful. I appreciate it.

I understand. We will implement the table extensions for safety when using repositioning. I also noticed our program uses G25 instead of G27 to reposition by default. I will need to check that too...
Yes, that´s what I meant. The 50 mm "free zone" are reserved for the clamps.
Being realistic, it is hard to make a sheet metal give more than 70 to 80% yield, most of the time we find ourselves...
2500x1270 mm (98.43 x 50") is the "logical" size, while the maximum sheet size is 5000x1270 mm (196.85"x50").
Hello everyone. Once upon a time -not so long ago- we had a CNC supplier who insisted on leaving 50 mm free space on the sheet border so that the clamps would not interfere with the punch itself....
Thanks for your help. Your explanation regarding die shimming is perfectly clear and I had not noticed the fact that different die heights when they are close to each other might affect quality of...
The standard way to offset the material lost in each new tool grinding (or after every "n" grindings at least) is to use shims to accommodate both punch and die heights.
However, modern machines...
Yes. The restart function is not available on our machine apparently.
I did try this though: I selected the "TEST" button and pressed start. When I got to the point where I meant to stop I pressed...
Thanks for your help. I am sorry for not answering this sooner, but the user manual of our machine does not refer to the GOTO instruction at all, so I figured it would not be possible for this code...
Thanks for your answer. I needed to read this exactly because since I have started in this new job recently I could be missing something.
There seems to be (not available in my machine) an M98 an...
So, I ran into this problem today. In the middle of a job, one of the air hoses that drives the clamps got loose, so I stopped the machine and then manually closed the air input valve. I went ahead...
Yes, the controller is a Fanuc 18i-PB.
I just double checked by running a small program 34 times -while changing the station number- that besides the T330 station the rest of the stations are...
I agree. It would be very strange that the encoder was faulty for only one station. I believe the most likely issue is that the CNC is giving the wrong information.
Do you have any idea where to...
As I said, we bought this machine second hand. So I am not 100 % sure this did ever worked but from how the die holder looks,I´m pretty sure it did. However, after buying it we had an issue with the...
I am afraid it is not the case... It´s a second hand machine.
And Amada service is reluctant to come because this machine was actually not sold by them, they were not representatives at the time...
Hello Algirdas, thanks for your feedback. I do not understand what you want me to do.
This is the mini-program I am running for testing:
G90;
X2400. Y1100. T330;
G50;
G50 is actually not...
They do, I think. I must confess we are still newcomers into this business so we have not really used them all still.
I have kept on doing some further research and I think that either the encoder...
We have a Amada CNC turret punch machine. Turret position is driven with a Fanuc alpha i sv 20/20 controller, and A06B-0033-B077 servomotor. The turret is divided in 34 stations.
It all works fine...
If I try to use station T330 in our Vipros 2510C I get a shotpin error followed by a WDT error.
With the turret table rotating clockwise our turret has :
....
T328
T229
T330
T231
....
I had a similar issue on our Vipros 2510C, I will share what I learnt, maybe it helps.
In our case the message on the screen was actually RDV AMP ALARM, but from what I learnt they are both...
Sounds logical . Actually at least as of our current setup we have a 30x3 tool in the autoindex station which cuts the perimeter of the parts, so it is usually the last station we use.
I will give...
We occasionally get this alarm while homing the turret. The process of homing the turret seems to involve both homing the auto-index stations and the turret itself.
What happens on the occasion...
:)
Thanks once more for your advise.
