Re: z crashes immediately into table...

SO, it does the same thing with the keyboard and mouse disconnected..with one exception. I don't get the error, but the cycle doesn't want to start. When it finally does...after numerous pressing.....DOWN TOWARDS THE TABLE.

Re: 8 station turret.

For cutting force you can calculate with material, depth of cut an feed. 650N is exceeded even with sha...

Re: 8 station turret.

Before I decided to order this turret, despite of the slow tool change, I made some calculations about the max. allowed 650N cutting force. This is way below what my 1.5Kw Servo could deliver, so I started to design my own rigid build for 16mm tooling and axis driven fast tool changes. Uwe A gang t...
