HOW TO TOUCH OFF TOOLS ON MULTI AXIS LATHE

[@agm8088]

Good vid like always. Programmed, set-up and ran 2 Mori 7 axis DL20s for a number of years. Boss didn´t want us using the arm to touch-off tools. Would always do so on the part itself.

[@mranthony101201]

Why is that? If you don’t mind me asking. I’d assume the indicating arm would be more accurate

[@agm8088]

Presetter would get wrecked and them ain't cheap!

Very knowledgeable and professional presentation. Thanks for sharing!

Wow so helpful please don't stop making videos. You help so much thanks.

[@TomStikkelman]

Thanks for that feedback Raymond.

@@TomStikkelman hello míster Tom do yo have a machine shop ? I would like to work for you

[@spencersedgwick8994]

make sure as well if your not using the direct offset to press cycle stop and spindle lock together to unlock the offset page so you can alter the offest you want, use page down to go through offsets, cursor down will go through each one in x then z before moving down a page, very tedious. Press the blue alarm reset and cycle stop to re lock the offset table (very important or all future touch offs will only afect THAT offset). Lynx 220 lsy with fanuc i control

Tnks Mr Tom, can make a video for fanuc mill g54 z,x,y and tool offset

[@rajughale576]

gr8 video can u please put some how to setup tailstock on doosan and all the good stuff about clearance and psi for diff materials(maybe even chuck psi recom for diff materials)

GRAZIE!! Yuor video is in my training list :), Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for continued share your work experience is very helpful

Thanks very much! Nice presentation!

[@christophercolumbus8944]

hi Tom how do you touch off a drill bit for ZC drilling

[@md8744]

Thank you. If we move whole dia of endmill down by x axis.375 so on mastercam lathe C y axis what we use compensate tool? Thank you so much

[@mmcmmc8102]

Can the air system be opened?

[@Shilohfan69]

Thank you so much very helpful God bless.

[@vichetheng4639]

Hi, I saw your machine has 24 stations. How do you make offset on tool 13. Because I try to index to t13 it look like off center of Y axis. Thank you

[@samaelyhwch8331]

Nice video , thanks for share your experience sir

[@jaredmenia2300]

Hello, can you do a video for work offset in the same machine. Thank you in advance

[@Digitonic1]

Great video Tom just one thing you have Tough in the title instead of touch best vid I have seen on how to touch off tools

[@TomStikkelman]

Digitonic1 Thanks digitonic. Fixing that now. Thanks for your feedback.

[@Digitonic1]

👍👍👍

[@ricardom4913]

Is it just for live tooling? The subtracting half the diameter..

[@eyelook2jesus]

Thank you

[@Andrewatnanz]

Do you have any tricks or tips to check the center accuracy of the Y axis of a axial / radial milling tool? with a gage or something before the part is made? thanks

[@masteryourcnc8790]

You can mount an indicator in the spindle and position your tool in front of the spindle and adjust the offset in Y and Y once you show no run out. Hope that makes sense. Let em know how else I can help. Thanks Tom

[@aebp420]

Why would it be the - Diameter of the tool in X? Do you not want to find the center of it? Would that be the same for a drill?

[@TomStikkelman]

All offsets made on the x axis are done in diameter to get to centerline. Even though you moved -.375 the machine basically only moves half of that. Hope that helps

[@aebp420]

@@TomStikkelman similar to when you need to make adjustments for id or od, you offset the full amount and it cuts half on either side. That does help, thank you.

[@DaRoach5882]

I know this video is old, I recently purchased a Lynx 220LSYC. When I pull down the tool eye the offset page comes up and it automatically selects the tool number which is great but, I am setting up a double sided holder so I have tools on both sides of the tool station. My dilemma is that I cam not able to select tool offsets other than the selected station, how can I scroll down to probe the backside tool? The scenario I have in mind is this: I am using station 1 and have two tools installed one on the left side for the left spindle and a matching one on the right side for the sub spindle. When I bring the tool eye down it highlights tool offset 1 but I plan on setting the right tool to offset 31. I am not able to scroll down to 31 to use the probe. How can I select offset 31 when using the probe? Hope that makes sense! Thank you in advance!

[@cobraframebuilding]

This is going to sound crazy but in the situation you're describing there is a built in feature to unlock which cell is highlighted. With the tool touch setter down press the feed hold and the spindle stop buttons at the same time. This flips a parameter and allows you to use the direction arrows to highlight any cell you want. When you put the touch setter away the parameter is reset how it was. It's not in my manual and none of the guys at my doosan distributor know about this trick, but someone on instagram mentioned it to me and it works beautifully on my 2012 puma 2100sy. It's actually a great system because it keeps you from accidentally overwriting the wrong value. They just need to write it down in the manual and tell their techs about it.

LOVE YOUR ACCENT LOL!

[@umartinez883]

I feel like this was made specifically because of my comment lol any tips on running titanium grade 2? We keep losing boring bar inserts

[@cncsubbu2367]

hi sir gud information

[@cncforallcnchouse9536]

Golden video.

[@nasrahmed6236]

Great thanks alot

[@JohnThompson-wn9km]

Say the tool setter is off in X or Z by like .01”. Is there any way to adjust / calibrate that?

[@TomStikkelman]

Yes. There are parameter that can be adjusted for each side of the the tool setter. You can request those parameters from the machine dealer

[@JohnThompson-wn9km]

Will do, thank you very much!

[@saidsms]

thanks allllot sir uR great..

[@RaiderLobo78]

You shouldn't have to touch off on x with live tooling. It should have an automatic offset like − 14.201

[@ronnieelmore9066]

I run a machine a lot like this. They won't let us touch off tools like this. You have to touch off on the part.

[@TomStikkelman]

Yes I have been in other shops that do that. Not sure why. It makes the process so much more simple in my opinion. Thanks for the feedback Ronnie.

[@ronnieelmore9066]

@@TomStikkelman Tom, I work in a shop where we run a lot of long shafts that are used in electric motors. We chuck these parts running one end then flipping the shaft and running the other end. TIR is a constant problem when we do it this way. Do you have any suggestions to improve TIR we have worked on this for years with out much improvement. Thanks for your other videos they are very informative.

[@TomStikkelman]

Ronnie Elmore Would you mind sending me a sketch or print in an email so I can look at the specs. My email is [e-mail]

[@spikeypineapple552]

Ronnie Elmore this is a standard way of shaft turning. I’d rough both ends in, then flip and finish one end that’s easiest to hold, then flip for a finish on Op4 with soft jaws. Are you using a steady?

[@SearchForTruthHD]

Tom Stikkelman they don’t let them ,touch off on the probe because they either don’t have confidence in their people or the probes have been hit so many times ,they will not give you an accurate position.Touching off with the probe is the fastest and best way to touch off tools ,especially if yo have a full turret.thanks tom

[@aronandreas]

Are you ok with adoption of me? I want a dad with a machine and knowledge like this. 😉
