I saw your youtube video of the robot working ! Great work !
Let's hear about all the troubles it must have taken to get it working :)

A Multiplex is NOT a job shop lathe. While it looks great on paper it is a machine for running production and nothing else. It is incredibly tight in there. There is a reason that machine on ebay has...

The pump I have is a Knoll KTS screw pump, which runs at a set rpm. When the pressure into the machine is regulated down to say 100psi the foaming in the machine will obviously be less. I guess the...

The price was the same for Fanuc and Siemens on the DNM I got a quote on.

Thanks everyone ! That was very useful info.
To avoid too much heat and foaming I guess I should get another pump for transfer from the machine sump to the tank for the HP pump. That way I can keep...

Do you have the manuals ? If not there is a programming manual to download somewhere on the net. I read through a lot of it, and it seems all the major programming is the same as on all other Mazak...

With 1000psi coolant: I'm wondering if you can run full pressure to all types of tools ? This is on a Mori NLX lathe.
Small through-coolant drills and OD tools seems ok to run with full pressure to...

I understand, waiting 6 months in no fun when you need that machine. I have not seen more than one of the Doosan lathes with Siemens either. I just thought it would be a nicer control thank Fanuc....

I read that on the MFG's page, what I wondered was: What is your machine ?

The NLX lathes have that too.

David:
How come you didn't get that late with the Siemens control ?

That mill: Is that linear ways or box ways with that price ?

Index have 8000rpm on their C200 production turning machine. Still it might be a good option if you are looking to eek out the last seconds on a part. They have some awesome cycle times in their...

Interesting read ! Do you program those Hardinge T machines at the machine ? You have three of them now ?

Sounds like you are on the brink of being a big shop. We haven't seen that HMC or the lathe, I would like to see them.
Can you let us know what sort of parts you will hopefully be running ?...

I seem to remember engraving was an option from Mazak the last time a priced a machine from them. But that was 2018 maybe, so not 100% sure you can get it on a 2015 machine, but you could contact...

I use Shell Tonna S3 M. It is the recommended oil for NLX, but it was also the easiest to get around here. Mixes right in with the coolant though...

I am looking at a vertical mill, but I can't quite figure out which have box ways ?
I am sure NV and NVX mills have box ways, but the NVX machines are usually too expensive.

Edit: Sorry for the...

Deadly kitten again ?

That's good.

The service sucks here. Lies from salesmen and CO's , and extremely slow response time. Used 3 months to fix an issue that could have been fixed in 1 hour if they knew their ass from...

Hope the service from DMG is 1000% better in Denmark than in Norway/Sweden !

I am just wondering: Do you have a list of all your machines ? It seems you have a "new" one in every other post :eek:
From what I have read you might have half of them (or more?) stashed away in...

I have shaved about 4 seconds in total with shorter lead-ins for the turning and removing the imaginary toolchange between the milling rough and finish.
I am sure there is more to save with more...

I am running a turning job in annealed tool steel - 18mm diameter bar. The part is about 2" long and a little over 1/2" in diameter. Currently it takes 1 minute 56 seconds. I am looking to improve...

I should but I am too tired of arguing with them...
Reminder to all in Scandinavia who even thinks about buying anything from DMG: DON'T !

Update on this issue: The updated software must have been made for / tested on a machine without a subspindle.
That meant that the machine was set to tailstock spec under machine setup and that made...
