Charmille Robofil 510 Updated Files

Hello all,

I work for a tiny medical product development company and we recently started up a Robofil 510 machine. A lot of work went into getting it into good working condition, and now we are just making sure we have everything we need to run what we want to run.

Presently, we are trying to track down LT25.WIR. I believe it is the prep file for .010"/.25mm full-hard brass wire (our particular wire is AC brassfil 900N). It was not included in the stock floppies we got with the machine, but seems to be part of an updated software/files kit that we don't have. It is listed in an updated version of the technologies manual, but not the original.

I'm really hoping somebody might be able to track down either an updated compiling of the most recent files for this model machine or, since I believe this is the only file we are in need of right this minute, a copy of LT25.WIR. Even a picture of the preparation table opened in the tables editor would work since we could just toss it into the user file or create a table and rename it what we want.

Any help avoiding the need to spend $150 on a brand new tech disk from GF would be appreciated. That price is a little steep for a single four line table.


Thanks in advance for any help,
Gregg

Unfortunately not. Closest I have is ST10. I've had moderate success by changing the diameter and increasing the wire brake by 100g on the ULS25 table, but it doesn't like threading when it needs to raise the head off the part. Rather frustrating.

If it helps anything, I'm running

Comm. version MN.A5 X
Exec. version MN.99
Pilo. version FP.18
Crtc version XN.C1

i will try and locate parameters for you. do you have the tec tables?

Hate to break it to you, but $150 will be one the cheapest "bills" you have on a Charmilles!

We started making everything we could in-house as genuine Charmilles parts and service was outrageous. Either that (won't help with software) or start shopping around for edm supply houses and comparing prices for non oem parts...

Nailed it!!!

I have many, yes. LT25(A,C,F,L,W).TEC as well as the .E files. I haven't figured out what exactly the .E are used for yet.

Charmilles gave us a fresh image of the disk on which LT25.WIR should have been, but it's still not there somehow. If you could track that one down I would be unbelievably appreciative. Even if it's a picture of the screen so I can dump it into a user wire table, that's good enough.

They actually tossed me a complete image for free since I only needed just the one. I don't expect that will be the norm, but it was nice as a one-off

PM Me. i have what you need

IIRC, I believe it is their format for a text file. You could try copying it to your pc and changing the extension to .txt and see if it will open in word or notepad...

I've done that before. It's somewhat garbled to the computer, and I assume that it's simply something the controller uses. It seems to be a help file kind of thing with machining instructions.

And so you did!

Thank you again! My threading cycle runs SOOOOOOO much smoother than when I had to modify the LS25 variant.
