Swiss Machine Perfect Titanium Shoe SPIKES using SolidCAM | Tutorial

[@donniehinske]

It is crazy when you look at the last 10 years of advancements in our industry and how easy this is becoming! Also Editors nailed it with the slow motion footage of the ACB+ technology! Nice work Adam!

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

How do you compare this to ESRiT and MasterCaM?

[@badreddineezzine1300]

YEP, it is like LFV (LOW-FREQUENCY VIBRATION ) MADE BY CITIZEN SWISS MACHINES, I am watching you when you are at Dynamic Machine University, I am 8 years machinist Lathe CNC /EDM Wire/Swiss CNC/Milling CNC( from Tunisia ), BTW WHICH CAD/cam is better for Swiss machines: Alkart CNC wizard, Esprit cam, Mastercam, Solid cam, and what are the pros/cons for every program ( from your view/experience), THANK YOU

[@vgl217]

​@@VictorHernandez-nt3tw Can't speak to SolidCam, but my experience with Mastercam mill/turn was awful. Esprit was a massive improvement for all our mill/turn and lathe programming.

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

@vgl217 I wish there was 1 software that beats all but it seems this way. Mastecam great for mills, esprit is mill/turn, wire edm and Swiss specialty and I heard hypercam great for 5 axis but I haven't tried yet!

[@1320pass]

Otherworldly technology. Swiss machining is so fascinating. Donnie thanks for the CAD run thru, you're brilliant bro.

[@Vankel83]

The grooving and getting that thread in there on the 1st op was pretty neat.

[@randyscorner9434]

That's an amazing amount of turning for a track spike.....

[@KenMerritt-b2r]

Great Video Donnie! Awesome to see you working so fluently with SolidCAM! You Da MAN!!!

[@alexloper3084]

Awesome job man 🤯 Legendary Way more efficient on the Swiss than how I make them on our mill turn. Thanks for the shout out brotha 💯

[@donniehinske]

Thanks for the cool idea! Hope to see you at IMTS

[@adamhayes2528]

Donnie is a MASTER at SolidCam

[@piratiniwood547]

Nice Job Donnie, clear explanation. The software has really evolved, now you have a 2 spindle machine, but on the 6 spindle machine with more turrets and tools everywhere, it's a bit more tricky 😅 Please make a video with your multi-spindle machine, thanks.

[@occamssawzall3486]

SolidCAM’s channel sync has been field proven to 6 channels without issue. Theoretically there’s no upper limit to the number of simultaneous channels it can handle. As for programming it’s just a matter of adding additional MAC’s and additional sub-spindles to the VMID.

[@Sara-TOC]

Cool video, Donnie! I'm curious to know how the spikes performed! Maybe a follow-up video? 🙂

[@TwoBirdsOneStoned420]

Thank you for putting in the mastercam

[@shaniegust1225]

4:20 my favorite file name “no idea what i am doing”. This is my new programming folder name.

[@CPTFiXtion]

We've had a three-stream Eurotech rapido for the last year and we've been struggling with programming. I've been suggesting we get something like this and they aren't going for it, but this video might help push them in that direction

[@jerryherrin458]

I use Esprit to program our swiss. I need to look and see if it has a "dual machine simulation" feature like that, because it's a bit annoying zooming between spindles to watch what's going on. Other than that, solidcam looks just as good as Esprit. Cool.

[@tdg911]

Pretty slick...

[@adamrandomguy2347]

I can't immagine what cutting edge technologies are quietly being developed these days. I had the lucky opportunity to work at am engineering company that rebuilt jet engines and steam turbine/nuclear parts. They developed processes like laser heat pool welding (precursor to modern 3d printers) They also put titanium particles in a putty and Pplied then to parts that needed to be built back up and baked them together in a big pressurize kiln. That was over 20 years ago 😳

[@bobbywright3479]

You should make some from tungsten for training.

[@nushratgt5879]

Swiss machine the worlddddd

[@adygee]

Great vid; thanks! Could you tell me how ACB differs from peck turning? Is ACB "vibrating" the tool/holder, or actually using the axis (ballscrew and servo etc.) to produce the movement?

[@supremecommander2398]

your "Death" spikes are actually usefull: put those on shoes to wear while lawn-mowing :D BTW, best thing about your videos... you can show a part from start to finish, including coding... unlike berry, who just posts teasers

[@tomacx1]

What are you holding onto when doing 2nd opp? The tip,flats, or flange....

