Gentleman,
I recently acquired a Hardinge DV-59 with an accuslide (Fagor 8025TG) retrofit. This is my first CNC machine so my knowledge is limited to only the basics and I’m finding that the manuals leave a lot to be desired for the novice user.
Presently, I’m setting up the tooling and having trouble entering the basic tool positions. The manual I have states the following procedure from the Upgrade Tech manual:
Fagor 8025 Tool Offsets
Jog up and touch the part on the X axis.
Hit T measure.
Type in Txx.xx and hit cycle start.
Type in X, and the diameter of your part and hit enter.
Hit X and then F1 to store.
The above line is where I’m running in to trouble. There is nothing shown above the F1 key (like save or enter). So when I try to enter the Z position it will not allow me to do so because the X is still present from the last command and the jog is not active.
Jog up and touch the part on the Z axis.
Type in Z and the value you are calling it.
Hit Z and F1 to store.
Repeat these steps for next tool
When your done setting your tools make sure you type in T00.00 cycle start, then hit T measure key again to get out of it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
