Hello;
this is my first post to this group.
I have inherited a full 5 axis milling machine from a programmer that
quit and went else where! He was the only person that programmed
this machine. We cant find any operators manuals are information on
the machine.
My problem is that the operator has never set up a tool for this
machine and can't figure out how to do it.
This machine is a 16 tool, CMS machine made in Italy by the ZOGNO
company. We cut Foam on it. We make castings. The machine has
a CNC 2401 control. Is thier anybody out there who might be able
to help me tell the operator how to set up a new tool or i should say
how to input the information in the machine for a new tool.
some more machine information: floor space is about 20 ft. by 10 ft.
I use a 1.000 dia. ball nose end mill. RPM is 20,000. Feed is 400 ipm.
mat. size is 40 inch dia. X 30 inch long.
Help Please.
Thanks
