Djmcdaris,
#9943 bit 7 to 1
This will give you G54.1P1-P48
JK
Cncwhiz,
I program like this all of the time. We have horizontal machines so you might need to change this around a bit. Also, I do use G54.1P1 but there is nothing to say you can't use G54 to...
No Problem,
I have a Mat here with a 840 DI control. It is a H Plus 405 but I'm sure the controls are very similar so fire your questions away....
JK
dcouper,
Thanks for the info. This should have me well on my way. I think they match up perfectly with the Fanuc variables.
Thanks again,
JK
Hi All,
I have just inherited a Brother TC-32A 4 axis and a Brother TC-32B 5 axis. (not by choice either...). After sifting through hours of boring drivel (manuals), I can't seem to find any...
Maximusek,
When you call a T value by itself (without an M6) it should move that tool number to the change position and bring the tool pocket to the change arm. This just decreases the time it...
G-codeguy,
Can you post your code so I can have a look at it? Maybe there is something here that I can learn about cycle time reduction.
Thanks,
JK

Instead of issuing the M91 to change from main spindle to live tooling, try M98P9000. This is a sub that engages the C axis, homes it out (in about 1 second), and...

Cnc-it,
We have 4 Nakis here. I don't have much experience with the 3T control but you can't beat the machine.

Dry Run,
You can also cut a 'Higbee' thread on a lathe without live tooling. Cut the thread as you normally do and then recut it with a 'cut grip' or some sort of square tool untill the first...
Hey Bo,
Go to http://www.cadem.com/dnc/freednc.htm and download NCLite. It is totally free and works great. The only thing is you can only set up one machine and cannot drip feed with the free...
Hey Guys,
I just finished building my mew tombstones for machining some parts. The rings and clamps are interchangable for similar but different parts.
Sorry about the photography, but I guess...
TGSTP,
Here is a blurb on G76 threading. If you are doing an NPT thread you will have to use the R(i) value to taper the thread. The value is an interger number with 1 being equal to .0001" and...
Maximusek,
We also do not have the Y axis option in our machines so I'm not sure if I can help you out much, but I'll give it a whirl. I think the Y axis lock pin is just there for turning so you...
Jorge,
Our TW-10's do not have a spindle transmission. When in M41 mode M3-M5 act upon the spindle. When in M91 mode, they act upon the live tooling spindles.
JK
Maximusek,
Can you be a little more specific? I have 2 of these exact machines and might be able to help you out if I can understand your problem. M41 for us is spindle selection and M91 is C...
Srotol,
Try Parlec
I've bought some stuff off of them for our TMC15's and our TW10's

Can you use a air powered jig grinding moter?
I have used them up to 120,000 rpm on a Moore jig grinder. They should have enough snuff to drive an engraving tool.
Just a thought.....
JK
Hey Guys,
I have A Nakamura Tome TMC 15 that has an indexing spindle. It is a Frenic 5000 M3 digital AC spndle drive. The spindle has a gear on it that enables you to rotate and lock in at every...
Codyst,
Would you mind? I think the effort would be worth it. This is going to be used on a 6 spindle transfer machine so the more bullet proof the better.
I get the concept but you lost me...
Nilimpa,
Try this site. It contains all of the manuals for the 840D control. We have a Matsuura here with and 840DI control but I've never done any interfacing like this before.

Thanks Mitsui Seki,
All of the machines are running gight now so I will try this out when the operators are on lunch.
Any luck finding the macro Codyst?
JK
Codyst,
Thanks a million. If you can find it and send it to me that would be great!
Thanks again,
JK
Thanks Mitsui Seiki,
I tried this out but it only orientates the spindle and then changes the speed value. Too bad it wasen't this simple on this control.
So short of writing a macro which...
Hey Guys,
I need to orientate the spindle on some mills for a job. One has a Fanuc 16i control, the other an 18i. The thing is I need to orientate it a different angles and I'm not sure haw to...
We have 2 Nakamura Tome TW-10's, one a Fanuc 18T and the other with a Fanuc 16TT comtroler. I'm trying to set up a macro that will shut down the machine at a certian spindle load. The problem being...
Batmill,
When you change the editor over to NC, there will be a work offset softkey when you are in input mode. This is where you enter the data for the G54, G55, etc. It is the same as in...
