    Question Spindle Rotation not valid

    Hi,

    I created a router program using AlphaCam and output it to Xilog plus on Record110 AL machine by SCM. The program prompts an error, saying: Spindle rotation not valid. What parameters do I need change to correct this error. This happens when I nest with other parts. Need help badly.

    cheers:-( bertud

    What kind of spindle command did you use?

    There are some machines that might not accept an rpm command over 100, because they were designed to run spindle speed as a percentage, rather than actual rpm. My WAG.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    (Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)

    Hi
    1st post so be gentle with me, also very new to the 110 AL (got 1 installed monday and still in training)

    Anyway, you may need to edit the .tlg file for the tool you are using, ie:
    E1 is an 18 flute and you have set up the tooling that it has a max speed of 18000 and a working speed of 18000 and Alphacam has out put the file with a spindle speed of 24000 this will bring up the error, you need to change the max tool speed from 18000 to 24000. Hopefully this should do it.
    Post back and let me know if im on the right track, cause im learning (still)
