Being used to conventional manual movements on lathes and milling machines, I find this somewhat, like miracles in the making. I am used with working the old type of machine where I always am in contact, but this machine "has a vast memory of its own and does not need the operator most of the time, but just obeys his orders. Such accuracy and what I admire most is the calmness of the gentleman commenting and programming and completely trusting his machine, he is so sure of the allegiance of the machine to his orders. That machine is a faithful slave or better still a good friend............ but to be honest, I would be scared to see all that powerful synchronized motions and rotations, all the time hoping that it will obey all the operator demands. Congratulations on your work, so beautiful and so elegant, with mind, body, and machine working together in a harmonious manner which I shall never experience.

Nice job Peter. Would it have been possible to do all the deburring in the machine?
@gredangeo6 жыл бұрын
Depending on how convoluted the chamfer methods are in the software, sometimes you can't just select a basic edge and expect the tool to follow it at certain diameter and be done. :( And since these particular edges meet at a few pinch points that can cause easy gouges, it makes it next to impossible without a bunch of workarounds.

It is very nice to watch the Professional at work :) Q: What is the best strategy (left side , right , both sides) to cut STUB ACME and ACME Threads and High Pitch Threads. Also did you use Mazatrol to program this specific thread or SpaceCIaim?
@EdgePrecision6 жыл бұрын
The cutting strategy I use for all but the courses threads is to feed straight in. With a constant area cut depth. On this large of a machine that works fine for everything from say four pitch and finer. For a courser pitch I might use a zigzag type of pattern of in feed. The cam software I use is Esprit. I program all threads with that software. I almost never use the Mazatrol. Maybe for boring soft jaws, most of the time not even for that.
@RotarySMP5 жыл бұрын
Do you use conversational programming directly on the MAZAK, or are the tool paths for a job like this generted in CAM?
@EdgePrecision5 жыл бұрын
I never us the Mazatrol control for anything more than boring chuck jaws. Everything I do is programmed in Cam of of solid models. And most of the time I even bore chuck jaws with the Cam software as well. It's not that I dont like Mazatrol. It is very good for straight lathe work. For milling I'm not so impressed. There are guys here at Centerline that do very impressive milling tasks with it but I prefer using Cam generated programs. The job depicted in this video would have been easy to do straight on the Mazatrol.

..On those facing cuts..do you increase spindle speed as you approach the center...?
@EdgePrecision6 жыл бұрын
Doug Ankrum On CNC lathe in the G96 mode (constant surface finish) the machine will increase speed as the diameter decreases. So on a facing cut the speed will increase until you reach the maximum rpm of the machine or the max speed you specify in your G50 command. For speed limitation.

I have never heard of offsetting the C-axis. Can't you just orientate the model differently in your CAM software and post different C values for jaw clearance? I guess it is one in the same? Great work, thanks for sharing.
@EdgePrecision6 жыл бұрын
The C axis has a fixture offset just like any other axis. It isn't necessary to reprocess code just change the angle or zero point of your offset. Its totally necessary to be able to set a zero point for the C axis otherwise how would you align to the part in the rotational direction.

@EdgePrecision5 жыл бұрын
The machine is just a robot. It has servo motors that rotate ball screws that have encoders that feed back position to the controller. Although it can position quite accurately none of this guarantees the parts accuracy. The man running the robot/ machine determines that. The machine just follows the path programmed. It knows nothing more than that. It knows no part dimensions or anything about the part.

Seeing a 4 jaw chuck on a CNC lathe is very strange. A 3 jaw chuck is so much quicker to use and I have held larger parts than this to do a 2nd op. 😖.
@EdgePrecision4 жыл бұрын
The reason I use a 4-Jaw chuck is it fits the type of work I do better. Also I get the full spindle bore size. This was also important to me. Although it isn't efficient for this kind of job. This isn't the kind of job I usually do. Most jobs I do get chucked and stay there for a whole day or two. So being able to dial in the runout perfectly is more important than time. Another thing a manual 4-jaw isn't as susceptible to spindle speed and chucking strength (Chuck opening due to spindle speed) as a hydraulic chuck.

Edge Precision have you ever had to use the ATC recovery mode/step function on your intergrex? a mazak vtc800 mill at work had a power failure during a toolchange and nobody can remember the sequence to get the toolchange carrier/arm to reset itself, luckilythe mill does not get ysed much, only for bigger jobs
@EdgePrecision7 жыл бұрын
When I bought my machine it came to me in pieces and I assembled it and installed it. it has a Mazatrol 640M Pro control(yours may be different). On this control there is no ATC recovery mode that I am aware of (If there is I have never used it). I have had many tool changer issues mostly my own fault) . What I do is go into the Machine Mode (The key with the little wrench on it) Than to ATC than enable interlock cancel. At this point you need to be very carful there is no safety interlocks. Than you can cycle the tool changer to remove any problem you might have and even jog the machine (very carefully!!!). Than you must put the tool changer back into its normal position for a tool change than disable interlock cancel. I have had in some cases, had to push and release emergency stop a number of times to unjam things. The tool changer on my machine will not function if it is not in the right position initially. The magazine, the shifter, the carrier, and the arm all have to be in the proper position or you will get a alarm. Hope this helps but I think your tool changer is different than mine.
@middlemanclayton17 жыл бұрын
Edge Precision yes its differant, on the vtc 800 a carrier runs backwards and forward on a rail system underneath the spindle, right now the carrier is engaged with the tool carasel at the back, it need to release whatever tool it has and then go back to its park position but nobody can figure out how, mazak service techs job i guess, the little maintenance memu (spanner mode) has keys like ATC recovery mode and such but no buttons work
