    Red face Sodick flush machining with tank door down

    I have a Sodick Aq327L. The part I am trying to machine does not fit inside the tank so I was planning on machining in water flush machining mode (t89) the problem I am running into is that the high pressure flushing will not run with the tank door down. I was hoping someone might know a way to run high pressure flushing with the door down.

    The High pressure flush wont turn on with T89 on. You can take the two brass knobs above the flow meters and turn them up and get alot more flow. You will have to back the power off also to keep the machine from breaking the wire.

    Thanks for the reply, Great tip on getting more out of the low pressure flushing. I got this job done, I ended up cheating and putting a zip tie on the limit switches for the door motor so the machine thought it was up. cut up an empty 5 gallon bucket to keep water from turning the shop into a rainforest. I still had to decrease power settings but it machined without much trouble after that. Pretty sure this is not the recommended method but it did get the job done.