[@wst2663]

After watching the video, is there a good reason to not use solid cam programming as a standard for lathe for titans of Cnc? Why would you want to use MasterCAM instead of solidcam?

[@Innovativeindustries]

Very nice!

[@anibaljrbalt]

@Titans why do you bore the center of the spike ?

[@olliebrown89]

Are you using mastercam for milling and solidcam for your Swiss machining?

[@donniehinske]

Correct

[@MorphSlashKeepo]

when will we see solidcam swiss-type lessons ?

[@donniehinske]

Our academy that drops in a month

[@MG-gj6vh]

Great Job! :d plese try 3d manipulator for programmin and Simulation checking ;) i use one in 5-axis milling and You thank me leater for that when You use more this when you dont see good because of machine stady parts ;)

[@Callm3lazy]

Can you program it with mastercam?

[@Baard2000]

Looks Great....but 1 remark : those GLOWING Titanium chips can cause a chain reaction with other thin ti chips.......... experienced that 1 time in my shop with a small amount of chips cause the tool got dull ..... and it was scary.....

[@michaelpawluk6791]

Donnie i have a question. How should I do finish passes in my swiss without chatter? I have a 17-4 part with a RA 8 finish requirement. It's a 2.5 inch long part, so I'm not sure how to do this. Thank you

[@donniehinske]

Well that’s a 6 beer conversation right there 😂. How big is the depth of cut? What type of Swiss machine? Can you pinch turn? 🤷‍♂️. Once you go below 10 this starts to get difficult. My best results on 13-8 were with a SUPER sharp insert and a delicate light depth of cut at a speed and feed so slow it would make your eyes water. That was on 53rc 13-8

[@michaelpawluk6791]

@@donniehinske I cannot pinch turn, it's a single slide DMG Sprint 32/8. DOC is about .030" per side in 17-4 pH. My max spindle speed is 8,000

[@donniehinske]

@@michaelpawluk6791 sounds like you are right there. Try a sharper insert and even slower. I’ve also seen the pressure from a .031” radius insert create a good finish. It really sounds like you are right there but playing around with the radii of your insert could get you there

[@AM-hf9kk]

Maybe they i was just cheap, or maybe this is a newer technology than I got to run with... but how much weight are you really saving with that hollow base? Especially in Titanium??

[@benjaminbarnhart2153]

Possibly if they w÷re going to make a million of them, then the scrap from that drilled hole would help reduce the cost per part

[@mehmettemel8725]

@@benjaminbarnhart2153 What about the cost of drill? Definitely cost more than the scrap titanium.

[@13orrax]

how do they make those carbide tips though? i think they might have to be forged in mt doom from lotr or something like that

[@andersgrundstrom1794]

Mix a bunch of different powders together in a liquid until it's really well mixed, boil off the liquid, press the mixed powder into shape, then heat it up. The "glue" part of the powder melts and makes the "hard" part of the powder stick together. After that, add coating.

[@rodneybame]

How much is SolidCAM - Swiss?

[@xsAMOR]

Such type of programming is ok for someone who can do this also in editor, but If one can do it only in CAM, then he’s not full programmer. Yes I understand time consumption and everything what comes in process. Another example: No one can teach how to mow the grass using robo lawnmower.

[@occamssawzall3486]

That’s like saying no one really knows how to use a phone unless they can operate a manual switchboard…

[@jerryherrin458]

Incorrect. Yes, it's good to be able to write from hand, but only to make yourself more familiar with the code. So you can do quick edits or fix bits that didn't post correctly (I always skim through every program after I post just to make sure nothing went wrong...) I'd argue every programmer that can use this software at a high level already knows their g code by heart. You can't say the same about an old timer that likely can't even open their email without help, and refuses to learn how.

[@cataca91]

sir, i understand that programing is easy, but you have to be aware that alot of shops cannot afford to have all their machine environment in the CAM software, having every machine in your software is either incredibly expensive or difficult to create

[@occamssawzall3486]

That depends. If they’re all the same make and model machine it’s just one post and one VMID. Even if it’s a large variety of machines it’s still cheaper in the long run to have them all in CAM. The money saved in time alone will make the ROI in less than a year
