Hope everyone is well
Quick intro: New member, been dragged kicking and screaming from my manual mill and lathe into the world of CNC at work. Very small company so very limited pool of experience with things like this.
Machine is a Victor V-70 mill, with Fanuc oi-MB control. Has a cold start problem so we generally leave it switched on. Typical cycle times are in excess of 24hrs for the large batches of ceramic parts we make.
So to the point, is there a way to reduce the frequency the machine oils itself? It seems to give itself one shot every 15 mins or so. So if we set a batch running when we finish on Friday lunchtime the cycle will end Saturday lunchtime, and the idle machine will sit and drink all its oil over the weekend.
It would be great if someone could point me to the relevant parameters to change it. Either reduce the frequency, or stop it oiling completely when its idle.
Thanks in advance
