The comments about the ballnose cutter cutting on an angle was interesting to me. I use a lot of ballnose and tapered ball nose cutters on my 3 axis cnc router, and now I'm thinking I should increase the RPMs. Unfortunately I can't change the angle, but realizing that a ballnose is effectively a very small diameter tool in those situations may help me out!

I always love watching your machining videos. The part that I love best is when you explain what you did and why you did it. You always put a lot of thought into the process, trying to avoid mistakes and tool wear before they happen. That's the sign of a great manufacturing engineer! When I was programming back in the 1980s and 1990s we did not have CAM..... Everything had to be programmed by hand, one line at a time. And, as in this case, we always have to be careful not to run the tool into clamps or holding fixtures (like chucks and tailstocks). I wouldn't even imagine how to begin programming the way you do...... It's totally amazing! I just wanted to tell you that I consider you one of the best manufacturing men out there..... ANYWHERE. It's your kind of thinking processes that brought technology to the point of where it is today! 👍

Nice work dude 💯 I think you could program that with a subroutine, at least the roughing. I have been doing that using incremental H commands for the rotation angle instead of C. The coolant causes thermal cracking of the carbide because the insert is engaged in the material for that split second and isn't getting coolant until the chip curls away, and then it is exposed to the coolant again and rapidly cools. Like you said, it's better running dry with air blast maintaining a consistent temperature at the cutting edge. I get at least 4 times the tool life running dry like that. I also have a Mitsubishi index-able I use for steel, VP15 grade I think, it kicks ass.

11:25 a good way to think of this is that the center of the tool is traveling nearly zero linear distance per revolution. Think of it like standing on the very center of a merry-go-round. This means that the chip load, no matter what the feed rate, has the tendency to explode to infinity. The absolute center is removing infinite material relative to its linear surface footage. There is also, as you mentioned, the issue of recutting the chips. Those fines will act like sand paper. We use some CNMG inserts for heavy roughing on 1040 at my shop. We are taking .130 DOC at ~.025 IPR. There is a brutal interrupted cut in the middle of the roughing. The inserts last about 35 parts with high pressure coolant, and 50 without. My theory is that it's the thermal shock induced during that interrupted cut, and the coolant makes this worse. In addition, the Sandvik inserts we use seem to behave better once the coating has some heat in it. In light cutting applications like this, I think about it like the process of burnishing... The metal has to be warm to be nice and ductile so that the tool and workpiece slick past each other. Im a junior machinist, still learning and I don't know a dang thing. Please let me know if there's anything I am thinking about incorrectly.

Here is a general question that came to mind. I am setting up an Okuma CNC lathe with no tool presetter. I touch off the Z against a machined face using a dowel pin which works fine for both external and internal tools. The X of external tools I can touch off against a piece of machined stock with known diameter again using the dowel pin. With boring bars I might do the same against an inner surface (would need a larger diameter to have enough room to hold the pin) but it seems a bit more impractical. How do you go about this, any tips and tricks?
@EdgePrecision
@EdgePrecision 3 ай бұрын
To set a boring bars diameter or X offset I usually actually cut a diameter with the bar. Jog the tool up to the part manually skim a diameter by manually jogging with the spindle running. Then jog back in Z without moving the tool in X! Far enough back so you can measure the bore. Then on the control your machine should have a teach function to set the X offset. This is the best way to manually set the X offset on any tool. You can do the same with a OD turning tool by cutting an OD diameter and mic the diameter and then teaching the X offset as well. If for some reason you can’t make a skim cut with your boring bat but you have a turn’ed diameter on the OD. You can carefully jog the boring bar up close to the part with your dowel pin on the OD hanging over the parts end just enough to touch the boring bar. Now carefully jog the bar in X till the dowel pin just contacts the bar’s tip. Then teach that OD’s diameter in X for that tool. This should set it reasonably close. Just set the wear offset smaller for your first cut. Then make the appropriate adjustments after the first cut. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much Peter! In fact just yesterday I did set up boring bars with the overhanging dowel pin and made test cuts afterwards and they were within 0.05 - 0.1 mm. But I would like that close to an order of magnitude more accurate. We do a lot of small production runs so reducing setup time is a necessity although accuracy is always my first goal.

