Reg,
How do you use G29.6? Is there some way to override the output? Or do you physically cut the wire that goes from the PMC to the CNC?
Thanks,
Chris

I should add that when I grab the red X hand wheel on my TL-2, which is connected directly to the screw and offers a good deal of leverage, the servo is very stiff and I have to try very hard to get...
I have a 2011 TM-2 that has a problem and I think it has to do with the servo tuning. When it is cutting in certain directions, it chatters and squeals like crazy.
The most telling test I've done...
I'm trying to run the following code:
T2 M06
G90
S436 M03
M08
G01 G43 X1.75 Y-.45 H02 Z.1 F200.
G83 X1.75 Y-.45 Z-1.8814 R.1 Q.125 F2.15

I'm looking to mount an air cylinder to our lathe for opening and closing the door automatically.
Attaching the air cylinder is straight forward; in fact some of the provisions are already in...
While cleaning our GT-20, which has run steady for the past 3 years, one of my operators came across an unconnected (green/yellow) wire on the back of the machine, just above the lube rack.

I'm looking at adding a hydraulic chuck to my GT-20, but I need it to have a larger capacity than what Haas offers. We need to accommodate 2.25" bar stock (Haas's option has a 2.06" capacity).
...
I run a TL2 with a Bison 8" and a 10"...both work well, but the extra inertia of the 10" is noticeable. I think that a 12" chuck might be a little large, though if you keep the speed down, you might...
I agree; that's not what I meant. Let me correct myself: If you can not certify your work or someone else's, then you are not a PE.
I know for myself, when I ask someone if they are an engineer,...
I think you've answered your own question...if you can not certify your work or someone else's, then you are not performing engineering.
While you may find yourself doing the same tasks or even...
that's a good one :)
If you're having troubles with the local HFO, give Haas a call directly. The number is on the front of all of my machines: 1-888-817-4227.
If you have a program that is larger than 1 floppy, you could connect the RS232 port to a PC. The cable is cheap, especially if you make your own, and DNC software is free for download on the web.
H1rg0n, they're not in Canada, but I always order 80/20 from Reid Supply.
A local option would be FrameWorld, sold at Skean's Engineering. Be warned, that while the profiles are similar,...
Sounds like the flutes packed up with aluminum, which then limited its ability to cut, and snapped due to the oncoming material.
Aluminum has a very high tendancy to bond to the cutter if the...
What are you cutting and what are you using as coolant?
Here's a post I made a while back that might help:

It's observational when it comes to MoldFlow, but we had a consulting firm run an part analysis using VisiFlow in the past. The mold performed exactly the way the analysis said it would. I would...
I'm not a moldflow guy, but as far as I know, moldflow software should be able to help you with everything you listed. They key is interpretation of the results.
Perhaps a call to the software's...
Not sure what's wrong, could be just about anything, but whatever you do, do not install a fresh copy of Windows onto the drive. Windows Setup will erase all of the files currently on the drive (or...
Have you had a chance to test it on anodized aluminum?
In order to be able to specify a P value I think you need to buy the option from Haas.
Here you go.

It defaults to .0012 relative accuracy because it keeps regeneration time down. It is a throwback from the earlier versions when most users did not have access to computers capable of processing a...
The default accuracy on a ProE part is .0012 and that is relative to the model size. I have my part template set to .0001 absolute and that makes a huge difference for downstream use.
Is it just me or is anyone else wondering what would happen if you hit "up up down down left right left right b a start"?
Excellent work Patrick! :cheers:
I use PTC's ProNC, but that's probably a lot more than you're going to need. It comes bundled with ProENGINEER WildFire (CAD software) and cost me about $25,000 (with a few years of maintenance). I...
You need CAM software.
Once you import the IGES file into CAM, you can generate toolpaths and then post-process the toolpaths into G Code for your machine.
An IGES file contains 3D data. G...
Your spindle bore doesn't sound like it's in very good shape...any idea why it's like that? Has the machine been crashed?
I don't see why resurfacing the spindle taper wouldn't work. I would...
