Challenging 5-Axis Milling on the Mori Seiki --- Fancy Prototype

[@ClockworksOfGL]

This channel does a great job of showing what day-to-day life in a shop is like. The strange, hacked-together fixtures. The multiple operations, because the damn z-axis is 1/4” too short. The machine pushed to the limit in strange ways, and the oddball workarounds that would void the warranty if anyone was watching. Hey, removing the way cover will give us an extra 1/2”! The tool companies post delightful, clean videos to KZbin, where everything magically works every time, and nobody ever rapids the turret into the chuck.

[@ActiveAtom]

Have not seen parts honing for many years now (not in use here) but still seeing your company machine that part then do some honing reminded me of the honing oil smell so strong and it stays with you in time, thank you for the trip down memory lane and we live the lathe mill machine makes really nice parts. Lance & Patrick.

[@zalamachineshop]

That smell always stays with me for a while. Our honing master retires this week. Looks like I'll be spending much more time in the Honing Shop for a while.

[@weldmachine]

Just had a look at your Company Web Site. You are certainly capable of taking on some reasonable sized work. Very interesting looking through the services you have available to your customers. Seems there is Not much you can not do, lol. Great idea showcasing your work on KZbin. I have had similar thoughts myself. Mostly the reasons for posting video,s. Is to get some experience in making video,s that anyone can watch. Wish you all the best with your business. Peter.

3:06 One of those "eeek" moments when running untested program. Not terrible but not great either.

[@zalamachineshop]

Quick pucker up and continue machining. Standard Procedures

[@lancecheramie4176]

ouch keep going...."thats what she said"

[@theoreogangster09]

Awesome video! It would be great if you would add the feeds and speeds for the operations.

[@diegoaguilar9219]

Great job man! I love seeing machinist get creative in their approach to complex parts

[@zalamachineshop]

On this job I had to get creative not many other ways I could have approached it.

[@kisspeteristvan]

not that big huge of a part , but damn . That 'positioning everywhere' is a really nice trick of the 5 ax turnmill

[@willpestka2745]

Well you certainly got my respect for pulling that off

[@zalamachineshop]

Big Guy you should see what I'm pulling off these days. I got more videos coming.

Chuck jaw and plate look like they were pretty close. But ten thou is as good as a mile.

[@engineeringari9136]

Good.. 👍 Material SKD kah?

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Love it! Some great programming, and I love the message at the end!

[@zalamachineshop]

Hehe I need more interesting work to keep the channel busy.

[@akfarmboy49]

I like seeing your tooling choices. What brand of boring head did you use.

[@zalamachineshop]

My favortie boring head in the world. ISCAR

[@gopalsoni6228]

I want to make a one part of copper very tiny

[@owievisie]

Great (and honest) video. How long did it take to program that part, or a simulair part?

[@zalamachineshop]

It probably took around 20 hours in programming alone.

[@ensen89]

@@zalamachineshop did you use cam or did you write the g-code by hand?

[@weldmachine]

Thanks for Subscribing to my channel. The only downside now ? Is i need to be careful what i write in the comments, lol. All the Best. Peter.

[@alexgregg2466]

Nice part, how did you orientate the C axis to start the Milling in relation to the eccentric diameter?

[@zalamachineshop]

Very good and critical question. If you look at the end of the facing op there is a flat I milled on the diameter. I used that to orientate. The damn positional tolerance between the holes was .003" .07mm

it's good help creating parts

Machine name what sir. How make program sir cam are manual written sir

[@zalamachineshop]

My friend this is finished on a Mori Seiki NTX 2000. Programmed in Mastercam.

[@vijayj-mk4sp]

Thanks sir for yours replay

[@janmaurer5135]

what kind of material

[@mannycalavera121]

If I interpolate like that over 1000mm/min I lose positional accuracy (dog leg) how do you set smoothing in esprit to prevent it? Really nice part. Feel your pain about the x axis milling limitations.

[@zalamachineshop]

Yea it was a bit of a struggle but it turned out nice. For finishing bores with endmills I usually ramp. Sacrifice time but get better hole roundness and tolerance. I've held less than .0004" tolerance on a 1.0" dia hole 2" deep.

[@zalamachineshop]

.01mm tolerance on a 25.4mm dia hole 50.8mm deep For the rest of the world that is.

[@mannycalavera121]

@@zalamachineshop yeah it can hold 0.01mm using a spiral bore cycle.

[@asharahmadarrauf]

is it a 3+2 machine ot full 5 axis simultaneous with tcpc ?

[@shiro-r4m]

I seem to remember full 5 axis work in one of their older videos

[@joaoguimaraes6450]

What was your rpm limit when facing eccentric?

[@zalamachineshop]

I believe I had it set at 400 rpm

[@haydenverstin7326]

Question honing vs grinding that ID for me it looks better done on a cylindrical grinder but is there advantage to honing it rather than ID grind it or is is all you have to do that on? I'm a apprentice mainly manual mill and lathe but was learning to use 3 diffrent cnc systems and 2 cylindrical grinders, tool cutter grinders and special shadowgraph tool cutter ( i hate tool grinding ... im hardly trained yet make spade and formtools...

[@kesleycottrell1416]

You really don't want to tell a engineer that. Right now we are working on parts that the biggest dimension is .010. The tolerance on all dimensions are +/-.0001. Not fun at all.

[@zalamachineshop]

I should have clarified parts that fit what you see more or less. Get the fuck out of here with parts that you mentioned. I'm terrified of tiny parts. Give me the hebbie jebbies

Ktool inc make sum back counter bore get the the center bore drop down to bottom an offset an feed In a z+ depending axis u could drill it out. Do two operation in an be do with the bores instead of reworking ktool offer special design also quick turn around from quote to part in business period

Why you always run it dry? No coolant. Video purposes maybe

[@matthewu9666]

Does that NT have the secondary spindle or a regular tail stock? Why didn’t you just make custom jaws to hold the part so that the main bore was parallel to the z-axis so you could bore that .0004” instead of having to take it totally to a different machine to hone it? If you lined up the bore that Mori could hold less then .0004” all day long. I’m assuming you tried cutting it with longer tools and you couldn’t hold surface finish’s or there was too much deflection? That’s why you had to go to shorter tools and cut one half then the other. My shop only excepts the hardest jobs that no one wants to do, but it’s all government work. We would be sued and blacklisted if we tried to make a KZbin video like this. I hope that “helicopter part” wasn’t for the DOD or anybody like that.
