hey Peter how did you disable the hydraulics on your chuck to run 4 jaw chuck? actuator not working anymore? solenoid unit? what did it take basically? thanks
@EdgePrecision
2 жыл бұрын
The Hydraulics aren't disabled. I removed the draw tube and just clamped the chuck. Everything is still there. The machine thinks the chuck is clamped so it runs. One other thing (This may not be a problem for all machines. This machine has a weep hole in the spindle back by the hydraulic actuator. Normally this isn't a problem with the draw tube installed. I didn't know this at first until I got a bunch of coolant on the floor (much later). Most of my first jobs there wasn't a lot of coolant going into the spindle bore so this wasn't noticeable from the outside of the machine. The small coolant did however get slung onto the timing belt for the spindles encoder that times threading operations. It eventually damaged the belt so it slipped teeth. I didn't realize this till it scrapped a part cross threading a thread. So what I have done to avoid this problem on this machine is to put one of those air inflatable spindle plug/bladders back in the spindle by the hydraulic actuator. The spindle is almost four feet long on this machine. So I have never had a problem with that interfering with a part, I have done. On this machine it really isn't possible to run a part going all the way thru the spindle because the back of the spindle is not accessible. It is inside the cabinet behind the hydraulic pumps/chiller unit. But if you do this check for any way coolant can get out of the spindle and not drain down the actuators drain tube. I would also recommend putting the cap on the end of the spindle if you are boring something that's causing a lot of shavings and coolant to go down the spindle (That is if you don't have a plug/bladder). They can be forced into the actuators end between the housing that doesn't rotate and cause damage.

This machine has a two speed head stock. Low range goes from 0- 460 RPM and high range from 0-1600 RPM. the turning spindle has 60 Hp. In this video I had it in high range but my program was limited to 1000 RPM. So it will reach with constant surface speed a 1000 RPM on the facing cut. I don't remember but I think the program was running around 700 SPM at .012 feed.

I'm curious about your methodology with tool touch offs. Wouldn't it be less math and possibility for error by touching off some sort of fixed reference vs a feature on the part? I'm sure you have your reasons and I'd love to learn them from you.
@EdgePrecision
2 жыл бұрын
One nice feature of the Mazatrol Control on this machine. It shows on the display the actual location of the tools tip in relation to the active work offset. In the milling mode it shows you the radius up from centerline in the turning mode the diameter. So it is extremely easy to manually touch off tools. easer and faster the the tool probe (Assuming it was working. But it isn't on this machine). Once I turn a face and a diameter with the turning tools that are already set. Than measure that diameter. That is the reference to set the other tools on. If I used a reference location (This would work) the math would actually be more complicated (This is what the tool probes do). But by touching the tool say on the diameter with a 1/2" dowell pin the display should read 1" larger than that diameter (The Diameter + twice the pin diameter). Easy jus don't move the tool before you make your entries. Or a milling tool the location in X should be the radius of the diameter + the pins diameter. The beauty is you can see on the display exactly where the tool (Assuming you didn't move it!) is before you run it. Because you have already done the simple calculation and entered it. The display's reading verifies your math before anything happens. If you used a reference location you touch off do your calculation but its not really verified to your part, just to location for that purpose. So when you run the tool for the first time. You have to stop at the clearance move in single block than open the doors look and maybe take something, say a scale or block to compare where the tool is to your part. Or you could be bold and just let it run. But that's how crashes happen. On my Mitsubishi mill I use a toolsetter on the bench. But when I run the tool the first time. I always program to rapid 1.0" from the top of the part (Usually the Z zero). So as the tool approaches the work on that move. I push feed hold. Than look at the distance to go display (Remember I have single block enabled). If that distance to go wont hit anything. I push start and let it go to the end of the move. It stops at the end of that move in single block. With the machine stopped I can use a 1,2,3 blocks 1.0" thickness to compare to the tools location. Than in the program I turn on the spindle and coolant after that move. Doing this will eliminate accidents of running the tool into the work with the offset set wrong. But you see all that has to be done with the toolsetter because you don't see after you entered the number on the offset page the actual location in relation to reality or the part. You have to run the tool first. On the Mazak the tool is already setting there and the display reads the actual location after you did your calculations and entries on the offset in the control. No mistakes or errors. That's a long explanation hope that makes some sense.
