I have been a big fan and user of Mori Seiki machines for many years. Recently, however I had issues with two NH4000 DCG horizontals that were both manufactured in 2008. Both machines have a full 4th axis and have built-in direct drive motors on them . The machines will run and position in rapid mode but will not rotate in feed mode without an alarm. After taking one apart we found the windings to be fully shorted and the fix was extremely costly. Because we also have a 2005 machine with no issue I thought it might be no coincidence that I have 2 machines the same age that have major 4th axis issues. If anyone has had a similar issues with this Mori machine manufactured in or around 2008 I would like to hear about it.

Matsuura MC-700H optional airblow
so im having an issue getting my Optional M codes to work . each time i try to use the M25 i get error message 2401 m-code that should not be used is commanded. The problem is if i use the optional m codes the machine stays on idle because its not receiving a finish signal to proceed. I emailed Matsuura but they are really bad at responding back and really vague on their responses and i believe they are holding back critical information that i need. The machine didnt come with the air blow option. so i had to install that option my self, my electrical is fine i believe.
does anybody know the parameter needed to unlock the m25 , m27 option . Has anybody wired the optional air blow on the matsuuras.
i have emailed , Matsuura , Yamazen they rarely respond and the respond i get are extremely vague. Methods no longer carries Matsuura so they cant help me .

Anybody repair Yaskawa AC drives?
Yaskawa wants a flat fee of about 1600.00 bucks ,I thinking if I was to chance it and pay actual bench time,the price should be much less.
Nothing fried I was warming the machine up and excessive current alarm came up.
I have a borrowed drive and it works fine
But their going to want their borrowed drive back:rolleyes5:

Cutter comp show up after canceled, Need help please
Fanuc OMD, Yang VMC. Couple days ago some of you helped me learn to hand code nested parts using G52 and subprograms. Work greats and much appreciated. However, in the pocket sub I am using G41 and despite canceling it G40 in sub and main, it will show up on the next op, subprogram by the exact amount=.0781 radius. I noticed this when proving and added g91 g28 z0. x0.y0. That seemed to fix the problem but it just showed up on the last subgroup Undercut, scraping the parts. I posted Main code, the pocket sub, then undercut sub(scraped here). Sorry for all the code but without it no one can help. Thanks you.

Control cant find block number of sub in program Millplus DMU50v
Im making some gears with my DMU50v and the control has developed a problem locating the sub block numbers in a program. Ive used the same code to generate gears on this machine using the B axis as a rotary a number of times but today I get the error P08 at N31 "block number to repeat not in program". As you can see below, the block no is in the program. This code ran before, I checked a gear program used about a month ago to cut some gears, exact same code. Any idea what I might be missing?
I was testing a new post processor recently and ended up with some output that had errors and wouldnt run. Wondering if the program directory is corrupted.

Machining a helical cam groove
Hello All,
I am working with a machine shop in China who seem, from the correspondance I have had thus far, to be convincing. I have sent them a design for a sand casting (about 6"x3"x5") which requires secondary machining of a helical cam groove.

I had assumed that the casting would be within 0.3mm and be machined to tolerance with a T Slot cutter. However, this seems to be causing consternation. They claim that because the groove is undercut they need to use EDM which is pushing up the cost, both significantly and unnecessarily in my view.
Anyone's two cents would be greatly appreciated.

Lud

ball screw repair
I had my x axis screw rebuilt a little over a year ago. Last week I replaced the thrust bearings and discovered the axis had gone from .0005 backlash to .00175 ish. Upon inspection my ball nut somehow dropped one of the internal return "plugs" in to my saddle along with the 16 balls, all in one cute little pile amazingly. The screw still moves smoothly (not surprising since there are 8 circuits in the damned thing and only one dropped out).
I would like to try to fix it in the machine if possible since I can unbolt the ball nut mount and jog the nut over to where I can get to it. Removing the screw completely is a giant pain since the machine resides in a single car garage with about 1 inch of clearance on either side of the table travel.
Anyone know what kind of "glue" they use to hold the internal nylon plug type returns in? I have an identical screw from a machine I bought for parts that needs re-balled and all of the return plugs + the end seals are held in by some kind of thin brownish adhesive.

Hardinge gt27 collet pressure question
Hey guys is there any way(parameter setting) that i can change the minimum allowed collet pressure on this lathe. Right now anything below 140 psi it throws an alarm and wont run. This is problematic because this is a super precise lathe (.00005) offset adjustments, but it crushes parts like the junkyard crushes cars. Any help would be greatly appreciated

drill selection and minimizing burrs. Making lots of holes in AR500.
I'm working on a job with 1/2" thick AR500 plate where it needs 2,100 5/16" holes. It's around Rc 50 hardness. What kind of drill would you use for this? The edges cannot be chamfered so I'm not sure what to do about burrs on the back side. Possibly burning off or media blasting? Or predrill slightly undersize and finish with an endmill? I think I would set up 3-4 of the same tool and have it switch out mid part so it never gets too dull.

