Looks like no one buys the buckets of **** then.

Hi all

Has anyone here had experience with FAT HACO lathes or mill turn machines. Looking for other peoples experience with the company and feed back.

Cheers

Thanks that work a bunch. Now just have to work out the rest of the coding.

Hi all
Just wondering if there is a way to step though a code wizard post line by line to error trap and check functionality.

Cheers

Thanks a bunch mate, I never would have found that on my own. I just naturally assumed that B was always the first rotary axis. Now I can work out the rest of the nitty gritty stuff with the post....

Nice looking unit! I assume when your doing the 5 axis machining that you are using the TRAORI function. Unfortunately we don't have that activated on ours or as the tech tells me it is a software...

Actually that wasn't the problem I think I explained myself incorrectly. All the data appears to be correct in the simulation window but when I generate the NC code the B axis positions are in the C...

We got training packages with most of the DMG machines that were bought where I work as most of them were purchased brand new or ex-show room models. In saying that DMG I think are a bit of a cagey...

No probs mate, glad it worked for you. We only use a few gildemeister functions such as for bar advance and parts catcher which is only because they aren't available in the standard Siemens shop...

Cheers mate. I'll give that a crack! We have licensed version at work but they stopped there maintenance on it a couple of years ago so I don't think I am allow tech support any more. I have my for...

Here is my latest post I made but the B and C axis get put around the wrong way when I generate code. Maybe there is something simple I have done wrong??

DMG in general have pretty piss weak support here in Australia. I thought maybe it was just us, as in the world of manufacturing I think we are a bit of a backwater. Sounds like there technical...

Here is the program the main bit the activates and syncs the spindles is as follows
N100 SPCON(4)
N105 SPCON(3)
N110 COUPDEF (S3, S4, 1,)
N115 COUPON (S3, S4)

Cheers

Yeah got it sorted. There is a code that I used at the beginning of the program to sync the spindles no matter where they are. Cant remember the code off the top of my head but I'll look it up if...

Ideas anyone??

Here is the post hopefully uploaded correctly.

Hi all,
Have made a post for Siemens 840d controller for our DMF600 and all looks good in code wizard. But when indexing in an Edge cam simulation the head goes way out of position. I am pretty...

Hi all,

I currently running a CTX BETA 1250TC Mill Turn & have a good understanding of the shopturn software and also a good general knowledge of ISO programing on a number of controllers. I have...

Thanks worked it out. Just changed the machine access level to Service and then was able to edit program properties. Now I just have to work it out for an 810d controller. can't seem to find program...

Does your controller have shopturn on it at all or is it all just iso?

Hi, Was wondering if anyone out there new how to make a Shopmill program on a siemens 840d controller write protected or read only so it can't accidently altered. Any help would be much appreciated....

Hi All

I have a problem with a DMG DMU50 Eco 3+2 mill with a Siemens 840D controller. It froze during a load tool cycle and now I can't load or unload tools in or out of the magazine. In the...

Thanks for reply. The version I am using is 2014R2. Do you know if there is a simple way of selecting a silhouette of a model to create the outside profile.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you create & compile a post on edge cam education version, will it work on a licenced version of EdgeCam?

Cheers
scurr

Hi all,

Not sure how to explain this but I want to be able to create a stock from the profile outline of a model. The component I am machining is roughly the 2d size and shape of the model but has...

I can't see EDIT ON anywhere, do you have to log on in manufacture mode?

Cheers
Chris

Wow looks like you got a way better grip on this than I have and doubt that I could offer you any good advice. I'd love to know where you learnt some of your programing. I know a lot of that...

Machine builders generally set there own M codes for these sorts of things even in common controllers. On a DMG CTX 1250 that I use the chuck clamp/unclamp is M412/M413 for S4 M312/M313 for S3. Can't...

Hi Superman. Do you do this in the main library window or in the OEM window or some other place??

Cheers
Scurr

I'm not quite sure what your trying to achieve but have you ever thought of creating your own variables within the controller using a def file as the number of variables could be endless. Or maybe...
