It will be doing porting most of the time then block boring and surfacing so there won't be many tool changes during runs.

Besides the tool changer on the P69AHD is very slow... And it can only...

Hello,

I need to decide on which one to get, the rottller is going to be 35k cheaper than the centroid. But I think the centroid is more powerful and robust and can cut faster. For the price...

just had a look a the manual, thanks alot for the tip. i'll try it out first thing in the morning.

i see, so if i understand you correctly, it should look like this ?

fanuc Power mate, i'll try that. but i ran regular turning cycles with no issues, only this one with the radius is giving me this alarm.

Hello,

i get this alarm when G70 starts after the G71 cycle is done. i can run the program from the G70 line and it will work fine.. The work piece is a tapered plug with a radiused end.

Hello,

my machine only allows "0-1" for parameter 0020, does this mean i cannot use an SRAM card ? when i input "4" into parameter 0020 it gives me "data out of range" or something like that.

you are right about my bad practice, it might interfere with X40 but X18 should not be affected right ?

i had thought that TNR would only affect tapers and radius cuts... im still confused why...

you know what.. now that i have checked the code on the machine... that's exactly it... There's a G41 in the N1 line... its supposed to be a G42.. i will give this a go and see. I'm a noob and...

i measured the piece after the G71 and its 19mm. i ran the G71 alone with U0 and W0 and it gave me 18mm. i ran another cycle with G71 U0 W0 and the g70 cycle still removed 1.8mm material. :crazy:
