I am needing to replace the linear bearing blocks on my Mazak VTC200b. I have replaced the Y axis with blocks I bought thru BoschRexRoth last year. Does anyone know a cross ref # for these thru...

Check out MSCdirect.com. I use their ACUPRO line for all our alum cutting. 3 flute, ZrN coating. Have yet to find anything better. BTW, we tried the YG1's against the ACUPRO's............no contest....

I am looking at buying a 2011 HAAS VF-2 with the 30,000rpm spindle. Has approx 4000 hours and has a TR210 4/5 axis table. Anyone know of any common issues? Things to look for? Good machine? Bad...

I manage the machine shop at my company. We are going thru some changes and would like to get other peoples ideas or procedures for something. Upper management here wants to stop filing shop floor...

Does anyone have any canned cycle or way of serializing on a Mazak mill? Is there a canned cycle similar to the Lxxxx canned cycle that Fadal has?

Hi GACH,
Did you ever find a post for your Haas live tooling lathe? We just bought an ST10-y and use Surfcam. Surfcam is wanting to charge us quite a bit to write us a post, and then wants to...

We just got our new Haas ST10-y in a couple of months ago and the posts in surfcam work almost perfect...........for 2 axis, just not for live tooling / Y-axis. I would like to see if anyone out...

Sorry, I mis-spoke about our maintenance. We had transfered ownership of the 5 axis 2 years ago and did not renew THAT seat last year, last maintenance on the other seats was in 2007. I just took...

I currently manage the manufacturing for our company. We have 3 seats of Surcam2002/2002Plus. We also have 1 seat of 5 axis 2002 that we aquired on a buy of a local machine shop. Our design dept is...

How do I set the positions of the reference points to use G30. Manual says find M5 M6 and M7 parameters. I am getting a large 4th axis setup going and I need a safe ref point to go to for my tool...

I have had similar issues with my Nexus 410 and 200B. There are batteries that support the tool mag. I was told by Mazak service they are only good for about 1- 1-1/2 years. We go to a local...

I am looking for a good condition used 4th axis for my Mazak 200b. Must be 200 volt version. My machine has driver and cables, only need 4th axis unit. Would like a 7-8 inch face.

Here is a "not scale" example of the installation

Actually, the hole you will be drilling should be a slight slip fit for the barrel and the crush ring is only about .0005-.001 larger which locks it in place. The crush ring does not set the height,...

another handy thing to have would be a very small rubber mallet, we use the kind that has the small replaceable faces. We use this to tap the receptacles in with. If you tap the insertion tool with...

The pogos have a "crush Ring" on the socket part (female) that presses into the plate, basically about a .0005 bump on the outside of the socket. There is a really tight tolerence on the hole...

Thanks man! unchecked the "wait for cnc", changed the parity to "even" & it worked. I really appreciate the time you spent helping me on this issue. If you were here closer, I'd have to buy you a...

Screen shot of the predator screen to follow, will not upload at this time.

Cable checks out good.

I will check the cable, it is a new cable though. This is the only machine in which I use the rs232, all others are on ethernet connection. Predator seems to be sending program out.

Nothing, the "in" on the display just keeps blinking. No error message. 1st line of program is "%" 2nd line is program #. Although when the computer reads the downloaded program it drops the "%" sign...

Anybody using surfcam to upload and download to a Kia lathe with a Yasnak control. I have gotten it to download to computer but cannot upload to machine. We are off of our maintanance contract with...

Here is a photo of the unit we were having the drilling problems on. What you see are pogo pins installed thru the 3/8thk G10 plate. This is a test fixture we build that is used to test circuit...

Spot drill to approx .03-.04diameter (material thickness varies across the pattern). 9500rpm, 7.0ipm, .030per peck.

I dont think it was flex. The plate is about 20"x20" and the area to drill is only about 6"x8" and was the only area not supported in the beginning. Material is 3/8thk G10, so I dont think an area...

I think I figured it out. The plate I was drilling is suspended in a picture frame fixture so all thru holes can go thru. I took another pc of G10 material and mounted inside the fixture so it...
