Greetings

I have a machine that did the same thing. I probably caused the problem because my air was not as dry as it should have been. If you can visually see any moisture coming out of the air...

Greetings All,

Ydna,

You have no worries on your spindle. That is just the way a DC (i.e. brushed servos) machine stalls. It's very spooky the first time a person hears it because it feels like...

Greetings,

I did what WallyL7 suggested. It was a good idea I had not thought of. I would like to ask for a little more detail about his method. As I worked thru the process I found that it let me...

What is the best way to handle a part that has changed (been modified) in Solidworks after the Mastercam tool path programing has been completed? Sometimes I can't see the forest for the...

Greetings

I have several large parts (15" x 24" x 12" high) to make were we epoxy layers of material together to build the stock rectangle that contains the part. Using this square or rectangle...

Thanks guys for all the info!! WallyL7 and TheBigJW have the hot tip. Parasolid V12 works great, V15 is a no go. I'll have to work with my customer to see if V13 or V14 will work.

Greetings,

What is the best file type to use to surface machine parts from SolidWorks in MasterCam V9?

Thanks in advance!!

Thank You Very Much!!!

I was sure I tried that at least 15 times...guess not.

Anyway, that works great and Thanks again!!

When I get tool path operations from library that I saved to library from a previous job, I can't seem to make them respond to the new WCS I created on the new part. The Tplane and...

I have proved it many times over, if a tool is sticking, 9 out of 10 times it has black oxide on the taper. Scotch Brite it off and you will be good to go.

Hope this helps.

Thanks All,

You guys have been a lot of help. With your help there is no telling how much $$ has been saved by average Joe's like me who are not afraid to climb in and turn a wrench. After...

Greetings All,

1994 VF4 with a zillion tool changes.

I have looked in past threads and didn't seem find the answers to my question.

I will have small window of down time and would like to do...

Greetings

Look through the parameters, I can't recall where it is without being in front of a machine. Its pretty easy to find...just change it from a 1 to a 0 or vis versa. Don't forget to hit...

I will almost never comment with my opinion, good or bad, but that is BAD TO THE BONE!!

Greetings Haas-man

I really haven't been orienting the spindle a lot since the grind. Most of my work is at 6000 RPM and I haven't worked up the nerve to run it yet, so I have just been turning...

Hi guys,

I realize this is an old post but it is relevant to the problem I'm having. On a 1994 VF4 the solenoids were sticking, I ran it 200 RPM and it fell out of gear and ground for about 2...

Greetings

Sorry, I wasn't as clear as I should have been. The noise is present while the spindle is stopping under deceleration. It is loud enough it makes me grit my teeth and pucker up. Common...

Greetings

On a 1994 VF4 I had the dreaded high gear sticky solenoid but only intermittently (my air was not dry enough). I started the machine with a power up restart, it did not shift into high...

Greetings dafowfitdy

This is just a guess but it is something I need to check on my mach (1994 VF4). I have had experiance on other Haas machines with the spindle encoder belt getting coated with...

Greetings DaOne

Please be fore warned that this is only a guess since the new board has been updated and no longer has these resistors and the old ones were badly burned. I/we think they were 27k...

Thanks...can't wait to try it!!

Hello All

I am making a family of parts. Basicly a strip with holes. The parts are various lengths.

I have mulitple files that were created by modifing the geometry and saving the first part as...

Greetings

Installed new board and all is well.

It is easy to get caught up in the temptation of a cheap fix. I only spent about $12 bucks on caps and resistors but in the end I got killed money...

Greetings

Ok I'm saying (crying) UNCLE!!

We took a guess at the colors and replaced the resistors. We must have guess wrong and thats when they were smoking. We took another guess and replaced...

Greetings once again

I am asking for someone to please take a look at the 3 resistors above the 3 light blue pots on the servo dist board to figure out what colors thay are. Mine are burned and...

Greetings

Both of you guys are making good sense. I have been trying not to contact a factory outlet because I'm paranoid they might highly frown on machine owners repairing PCBoards. I replaced...

This is an outstanding site!!
