G54 Resets to Machine Co-Ords when going from MDI to Manual Jog Handle
G'day We got our first HAAS recently (2004 SL30) and I am in the process of setting it up but keep coming across something that is preventing me from progressing further. For comparison I also have a Goodway machine with a Fanuc Oi-tF PLUS controller. Goodway - MDI > G54; T0101; > Cycle Start... -
Fanuc MGi (Oi-TF PLUS)and Wear Offset Question
Hello Is there a way to not display in the cutting process the wear offset entered and just have the controller show only the direct programmed path? Ex: Wear Offset X +1. Programmed path X30. After Offset adjustment Machine display showing X31. Machine cutting X31. I want... Machine...- Kharn

Fanuc MGi and TNR Radius Machining Problems
I see where you are going with this my 5013 is set to 2.000 (max) so if I increase that value to say 2.5 then I should be able to put -2.5 in wear offset radius. I still believe this isn't the correct way to do this but this is what works. Edit: Yep that's what it has granted me, my gut says...- Kharn

Fanuc MGi and TNR Radius Machining Problems
.......................VS........................ Controller = Oi-TF PLUS I am not supposed to use the wear offset radius to force my tool to cut exactly as I have programmed it but if I do not put a negative value in the wear radius offset then all my machined radius are out by the size of...- Kharn

Hey all thought Id do an update! I got DNC4U working! I had to use the old cable with a DB9 m/m gender changer on it but after that it's how it's meant to be basically. "Click to play" ��- Kharn

5 axis training?
Then how can anyone ever learn at all...there must be a starting point...maybe you didn't read my post properly, the 5-axis in question would be for experiencing a 5-axis machine, no production etc. By your logic the knowledge I have of lathes is redundant if I ever need tonuse another Lathe...- Kharn

5 axis training?
Those aren't my words to be honest and not from 1 lone person either...I've watched to many shop tours to count and certain phrases are repeating and 5-axis is up there. I'm of the opinion that anyone who aggressively defends certain areas of "not exactly state of the art" machining are doing...- Kharn

5 axis training?
The overall size doesn't matter so long as constant exposure to 5th-axis machining, it's a machine to solely build experience on for 5-axis machining once I'm comfortable I'll get a serious machine. I look at it this way...for the price of the machine I'd spend the same at a university degree...- Kharn

5 axis training?
G'day ozzy here. I'm in a unique situation...not many 5axis machines around where I live. Are there any (this is gonna sound ironic) NEW & CHEAP educational level 5axis machines available? I love the HAAS Mill EDU price point is great for just something to learn on. 5axis is where its at...- Kharn

I managed to get the commport 1 active and use that as my comm port but it didn't change anything, it's all still the same point of no progress... I'm not sure what else to try now DNC4U haven't responded to any of my emails. As of this moment I am more inclined to now flick DNC4U away and go...- Kharn

Been scratching my head over this a bit my accessor believes that the cable is to long for DNC4U to work on (but NCLink) works fine on that distance cable.- Kharn

I simplified it for myself and pulled the cables to the other machines and just have the 1 hooked into switch box with it set to that machine to specifically prevent that happening as I know I did it at least once yesterday I think... Will have to report my findings tomorrow as I just got...- Kharn

I didn't think the CommPort number was a hard figure merely something tell you where the cable is plugged into, I understand they need to match up in the settings and the setup. Aka Comm8 to Comm8 Comm1 to Comm1 Etc- Kharn

I should note that I do not believe its a hardware issue because I hooked up the Laptop to the switchbox and did a program load on the machine furthest away and it went fine first go, so it cannot be hardware.- Kharn

- This is the cable connecting Switchbox to PC this is also the cable we use for the Laptop to Machine program loading with NCLink. - This is behind the switch box I had to use Male to Male gender changers as I couldn't find male to male cable at 20m lengths.- Kharn

Final pic in sequence ony 5 pics allowed per post. As for the cable question yes its a USB cable converter. - LAPTOPS NCLINK PARAMETERS logic says what's on here should be what's needed on DNC4U 1:1 but it ain't working.- Kharn
