all but the crappiest machines publish this.Īnd the new model has coolant passages thru the casting, they knew thermal growth was terrible.

What really ticks me off is that mori will not give a number that this machine will repeat for. i would be surprised if you're not quite a bit different. Now put your co-ax in the spindle and zero x and y on the collet angle of live tool. using co-ax indicator, in the live tool, zero your x and y on it. I proved the alignment error by this process:īore a good diameter in bar stock. How are your's adjustable? I can't see anything short of machining the dogs. Lube parameter is not available (or protected/hidden) on mine because of this.Īs for horizontal alignment, not there on mine, using Mori/Alps tools. but times four planes and being x-axis it adds up to poor accuracy. Mori upped the lube, and a bit more clearance between ways. I've been told (by the tech) the earliest ones used less lube, but there was an issue with the ways locking up. you've got four surfaces that need clearance instead of two.

the dual plane Y-axis has some inherent inaccuracies, which is why I chose the Mori, thinking it would be the least. Hope some of this helps? Don't give up on your NL their really good machines! Check with your local mori people to get info on the lubrication timer. I suggest getting a skimmer no matter what to remove the tramp from the coolant though. We changed ours to lube a little less (be careful not too go crazy with this as NL's are supposed to use quite a bit of oil) and it's not bad.uses about 1 tank of waylube every five 10 hour days. I think the way it works is it's set to stay on for so many seconds per so many minutes. growing issues as it gets very warm during the day.Īs far as the waylube goes.you can adjust a lube timer parameter within the control to make it lube differently. Is your shop air conditioned? If not than it will always have at least some dia. 0005 an hour untill reaching their warmest operating temperature. 0001 per hour thats pretty good considering some of the machines in our shop grow up to. 0002 regardless of brand.Īs far as growing. Either your turret is out of alignment from a crash etc.or you are not indicating the straightness of your toolholders when you put them on the turret. Getting the Mcodes Right first: function setCoolant(coolant) else if (isSameDirection( have been running an NL2500 for a few years now. I would start with this section if I were you. But big changes are usually documented here on the forum or the ideaStation. Usually, people do a compare between the two.

The machine has Mitsubishi based control with CELOS front end, but does seem to accept fanuc code with just minimal changes.

Thanks will start messing with it, how are post updates handled on customized posts? Just manually implement any updates if we think they are useful/needed?
