Drilling thousands of small holes in HDPE "poly pipe"
Figured it was worth a shot to see if you guys have ideas. We will be drilling around 3000 small holes in 1" poly pipe for drip irrigation purposes. This won't be a CNC operation, but looking for a way to make this go faster. But beyond speed right now, I am trying to select tooling that will... -

Understanding Spindle Torque Charts
Tell us what Haas machine you are replacing? Age? We have run into the "haas power" issue in the past. You will have to let us know how the testing goes.- huleo

matsuura 500v trouble- spindle will not start
Don't be surprised if it is actually a switch! A DMM is very high impedance so trying to move any current at all, they may still cause voltage drop. But sounds like you are on the ball now.- huleo

matsuura 500v trouble- spindle will not start
If you are a rookie, I will point out that part of the redundant process of computers looking at switches, is a switch typically (maybe not being that old) has both a normally open and normally close position NO/NC. It is a double confirmation that the switch has changed state. If you have 3...- huleo

matsuura 500v trouble- spindle will not start
If you didn't meter test the detent switches, you didn't actually test them. As well, I commonly see them in a "gray state" in which resistance is not OL vs 0ohms, sometimes open is say 4K ohms. Have to watch for this. Check IO state in control. that should tell you what is up but my bet...- huleo

Fanuc 6T model B operations Guru help needed.
Just for an experience reference, I dealt with a Dynapath many years ago in which "all systems were go", yet it refused to home out. 2 experienced guys with the Dyna looked at it and could not figure it out. It took me a couple good nights of thinking to solve this. The feed rate override...- huleo

SCM tech z30 losing x-axis zero position in-between of cycles
We have an SCM and though not a Fanuc, certainly not proprietary......unlike a LOT of those waterjets and lasers. That proprietary stuff makes me cringe.- huleo

SCM tech z30 losing x-axis zero position in-between of cycles
What control? Would be extremely rare that any control could lose reference and not alarm requesting rehoming. Probably more likely that the control is excusing the work offset from being started mid program, or other bug.- huleo

Haas Mini Mill, how to realign X axis for squareness error?
The "spec" is whatever Haas feels like they can BS through. If you call them out, it will never be their machine, it will be the floor, or possibly the air quality causing it. I know I won't lose any sleep tonight over those 40 mics. I have just learned to stay well away from those rigs as...- huleo

Haas Mini Mill, how to realign X axis for squareness error?
This guy puts a ballbar on a Haas, and is now having anxiety. This is like my racing days where the first thing you do is throw the speedo out the window. You don't want to know! Just go make parts man! At the end of the day, you can likely improve the problem, but it will still be a Haas.- huleo

Tsugami NM3 ( micro 5 ) Cnc lathe problems
OK, so all 3 phase power is the same, and rotation is never an issue. Got it. You won't get too far with "my machine won't work, why?" The more you put into it, the more helpful people become.- huleo

well new machine died Fanuc 18M Controller, not sure what happened.
'Can' the controls survive with higher voltage. Possible. I have done it myself, but it undoubtedly puts more stress on components. All when a simple auto transformer on the 1P side can get down to a safer voltage. They are cheap and easy to install. Some machines will have their own...- huleo

well new machine died Fanuc 18M Controller, not sure what happened.
How could I have guessed..... YES, your problems are coming from your power supply. You are trying to feed 240V, PLUS very likely poor balance and I have seen 255V on an RPC. At a minimum, you need to find out what the input voltage to your machine is, and run on the bottom end.- huleo

well new machine died Fanuc 18M Controller, not sure what happened.
With all your problems, what is the stated input voltage on the badge on the machine and what are you feeding it? Have you verified it? Are you running real 3 phase or other? If the 14V is off that same PSU, you must keep in mind that sometimes some load is required on the other rails...- huleo

IMTS '22
Our local show was trying to do this, though less extreme. We gave them fictitious names, company, and phone numbers. All that info is funneled back to all exhibitors through an ID number, that exhibitors would record as soon as you say "hi" so they can contact and hassle you. I haven't been...- huleo

I mean, I refused free tickets from two MTBs now. I think you have to be 'interested' in new machines at the right time....lol But if things are prohibitively expensive for MTBs and such, I would not want to waste the time. Probably be nothing but a bunch of social media stars there trying...- huleo

MTB's Mazak and Matsuura ?
Because the only lines being discussed are top of the line, I think any comment like "they are OK but lacking in certain areas" should include specifics. Lots of armchair experts. We don't own but have run several big Mazaks. I can't say I can really complain about them, but I was running...- huleo
