Hi guys,
So, I bought a DeaWoo Lynx (Because I have 2 Machining centers from them and love them), and the saying is true I think. "You can turn a lathe guy into a mill guys but not a mill guy into a lathe guy"..haha.
Anyway, I have run a few jobs on this machine but I dont set it up very often. Once every 4-6 months. So, I forget the tricks.... etc. And, I dont think I ever really set it up correctly. For instance, the Tool setter arm. I didnt use that ;) I'm not even sure how I got it to run correctly but I know I made alot of adjustments to do so. So my question for you guys is, can you tell me how to set it up? I have looked for videos on youtube and searched and even got the setup procedure from my DeaWoo Dealer but still just dont seem to get it.
I know there is a very specific procedure you must follow in order for the setup to work.
First off, the reference point. Is this just a reference point out in the middle of no where?
How do I locate my fixture offset?
And from there, I believe, I should set the first tool off the part (finished cut) and somehow teach the machine...? Then each tool off the pre setter and it will calculate all the offsets....? Idk. But I was pulling my hair out this morning ;)
Anyways, thanks for your help guys.
Tom
