For the last 40 years I have sworn by Red Wing boots. They mold to your feet. I have worn the latest pair for 2 years and they are still comfortable. And the sales guy won't tell you unless you ask that they still have a lifetime warranty. Need new insoles? Done. New soles? Done. Takes about two...
There is a variable that stores the current tool in the spindle. You can increment, say #501, to add 1 each time the tool is called. Give it a limit such as 20. When #501 reaches 20, then #500 gets reset to "0".
Also, you don't need to use tool life for this if you don't want to. You can use...
Let's move this off of here. Email me at [email protected].
I have been on the phone with Renishaw. He needs to confirm but he thinks that maybe you entered the wrong activation code. If activated correctly, that activation screen you should never see again.
Has this been resolved? I don't know how I missed this. This is not related to the GUI itself. It is related to the ability to use M165 itself. The GUI works fine but users can't call with M165 because M165 has not been activated. The attached document should work in your situation. Sorry for...
I would pop a 1.5" to 2" hole in the center, then rough the hole to +.030 with a 3/4" endmill, 2" deep at a time. High speed circular tool path, 2" deep at a time. Should take about 20 minutes total per part.
This is just a misapplication of the conveyor. Agreed the sales person should have and maybe did suggest a better conveyor to fit this application. I can't tell you how many times I heard "I can't afford that" or "you're just trying to upsell me" or "I'll be just fine" until your not just fine...
No 30 taper machine will be happy with high feed cutters. Fixturing is everything as is the proper tool holder. A 3/4" cutter will be the best probably. All of our machines have dual contact spindles and I use a hydraulic chuck. Some cutters are better than others in this regard so I would stay...
What happens with these high feed cutters is you have to push them. If you don't, you will get immense chatter. That is not good for the machine. When you feed them at manufacturers numbers, all forces go up in to the spindle taper. You barely hear it. The only thing you hear is the chips...
You can do step downs too although that gives a longer cycle time. These have about .200" flat for stepover. But, these things love feed. Don't baby them, they will chatter.
I use these. I have used these at .060" DOC and up to 400IPM.

You should have decent workholding though.
Tilted working plane is an exclusive 5 axis option. You can place your work offset anywhere on a part and the control does the math internally. RTDFO, as I was told by Fanuc, was designed for HMC's and it is not a 5 axis option. You still need to program from COR and the control, again, handles...
I had to something similar in my apprenticeship. 6" X 4" X 1" plate had to be filed to size and squareness in all directions within +-.005", all with files. We were not even allowed to switch a machine on until that task was completed. We also were not allowed to turn on any machine until we...
TCP, not sure about DWO, controls the tip of the tool and the orientation. But it is basically unaware of the rest of the tool or the relative position on the remainder of the part. One reason they recommend using vector programming, meaning using I, J and K instead of direct rotary moves, A/B...
You don't need a COR in CAM, just a WCS. When you probe a part and set a work offset, the control then knows the distance from the machine COR. The numbers posted in your program are relative to the WCS (part zero) in CAM. TCP/DWO/TWP does all of the math internally in the control. Massive...