Form tapping 304L pipe in a lathe?
Guys, quoting a job just now and looking for some advice/reassurance.
304L stainless pipe 1/2" SCH80, need to put a 2xD M16 thread in the ends, pretty high quantity, enough that I don't want to single point.
Nominal bore is about 13.8mm, so using a cut tap would be in the skin of the pipe for the most part even if I bored to 14mm first. I don't expect much life from my tap in that situation.
Alternative is to form tap, bore to 15.1mm which should completely remove the surface of the material before tapping.
For some inexplicable reason, my Doosan only has rigid on the live, not on the main, so I'd be using a tension tapping head. I have a couple of different ones to choose from - a pafix dead length release and a selection of plain tension ones. The pafix works superbly whenever I've used it before, but I've only ever used it with cut taps.
So my question is, how many parts would you expect to get from a tap under these circumstances, using soluble oil?
TIA, Gregor

Spiral and conical interpolation.
Hey guys. We have a mori seiki nh6300 with an f31ia control. I've been playing around off and on trying to get it to do a spiral interpolation. With no luck. Keeps giving me an over tolerance of radius alarm. Is this a sign that this function is not turned on? Or just bad code.
Ex:

Horizantal CNC Machining Center
Hello,
We are planning to buy New Horizantal-Cnc-Machining-Center, we receive proposal from several companies like Daewoo, Toyoda etc.
Also we receive proposal from Hyundai wia which is Hyundai-Wia HS5000/50 , When i observe the technical specifications of the machine, it looks quite enough for our needs and ofcourse its price is lower than the other machines.
My question is , I haven't huge experience about Horizantal CNC machining center , Is there anyone who work with this model of Hyundai-Wia horizantal machining center, at least is there anyone who work with hyundai-wia cncies(Lathes, cnc milling centers), Is there anyone who have some experience with Hyundai-Wia or knowledge about Hyundai-wia cnc machines????
Any suggestions???

How does my riser plate look on our Brother R450X1
Just finished reworking the solid model for our Brother R450X1, and designing the riser plate for our Vero S system. Am I missing anything? The travels of the machine are represented by the gray boxes, and the longest tool length is represented by the line coming out of the spindle.

Endless loop: Main program terminated by M99
I'm adding new features to the rs274ngc G-code interpreter to make it more compatible with Fanuc and other controllers. One such feature is numbering the main or sub-program with e.g. O1, and adding the M98 and M99 codes. (By contrast, rs274ngc-flavored code allows no main program number, and sub-programs are defined with O1 sub...O1 endsub and called with O1 call.)
Smid 3rd Ed. offhandedly mentions on p. 384, "Subprogram Functions" section, para. 2:
Although M99 is mostly used to end a subprogram, it may also
be rarely used in the main program, replacing the M30 function.
In this case, the program will run 'forever', or until the _Reset_
key is pressed.
On p. 488, Smid mentions the use case of a machine warm-up program where the program runs endlessly until the operator toggles block skipping, which enables a / M30 block. Another use case is in bar cutting.
My question for you experienced machine operators out there is, how is a main program distinguished from a subprogram? Consider the following example:
The G-Wizard guy explores endless loops at length in a tutorial; look about 40% down the page for the section "The G-Wizard CNC Editor Can Help You Debug Macros and Identify Infinite Loops". He says Mach3 prohibits endless loops, and
Most g-code dialects, when faced with an M99 and no M98 having
called will simply start executing the very first line of g-code
at the top of the program again.
This seems to make sense in the tutorial's examples, where there is no O-word indicating the main program number. But those examples and others I can find (e.g. a Haas lathe manual) don't treat the case of the numbered main program.
I can see two ways to handle this:
1) Simply pick the first numbered program (O1 in the above example) as the main program. The Fanuc examples all seem to have subprograms following the main program. However, I don't know if this is a requirement, and the rs274ngc case isn't instructive, since O sub-style subroutines may come either before or (now that I unbroke a several-year-old regression) after.
2) Prohibit M99 terminating numbered programs. The controller would raise an error for the above example, and the example could be fixed by removing the O1 block.
Any suggestions?

