Incredible 9 Axis Machining on DN Solutions SMX3100ST 

Some people are naturals in their ability to teach. I think it runs in the family.

Those claw jaws are really good

I use Bison Claw Jaws everyday. Some jobs I only clamp on 5mm depth with over 100mm stick-out on a 100mm diameter stock! They're great!

Thanks and nice to meet you.

Start on our free academy.titansofcnc.com Read instructions under the resources tab. BOOM!

@@TITANSofCNC thats actually part of my plan! Im going to do your program while im also in school doing hands on stuff. Planning on only using grants for school so i avoid more debt. While im in school my credit should improve enough to hopefully be able to buy a machine for my house and start workimg. If i hadnt messed up so bad in my youth i wouldnt even bother with school, i believe your program is probably better. Im praying to god for some success in this, because itll save my life

@@TITANSofCNC I actually wound up using your resources to learn Fusion 360 while I was in trade school. They were initially teaching Mastercam, but my small business can't touch the cost of their seats.

Im doing the transfer with spining spindles because im using a robot for loading parts. Spining transfer gives me a bigger chance to avoid chips in the jaws when transfering

@Old Dog Tools: Not faster if next operation is with C-axis machining.

Spinning on approach gives you the opportunity to clean chips off of the part and jaws. The ideal way to do this (at least on the machines I work with, one being a ten axis mill/turn), is to approach with rpm sync, enable and home both C axes and grab static, with the C servos engaged. It's the most accurate way to match feature to feature between spindles. Spindle phase sync is primarily for polygon stock.

@@TheFeralEngineer makes sense, I knew there had to be a good reason. In my old lathe Iv got sub spindle, however it's only a 2 axis lathe so no milling etc, Iv always handed off with spindle stopped. But that makes sense now. Thanks.

@@marcf7008 on any machine with a traversing sub axis, you're doing yourself an injustice by not running it through via the available commands on the control. Simplest way to do it would be (on a fanuc or similar based machine): Handle jog sub to "grip" position Set g54 sub spindle axis (usually A or B) zero point (B, 0, measure) You'll get a distance from machine home of, let's say -14.5" Send the sub home Program structure: O0001; (Left side operations) M5 M1 M211 (sub chuck open on mori) M51 (air blow) M35 (rpm sync) G97s500m3 G0 B3.0 (clearance above part) G1 G54 G98 B0 F20. (grip position) M210 (close sub chuck) M11(open main chuck) G28B5. (Use 5." Above B0 position as "intermediate position" due to sub axis not having an incremental call) (Sub will return home) M5 M36 (disable sync) M1 (Right side operations) M30; Mileage may vary from machine to machine. M codes are always different from each manufacturer, so check your documentation for air blow, chuck open/close and sync commands.

Usually for blowing chips off of the part and to make you puke when you run the machine with a hangover... Ask me how I know...

@@TheFeralEngineer Ah ok, that makes sense. Haha lol, you should've adjusted the shutter time of your eyes to the rpm of the chucks ;p

@@marnixvlot1868 customers took me out the night before and kept feeding me gin and tonics and jagger bombs. I was hurting. Puked on the side street the office was on before I even got there. Then they wanted to see a spindle transfer. When those two chucks came together, they weren't the only thing spinning 🤢🤢. Those guys weren't in much better shape, though. One guy never made it past the bushes in front of the building 😆

i had the same question. Found this video explaining the reasoning @ 1:11 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yCL8cZq0LZI.html&feature=share

Doosan does it the same way as Mori. Split control. Someone must've poked around in your parameters because mori wait codes are 100-199 (100-197 on recent machines because of m198 being external media) sub call. 200 series m codes are dedicated to second spindle commands - m203, m204, m219, etc. M200 and m201 are typically chip conveyor.

@@TheFeralEngineer You're right on with the wait codes, they were 100-199. It's been a couple of years since I worked on a lathe. I got out of the small shop where I worked on whatever needed to run and took a job in the milling department at a larger company. Been doing 3, 4 and 5 axis milling these days, though mostly they give me 5 axis jobs to do in a 3 axis.

Spritcam work very well in this kind of machine.

Probably just leaving more stock for the finish pass would make it better. It’s probably not a heavy enough pass for the chip to curl into the chip breaker. A lot of manufacturers “finish inserts” are still good to about .040” depth of cut and in my experience being up in that range helps with the chip control.

The reason is because DMG MORI does not agree and does not need to pay to appear in these advertisements.
