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 sometimes I have to twist the material by hand to get it to slide through the guide bushing.
I have found that If I engage the C axis it prevents anything from rotating and it makes it easier to twist the material to slide it through a tight guide bushing.
This guy at my work keeps *****ing at me because he is saying that I'm putting stress on the servo motor but I keep telling him its bull****. When the C axis is engaged everything seems pretty ridgid to me and I would think that It would have to be for machining purposes.
How do I explain to this guy that I'm not putting stress on the servo motor?
Or is he right and am I an idiot?
I learned on a hanwha and this was a very common procedure but now that I'm on a citizen I'm a little out of my element.