Running lights-out - Tool checking / Spare tools?
Just started doing some longer-running parts over night recently. So far it has been positive. It's nice coming in the morning and having finished parts waiting on the table, or the machine still running.
I'm running sub-programs, so each tool runs through all parts before the next. I'm also running tool breakage checks between tools.
Run times for this part is about 1 hour each and I'm setting either 10 or 12 parts to go at night. So far, tools have been pretty reliable. I've gone about 80 parts.
Then one morning I come in and I lost a tool about 1/3 the way through. Machine stopped as expected, but the loss of productivity is disappointing. Time to look at advanced tool management. (This is on a Haas) I figured it would be nice to setup a spare tool for ones that may potentially be a problem.
The ATM groups are working okay. It does have it's quirks it seems. I quickly found out that Haas does not like you staging the next tool, if you have T&H code agreement on.
eg:
T1021 M6
T19
..
G43 H1021
Will throw an alarm. OK, easy enough fix. I'm using H#3026 for now. Curious as to what you guys are doing? Leave the tool-staging out? (does it matter if toolchange takes a few extra seconds? probably not)
So, after lot of post-modifications, I have it checking for tool breakage between tools (like before) and tools that I'm going to use in a group, it checks after each part. If one of those tools in a group breaks, it will mark the part bad (skip on subsequent tools) and grab the next tool from the group.
This is all new territory for me. I'm curious what you guys are doing for lights-out operations? Break checks? Spare tools? Or something else?

Have a question about Reamers
Good Afternoon,
We are investigating a few new to us reamers, and I was wondering if any one had any input on the following reamers:
MAPAL Single blade, indexable insert reamers w/ carbide lands
Cogsdill - Shefcut Design indexable insert reamers w/carbide lands
Has any one used these? How did they work? Any feed back would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Form tool Problems
I have a part that has a bore measuring 4.745-4.770mm dia and about 11mm deep. It,s produced on a tornos sliding head lathe and drilled on the second op.
The problem I'm having is every time I change the form tool, either because a different set up or worn tool, its a nightmare to get working within tolerance again, the bore comes out .1 over size and even tho the from tools are made .02 under size to allow me change the wear.
The bore is drilled out by a 4.6mm carbide drill before the form tool goes in, the reason I use a drill so close to form tool size is because the form tool vibrated with smaller drill, so I drill out as much as possible.
Machine has been clocked and every axis is perfect so from should be on size first time, but for some reason I have to plus up by nearly .185 in to wear before I hit my sweet spot.
I get the tool cutting within tolerance eventually but I every time is different and no solution to why a perfectly clocked machine with new tools doesn't cut on centre first time.
Hope I'm making sense
Anyone ever experience anything like this.

Please check my tapping Fanuc Doosan Tap Break
Ive been running a Doosan DNM 500 for about 15 months. I program with HSM Express in Solid works. From day 1 the other employees told me it does not tap well. We break A LOT of taps. I have been going through and not so systematically eliminating problems. I talked the owner into buying through coolant carbide drills in our common tap drill sizes. This was a huge step up. I replaced a mixed bag of brand/type taps with a good brand of taps. Most are spiral flute, "semi bottoming" as most of our holes are blind. That helped... a little.
Today I was rockin and rolling, making good head way on the pile of shhtuff the office threw out monday. I setup a part, first setup, simple, two tapped 10-24 holes. Drilled, chamfered, tap in, tink, nothing out. This was a nearly new tap, it had previously tapped 4 holes in O1 and 5 holes in 6061. I was tapping O1.
I drilled .510 deep with a #25 Guhring Carbide drill (3.8 or .1495) @ 5109 RPM .004 feed per rev. Chamfered .015, then tapped .400 deep with a Guhring Goldring Powertap form C @ 452 RPM (20/ft/min).
I will have a picture posted in a little bit of the actual part. I cross sectioned it because I was curious WHERE the tap broke. I do have pin gauges at home I can measure the hole and see what the actual dimension is. Calipers say .1495.
Coolant is nice and rich right now, ~ 10% +, Betasol 210 EX, though it is hazy, not a crisp line like I like.
I have told the owner that short of me having the Doosan folks, the Guhring folks, the Pioneer folks, and the HSM folks locked in a room to sort the issue out, I really am at a loss. It is beyond my experience.
Any constructive help, please, please, let me know. Feel free to ask a million questions, I am sure I missed at least that many details.
Today I was rockin and rolling, making good head way on the pile of shhtuff the office threw out monday. I setup a part, first setup, simple, two tapped 10-24 holes. Drilled, chamfered, tap in, tink, nothing out. This was a nearly new tap, it had previously tapped 4 holes in O1 and 5 holes in 6061. I was tapping O1.
I drilled .510 deep with a #25 Guhring Carbide drill (3.8 or .1495) @ 5109 RPM .004 feed per rev. Chamfered .015, then tapped .400 deep with a Guhring Goldring Powertap form C @ 452 RPM (20/ft/min).
I will have a picture posted in a little bit of the actual part. I cross sectioned it because I was curious WHERE the tap broke. I do have pin gauges at home I can measure the hole and see what the actual dimension is. Calipers say .1495.
