    3d probing on machine

    Yesterday I had a discussion with colleagues about probing 3D surfaces on milling machines. Obviously, when examining hard surfaces inclined in two planes relative to the base planes of the machine, difficulties arise. - the trajectory of the probe must be perpendicular to the surface at the...

    Blaser catalog

    Colleagues, has anyone somewhere ever seen a coolant catalog from the Blaser company? I periodically ask myself this question and can't find anything. There is no catalog or even a simple list of all brands of their coolant on their website. To hell with the complete list - I can’t find a single...

    Gear cutting machines with pitch error correction mechanisms

    Hello everyone, dear colleagues. It is no secret that with the advent of CNC systems, entire classes of mechanisms disappeared into oblivion. And if the fundamental design of milling, turning, cylindrical or surface grinding machines has changed quite little, then machines for processing gears...

    Fanuc 18i-MA servo tuning

    Hello everyone, I hope someone can help a little with my old friend, Fanuk 18i-MA (Serfo Software 90A0-5). When any linear axis is reversed, something strange happens. For example, if I run the code: G91 X0.0004 F20. X-0.0004 X0.0004 and so on. In this case, the X axis at the beginning of each...

    "Magnetic poles" of the Fanuc αB100S-11/20000 motor

    Hello dear colleagues. During the replacement of bearings in the spindle of my Mazak FF-660, I removed the rotor of the built-in motor Fanuc αB100S-11 / 20000 A06B-1229-B902 # 0018 from the spindle. Before removing this thing, I put marks on the rotor, spindle and encoder rings ( These are...

    Control and measurement of cones 7:24

    Hello dear colleagues. Tell me - how do they measure tapers in machine tool spindles and on tool holders in the US and EU? I mean cones like BT, SK, CAT and the like - with a taper of 7:24. I used to measure them using these gauges: These are precision parts with precisely made cones and base...

    Mazak FF-660 spindle disassembly

    Hello dear colleagues! I had a problem with disassembling the spindle on the Mazak FF-660 machine. The goal is to disassemble the spindle a little, look at the bearing markings, assemble the spindle, order bearings. During disassembly, decide whether I can change the bearings myself or whether I...

    Renishaw OMP400 repair

    Hello colleagues. On ebay we can find a large number of OMP400 probes at amazingly low prices - about $550 shipped from China. Of course, these are used probes. We bought the first one about 3 years ago and it worked for 2-2.5 years. After that, he first began to show the "contact" state, when...

    "Electronic indicator" IP65 400mm 0.5µm

    Dear colleagues, I ask for help. For a very dirty spot on a grinder, I'm looking for something that looks like an electronic linear encoder with the following features: -stroke 400+mm (16+ inches) - resolution 0.5 µm or less -accuracy is a difficult question :) The final accuracy should be...

    Installing the Laser Tool Presetter

    Dear moderators, if I made a mistake in the section, please move this topic to the most appropriate place. It seemed to me that there are most people here who might be interested in this. Hello dear colleagues! For the last 2-3 months I have been slowly installing a laser tool gauge on our...

    Optical instrument for PCD insert's setting

    Hello colleagues. In our work, we use face mills with diamond inserts. These cutters are individually adjustable for each tooth so that they all have the same height. The tolerance of even the most accurate indexable inserts is 10-20 microns, and the maximum error should be 1-2 microns. This...

    Mazak FF-660/FF-510 mechanical parts manuals

    Hello dear colleagues. Maybe there are owners of milling machines Mazak FF-660 or FF-510? I'm looking for documentation on its mechanical part. I have a master ledger with diagrams for hydraulics, pneumatics, and the like. And I have a book with wiring diagrams. But to find a book with the...

    Installing automatic lubrication on the machine

    Colleagues, hello everyone. I recently replaced a manual lube pump with an electrically driven pump on my Mazak FF-660 machine. Replacing the pump itself, of course, is unlikely to cause difficulties for someone. But making it so that the pump turns on itself and when needed - this can be a...

    M198 on Fanuc 18i-MA

    Hello! Sorry for my English. I am writing through a translator. We have a Mazak FF-660 machine with CNC Fanuc 18i-MA. The machine was made in 2001. The CNC has 64kB of built-in memory ..... I cannot convey in words how it saddens me, especially after 10 years of working on a Delta-Tau machine...
