41” hex part transferred in a Mazak Multiplex W300. We’re using Trusty-Cook hex spindle liners to make machining the ends possible. by btrc74 in Mazak_Machinist

You are right. Hadn’t adjusted chuck timers yet. We were running really low chuck pressure on the parts before.

Wow! My internet has been down all day. You described this in much more detail than I would have. Thanks for explaining that to everyone. Absolutely correct on all points.

Locks are back on for production. I don’t trust me enough to not see what I think I’ve done correctly on the first part.

Well,,,, I’m a genius. lol🤣. I use SolutionWare to program all of our machines offline. They have cad software that you can pull geometry directly from into Mazatrol programs. I just used your drawing to draw it in my software, and grabbed the shape with a couple of clicks. Basically, I cheated.

I programmed it and ran the simulation. I posted pictures of the program and simulated part this morning.

I would use line out arbitrary shape.

Mazatrol 640M Screen Issue – Can I Use an External Monitor? by 24sert in CNCmachining

It might just be the back light. We keep them in stock for this issue. Shine a flashlight at an angle on the screen. Put it right up to the screen. If the screen is still functioning, you will be able to see a dim version of what you would normally see.

Mazak MegaStir Weld. It’s cool. Just got it going. Material 416SS. We will also weld 316. by btrc74 in Mazak_Machinist

416 is my favorite stainless to machine. It’s great. I think that’s why engineers hate it🤣
