A couple of other things in the manufacturing section... We've gotten a number of other new tools. These include a shop air compressor, a 4x6 horizontal/vertical bandsaw, and a 40" 3-in-1 sheet metal machine (roll, press brake, and shear). Dave Masten has been showing Dave Weinshanker and myself how to use it and how to get along with sheet metal. Along with the shop air, we've gotten a number of very tasty air tools, including a die grinder, a drill, a nibbler, and a body saw.
Also, the milling machine appears to have a problem with responding correctly to a spindle stop command in a program. Basically, when the controller issues a command like spindle stop, it waits until it gets confirmation before proceeding to the next line of the program. However, the rpm sensor on the spindle, while it normally reports correctly, does not report a spindle stop correctly. Therefore, when a spindle stop command is included in a program (in order to, for example, change tools), the spindle stops and the program hangs. I have developed a work around using the programming interface, but it is not a happy thing. _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
