So you mean "perform a Garwood on that job"?
Opinions on Kitamura Mycenter 5X?
- Thread starter Garwood
- Start date
I hear you and I agree 100%. A big reason it hasn't happened is my health sucked and I was slowly convincing myself that I was not going to accomplish the things I wanted to in business therefore it was a lot smarter to invest the energy and money I did have into passive income streams like rentals.
My shop is technically a "barn". It's my livelihood and it's operating in a pretty gray area. Upgrading the power means I will have county inspectors inside my barn and it may not quite exactly fit the typical description of what a barn is supposed to be. I feel like my best shot at not getting in deep shit is to completely finish my building inside to a high standard, not have machines wired with exposed 2awg wires hanging from ratchet straps, not have gaps in the walls and temporary doors and garden hoses carrying the well water to my house through the shop because I trenched through the piping underground. I need to take care of those things first. Then atleast when an inspector's here I can say I did the best I could, followed the codes the best I could. If I need to fix something tell me and I'll do it. If it's a half finished shitshow and I have to pull permits to complete all the major work I have left I'm pretty fucked. lol.
And the other big aspect is my business has to pay for the shop and any power upgrades from profits. I make products. I had to downsize what I supported because I just couldn't do it anymore. My main profit center stuff I just couldn't do anymore. I've gotten by on a bunch of small simple things for years now. But now that I feel I can do it all, I've refined and redesigned pretty much everything I used to make and I'm relaunching it all. So I'm choosing to spend money to put products on the shelf instead of upgrading the power. When shit gets real and I need that real 3 phase to run lots of machines at once $15k for 3 phase or $23k for a phase perfect to get me by until the electrician can fit me in is not going to be a big deal.

Why would the county be involved in electrical service to your building?
The co-op came and looked. Said it's okay. Fire it up.

The rpc run caps were fine. The aluminum junction block in the rpc was installed without any antioxidant goop on the wires. Combine that with the chemicals from a few sets of exploded capacitors and the junction block was a corroded mess. Took half a day to yard this thing out, trim all the wires back, reconnect it all and shove it back in its cave.
The kit is back in action. Regen isn't bouncing the rpc 1" off the floor anymore. The kit spindle sounds better overall actually.

Get me those 9900s
I couldn't get it to punch out in the few minutes I had, but here's the factory list. I can probably get what's in the control punched out tomorrow.

Can always just take a pic of the screen with your phone. Let me take a look at the list and I'll let you know what you have
Well, the way it displays it would be a lot of pictures. I got it to punch
Had to have it in edit, not mdi. Can't upload the file type here. I'll change it and send it.

You have
pitch comp
high speed skip
bell shape rapids
acc/dcel BEFORE interp linear
bell shape acc/decl after interp
Look ahead is NOT enabled which is odd cause I believe it is needed for the before interp option.

Also looks like you have a data server which is needed if you're gonna run the fun code
Can anyone tell me why when this code is run the tap rapids Z- into the part after the M5?

Make your G80 line like this: G80G90Z1.0M5
G28G91Z0 M19.
G90
this will get you no z-1.6 into your part.
Every one likes to have thier machines “do” things automatically. I like to tell it what to do so I don’t have any surprises. Tool changes, cancel cutter comp, cancel tool length offsets…
G28G91Z0 M19.

I normally do a G91G28 Z0. line before the M01, but if I leave it out the toolchange is faster.
I spose what I need to do is add an M19 to my G28Z0. line, but why?
Why in the world does this control think it needs to go Z negative between turning the spindle and ordering a toolchange?

This was the end of my code for drilling/tapping cycles (metric)
X310.95 (last hole position)
G0Z100.M9 (rapid retract clear in Z)
G80 (cancel cycle)
G0G53Z0.M19 (rapid home to toolchange position orientating spindle on the way)
N2T2M6
M1
( T2 yada yada)
But ref your Q....is there something funky in your toolchange macro?
And yes, instead of M5, if you use M19 it should orientate on the retract home?

Some machines if you orient at the Z1.0 line it wants to finish that orientation Before moving to the next line. If you run a tool change macro every block in the macro adds about 300ms to process each block (M/G code) some guys (builders) write the ladder so a M19 gets completed before any move. If time was a huge factor on a turnkey I would run the rpm to the bottom of the range on the z home move then orient. Sometimes pick up a couple seconds. I guess it all depends how much you want to screw around with the program…

In that instance, you could....as a do it once and forget for ever more....use the 6072>6079 parameter functions for customised M codes.
Create a custom P900X program which is activated by M05.
Then within the program, write
S100 M03 (assuming 100rpm is lowest programmable speed)
M09
M19
Then when at end of program when you call "M05", the hidden 900X program will be activated automatically dropping your rpm to lowest programmable, coolant off and automatically orientating the spindle too.
I suspect the toolchange macro is calling G49 and you have the (really fucking stupid) parameter set that causes machine motion to maintain Z zero when the tool offset (G43/G49) is changed.
A lot of machines come with that parameter set that way OOTB, and I have NO idea why, I always have it set so that G43/G49 update the coordinate system and DON'T move Z.

Off the top of my head I think 5006.6 determines if movement happens with G49 or in the proceeding block commanding movement.
