Cheers for that buddy, I will give it a go and let you know.:)

Hi all,

I have bought some extra flash memory cards (256Mb) for my machines, just in case the ones I have pack up. My machines are Waterjets with Fanuc 18i M controllers, I need to format the...

Hi I used to program and run an Esab flame cutting machine, it used Essi code generated by my nesting software (Lantek) I could possibly do you some sample progs with dxfs to compare.

Hi All,

I have 4 waterjet machines, 2 Waterjet Sweden and 2 Bystronic. The waterjet sweden machines both have Fanuc controls on them, but I have a problem with one of the waterjet sweden machines....

Hi,
I think you will need to edit your post processor to add a W axis command everytime it outputs a Z command, I'm not sure how to do that but I know it will work. I have a waterjet machine with...

We had the use of an Ona machine for a few months quite a while back, on first using it it seemed "Ok" but then it developed a fault which none of the engineers was able to cure so we ended up...

Hi again,
Without knowing your problems I cannot help you, because obviously we need our manuals, but if you can explain your problems we maybe able to help.you see the thing is basically...

Hi,
Just read your post about the Hitachi machine. We currently have 6 large Hitachis A 5Q, 4 6Q's, and an 8Q not sure about the control off the top of my head but if you get back to me with the...

Thanks guys I'll try both methods.

Guys,
I have read so many postings here that my mind is at a complete standstill, how do I take a (JPEG) picture and convert it to DXF so that it can be milled, or wire, waterjet cut etc....

Just watched the video, fascinating!

Try this conversion software ; http://joshmadison.com/software/
It's very good and you can customize it for your own needs.

Normally the Z is a negative figure to plunge, the reason for this is safety, If you were manually editing the NC code and had to alter the Z for some reason. Making it "A minus amount" sort of...

Cheers chuck!!
Have a good one!

Hi,
Sorry about the delay guys, wms & M@T, but while the machine has been down I got quite a backlog of jobs.
BTW I tried the things suggested by both of you, with no joy!
various error...

Thanks WMS,
I'll also try what you suggest.
Mark...

M@T,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'll try what you suggested, and I'll keep you informed.

Good job I read the earlier replies otherwise
"Kong those nuts look great what is the black material" could have been taken in another context. LOL.

Help!
I have a problem with my machine, today (saturday) I was using the machine when all of a sudden it just stopped moving, after resetting the machine, power off etc. I keep on getting an...

Hi,
I think it's #3012.

Thank you also Klox,
Our replies crossed, our newest machine has an AC generator (still an unsubmerged machine though). I will try the carbide settings and let you...

Thanks CAMmando,
I know about the sintering process, our machines cut carbide quite well, so perhaps that's the approach ie using carbide settings.
...

Klox,
PCD or polycrystalline diamond is used for cutting tools, that have to cut very hard materials, ie rock or more commonly hardened steel, we use PCD tipped inserts on our lathe to turn...

Help!
we have been offered a large contract to wire EDM pcd, we've never cut anything like this before, but we know companies that do. Our machines are Hitachis, none are submerged.

Thanks Woody5,
I've just been reading through the tutorial again and realised that I can probably modify the instructions for creating the handle for the candlestick (SW2000)....

This is probably easy for most of you guys, but my question is ,how do I draw half a 'torus' (like a polo cut in half)?
Thanks in advance,

Although as Rekd says not all machines use the same codes and some are unique to particular machines.

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a 'Newbie' to Solidworks. My boss says that he wants me to learn it so I can use it at work. Anyway after going through the tutorials, I think I am getting to grips with...
