So I guess we are going to cut the shaft down that the knockout pin screws into so we can slide it back farther and then we are going to use really long knockout pins that will go through the...

It's almost like its not hitting the knockout pin but its still alarming. Anyone have any suggestions

ya I like the pneumatic knockout setups better but I'm not the guy with all the money to buy machines so it is what it is I guess. I'm sure those guys at my work will figure it out. I think they are...

to be honest it wasn't really my set up I was just watching over some guys shoulder and I was trying to help him. According to him he had move the rod that connects to the knock out pin all the way...

At my work we have an A20 and we mostly use extended nose collets in the back spindle and it works great. But today we are running smaller material (.125 dia.) and we realized that we couldn't use...

believe me I run things tight so i know exactly what your saying. but there are times when i ran things not so tight it just depended on the job. but that was my old job where i worked for five...

thanks guys

ya i guess all that makes sense. this guy at my work was saying if you tighten the main to much it will wear the fingers out. you ever have that problem?

well sometimes I go to put the machine into the start position. and then you have to push the material up to the back of the part off tool. And if the guide bushing is kind of tight I just engage the...

Hey guys I have a quick question about engaging the C axis on these machines.

Sometimes the material gets really tight in my guide bushing because I'm trying to keep really tight tolerances, and...

Ya I think I was looking at those spindle speed fluctuation codes yesterday but it will have to wait until monday im off until then.

what is H1 and D-2 for?

ya we tried reading the book and tried to do the code like they way they had it in the book but it wasn't really working. I will check all the codes for the machine and see if G150 seems promising or...

both spindles were spinning around 2000 and they stay at that speed. we have G50 set to 8000 so when it picks off and the part off tool goes down to x -.05 and when the back spindle pulls away it...

So I'm running a citizen A20 and we are trying to use G96 when picking off to use Surface feet per minute to try.

When it goes to pick off the spindle rpm syncs up with the back spindle and the...

I ended up going into the OPR screen and turning on the core option and then I was able to use the regular core function to touch off. It works good thx for the help.

thanks a lot man thats the best advice i have received so far and im sure i can get into the operator screen and turn off that core move inhibit thing cause i know the operator screen very well i...

ya i already knew that it was preventing me from crashing my gang tooling into my larger material. i just wasnt sure how to get around it. i will check out the OPR page tomorrow at work thx

also...

That write up doesn't mention anything about the differences between materials greater than 11mm and less than 11mm


EDIT: danrudolph I will try your method when i get to work today thanks.

Hey guys I have a problem touching off the core on an A20 citizen
If I touch off material bigger than 11mm the X stays in the position point.

It seems like I'm not getting a very accurate way...

thanks guys duh. the c axis has to be engaged to do milling on these things. I guess i should have known that lol

Hey guys they are running a Citizen A20 at my new work. I was wondering if there is a spindle lock code / option on these machines?