About the collision problem, do these machines not have safe limits? I run an Okuma lathe, and it allows you to simply set a limit to where the turret is allowed to go, and it will not go any further than that. Mind you, I've never worked with Mazak or, sadly, with one of these lathes with a milling head, so I might be completely off here.

Great video. It's really great to see somebody doing similar work. I also use ESPRIT and helical flight part but contoured so no flat bottom face. But we are limited to a VNC535 with rotary. Hopefully, we can get some intergrex 200 soon! Is the wall a vertical 'ish'? Look into the free form scarf cycle with solid EM. Maybe get more consistent finish side to side, possible cycle time reduction.

Hello! I'm wondering if you got any info on running ISO/EIA programs outside Mazatrol? Not very much info in my language to help me out. I've got ISO/EIA to run through Mazatrol, to some extent. But I'm having difficulty running them standalone on my Integrex 200-IV. I don't even know what mode to run them through. Any help would be very much appreciated!
@EdgePrecision
@EdgePrecision 4 ай бұрын
I run only ISO/EIA (G Code) programs on the Mazak Integrex. My machine is a E650 H machine with a 640M Pro control. First of all you Cam software has to be able to post code that is compatible with your machine and its control. Or you would have to know exactly how to edit the code to make it work. It's not going to be possible to run the machine on just any code. The mode you run in is the same as a Mazatrol program. It is how you select what you running (Not editing) program that determines if your running EIA or Mazatrol. On my control to select the running program. I would press the MEMORY key then the soft key PROGRAM then the soft key WORK No. you should get a popup window where you select a running program. (This is the same as you select a Mazatrol program). What you have to do is make sure your EIA program is in there (That folder on the hard drive) to select. There are two folders my control uses. C:\MC_Machine Programs This is for the running programs. And D:\MC_Backup\Programs This is where I can store programs in my control. So from my computer I send my program to this folder over an either-net connection/cable. But if your control has a USB port you could also copy and past it from a USB stick to that folder. Then in the control I use the PROGRAM TRANSFER soft key to move it to the running directory. To do this. First be in the manual mode. To get to that key first press the PROGRAM soft key. Then the PROGRAM FILE soft key. Then the DIRECTORY CHANGE KEY. Change to the BACKUP PROGRAM directory. Then high-lite the program number and push the PROGRAM TRANSFER soft key and input key on the keyboard. This will transfer that program into the STANDARD PROGRAM directory. (That's what it is called on the program transfer window). The running directory (Standard Program) has limited memory size so if your program is to large it will give you a error message saying you file is to large to fit. The Directory folder D:\MC_Backup\Programs has a large memory size to store many or all your programs. So store your programs there and just transfer your running program to the C:\MC_Machine Programs (Standard Program) only. I also leave my Renishaw probing programs there permanently. Also you need any sub programs your main running program may call in that directory or it will not find them. That's kind of a long answer also your control may use different directory/folders on it's computer to do this so you may have to determine that. Hope that helps Thanks!

Running programs through Mazatrol works, but it does not accept many standard G codes, like G54, G90, G91, etc. Hopefully it will accept these once I get it running standalone outside Mazatrol.

Nice vid as always :) Have you ever tried running a program from the HDD directly? I’ve run a 3 axis mazak with the 640M control and if your had a program on the HDD, you could run it using Tape mode instead of memory mode, I think you need to use a program number that’s not in memory for it to work. Also a disadvantage is that you can’t see the current line the control is on as it seems to kind of drip feed it internally. If you do it correctly you should get a red HDD (I think) icon in the bottom right corner of the screen next to the green TPS(I think again, it’s been a while :) ) Thanks for the great content

Thanks this is helpful, curious though the G68 (plane rotation?) With the J1. What is that for.
@EdgePrecision
@EdgePrecision 6 ай бұрын
Actually it isn't necessary. It's there because I selected to rotate it in in the cycle. Whenever you see the letters I,J,K in a G-code program they are corresponding to X,Y,Z. So the G68 X0. Y0. Z0. I0. J1. K0. R0 Line X0.Y0,Z0 is the rotation center point and the I,J,K are defining the rotation line from the rotation center point. In this case in J 1.0 for the Y axis. But as I said this rotation doesn't really rotate anything from the normal XY plane. Because the R value is zero. For milling on the OD for instance the R would be 90.0. That would mean you would also index the B axis to 90 as well and be milling like a vertical mill but X plus is toward the chuck. As if you were standing behind a vertical mill. Because the rotation is at 90.0 degrees. Does that make sense?

