Hey Guys,
I Run a LCS-25, LB250t, and a LB300MY.
On the LB250T we had a crash where it pulled the job out of the chuck. We were holding Dia. 210mm x 50mm Pieces of Black Bar with 5mm Deep soft jaws ":withstupi" DERR! This moved the turret a whopping 0.350 mm.
The boss bought these standard taper pins from an industrial store and left them in the turret after being told by the service engineer that they shouldn't be left in. "she'll be right, It'll make her more rigid" said "you know who". no more than 5 mins later after the techs left another part came out of the chuck, it took a day and a bit for the techs to remove the pins. The removal of the turret was the killer.
Why the machine crashed again? "you know who" said "we've been making them this way for 10 Years now without a problem. Why should we change the process now?"
$65.00 for taper pins.
$1500 (approx) service tech bill
Boss Saying "SHE'LL BE RIGHT" - PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the other hand, You have different fingers.
