Hi All

I have a Deckel Maho dmg 50t year 2000 running a Heidenhain TNC 426 control. On start up without trying to move any of the Axis the power on Y Axis goes high and I get a C3B0 Error.
I...

Hi you can find a PDF manual on the German Heidenhain website explains everything.

Hi you can find all the manuals on the DMG mori German website I think there might also be a bit on cycle 19. I have an older 426 control and it works out where the original zero moves to. I just...

Hi I have a slightly older DMG dmu 50t there is an air blast out of the spindle on toolchanges.There is also a constant hiss of air out of the spindle which stops coolant and dust/chips and lubes...

Hi I also have acquired a Victor twin tool
post lathe would really like your help with the syntax for G68

Hi fordav11 thanks for the reply, I found the problem to be poor switch and ramp design which allowed chips to lodge in the cover and on the ramp :rolleyes:

Ps sorry for double post crap internet...

Hi all I have a problem with Bobcad V26 not producing Z helical moves in code when contour ramping but shows it doing so in simulation. I suspect the Post Processor attached.
Any Help would be...

Hi all I have a Victor C16 CNC Lathe with a Fanuc 3t controller. Does anyone know how I get into saved programs ? also does this controller have tool offsets and tip radius compensation ?

An editable cad tree similar to cam tree :)

As the active support period is only 12 months maybe a prorata plan could be used :idea:

I second this :cheers:

I'm new to bobcad but saw this it may give you some insightBobCAD CAM V26 Undercutting - YouTube

Found this when using metric system library bobcad for 5/16 Ball endmill;) and yes I do have imperial tooling as well :cool: but it was brought cheap as it was marked 8mm undersize ;)

Hi Al thanks for the time taken for the video it explains a lot :idea:

I would try ringing dmg mori in the uk if that's where your based. If there as good as the ones in aussie they should be able to help, they did with my dmg dmu 50t circa 2000 even had the history of...

Yep even the Brits have seen the light and they invented inches :idea: :D :D :D

Hi magicniner Khalid I think you may be missing my point I have no problem plunging a center cutting tool ;) but in this feature plunging is default :( try plunging a non center cutting 63mm insert...

Hi all
Either I'm missing something in 25 yrs manual machining conversion to cnc just lately or they have this wrong :rolleyes:

If you use Advanced rough > leads you have PLUNGE or you tick...

Hi All
Has anyone set up a standard metric library of tools as opposed to the inch defaults:idea:. I know how to edit them and build a new tool crib ;)

Hi Dani I am using the the Heidenhain conversational metric post processor for my TNC 426 controller on a DMG 50T machine, seems to do most things ok except drilling cycles which are easy to edit on...

Hi Rob,
As a new user of Bobcad I saw there was an update to my current 1198 build with many bug fixes, as my 45 day new user support has finished I was could not update. I emailed my sales rep...

Hi Rob

It appears that the problem with my external planar tool path was an arc fit and post processor issue. I have not tried an internal tool path without Arc Fit checked to see how this...

Thank you for this info, I am using the hiedenhain metric conversational post processor which complicates things a little. it appears not to contain yz xz circle centre moves.:(

Hi aldepoalo I turned off ArcFit and reposted just planner and finished off the rest of the part, seemed to work much better. Why does ArcFit seem to work with other tool paths and not planar...

Hi MikeG the ArcFit was set to 0.005mm or 5 microns you would suggest less
Cheers
Nick

Hi aldepoalo thanks I will try this. I have cut other parts using ArcFit before the radiused edge below was cut with equidistant tool path . I have had other issues with Planar tool path.The mold was...

Hi James, I started with a small 3 axis Seig X3super small mill and converted it to cnc. Now I have an industrial DMG 50t 3+2 axis machining centre. I'm located in Gosford on the Central Coast. If I...

Here's the part file. This part was cut on a DMG 50t using a hiedenhain TNC 426 controller.