@EdgePrecision ok, yes, that makes sense thanks. One more question... I am currently running a V.T.L with live tooling and have been using g12.1 to program c and x axis milling tool paths. But we have recently purchased a horizontal lathe with a y axis and do not have a post processor to support the y axis yet. So do you think it would be possible to to write a program using g12.1 with c and x and then change all the c's to y's and just interpolate the x and y because with g12.1 active it converts the c axis from degrees to absolute numbers? Forgive me if this is a silly question but I do not have much 4th and 5th axis experience. Any advice on y axis programing would be greatly appreciated because Trying to write by hand is not going to well lol. Thanks again!

Just as an FYI if you didn't already know, you can put a main program in the machines memory that just has an M98 with the program number of the actual program you want to run and it will go grab the main much larger one out of the hard drive of the machine with the actual toolpaths which is much larger and run it that way. I do it all the time with my 15+ MB surfacing programs that I want to do all at once in my 2MB mazak controller. It does not seem to affect the reading speed of the code at all and lets you fit extremely large programs and run them all at once

I agree with everything except taking finish cuts without coolant. I run all milling tools "dry" with AIR blast and finish using coolant. Maybe with that particular tool you have or something it doesn't work well, but otherwise in every single scenario I run coolant. If you try to run feed mills or high speed machining (profit milling in esprit) without good air blast, the amount of heat generated breaks down the coating on the inserts and they fail. At least that's been my experience

The code for wrapped contour that the cam software generates is really very simple. For instance the finish floor passes on this part. The machine while in the middle of the pass is only moving two axis. The Z and the C axis. The X,Y and B axis are not moving once posistioned. You just get the allusion watching it that it’s more than that. Your brain processes it like the machine is traveling down a helix but it’s just going in a straight line (the Z axis) and rotating the C axis to match the lead. The cam software just figures out where that is.

13:22 I'm sure you probably could have kept that angle and not had chip evacuation issues when cutting the other side if you shifted in y, instead of the cut happening towards the operator have it happening away that way you don't run into b axis rotation limitations since it doesn't need to move, your just shifting that tool path not quite 120° but maybe say 100, so instead of doing the bottom of the cut like shown in 8:24 on the bottom of that ball you can do it on the side of the ball you'll probably run into clearance concerns and definitely visibility issues when setting up but it may be worth the extra hassle in that case, the endmill is round and cuts a round profile so you won't run into any different deflection issues than normal, just in a different direction, instead of the tool moving up it will be on the side and still away from the part because your climb cutting

the axes of the machine must be treated and the b-axis must be straight. Otherwise the surfaces will not meet and there will be stairs. Wonderful work.👍

If I'm understanding what you are saying? What most people don't consider when milling an OD like this with a regular endmill. The tool is cutting on its center unlike when milling flat surfaces a standard endmill when facing is just cutting on the edge of the tips, because most endmills have an intentional dish of 1-1.5 degrees on their tips. So on an OD they will not leave even a flat while going down the helical spiral. There will be a hump in the middle. If you mill around the OD just feeding the C axis this will be even more pronounced. Unless you had a special endmill ground with a flat tip. So a standard spiral wrapped pocketing cycle wont leave a nice finish on the C axis moves. Now the way I did it isn't exactly perfect either, but with the .125 tip radius on a .500 diameter tool it is in effect milling with a .250 diameter tool. The big tip radius blends together the individual passes to leave a better finish then a .250 endmill would leave.

How you measure a endmill ? If its not full diameter? Like 7.8 mm. ?

@@mateuszordakowski7414 The machine does have a laser tool setter. But it has never functioned sense I have owned the machine. It also has a tool setter arm. It is so difficult to use because it is very high up above the spindle. It is easer to manually to touch off the tools for me. But even on machines that I have used a tool setter on. I never use them to set endmills diameter. I just measure the diameter with a micrometer.

Ahhhh yes, the machine's memory capacity. We own a small 4-axis Mazak, which has 8Mbs of memory after it was upgraded from 2Mbs! With modern 3d adaptive strategies it is far too little. I do not understand why is it such a problem and why a controller worth like 20k USD does not have let's say 1Gb of memory? It's ridiculous!
