Good morning everyone out there. I came into work this morning and had an operator come to me with a random problem. Ok, here goes. We are using a 2000 VF-O with (HSM?) option. Randomly, parts are gouging on the roughing and/or finishing pass. It has done both. Example: We have run this 3-D job many times on this machine with no problems. Same (saved) program and type of cutters as always. He ran 4 parts perfect, the 5th is gouged. Ran 3 more good parts, and the next one is gouged in 2 different locations on the part. Ran 1 good and then 1 bad etc.... Gouges are never the same spot on the parts. It could be in the Y or Z axis, but have not tracked down yet. Here is some stats: 1045 merchant grade CRS. T1= TIN coated-carbide inserted ball endmill, .015" DOC, 6000 RPM, and 50 IPM. T2 = another identical endmill, .015" DOC, 6000 RPM, 75 IPM. Questions are: How do I know if it in fact, has HSM option? Has anyone ever seen this type of machine behavior? Can anyone give me a road to the light?
Thanks in advance,
