Gday kkungfu,
I've read your post with much interest!
Our Multus is very green with not many hours on it, but has just had the turret re-aligned for the 2nd time. Our Okuma guys insist that it has had a serious knock each time, but they would have to say that.
Both times, the problem was found during the day shift. Both times, arvo shift swear nothing happened except for blowing a tip in cut.
Maybe you should let Okuma know about your "down" times! We've lost the machine for a week on each occasion, with them doing the work.
I can't say I've tried to wack the back of the turret into a guard, but the CAS does stop it when near the sub jaws or chuck.
Okuma have said to use the load monitor, use the load monitor, use the load monitor, but run 3 parts in auto set mode, before letting it into actual monitoring mode. So what happens if a tip blows in the first 3 parts?!
On a side note: anyone in Australia thinking of getting a barfeeder supplied by Bartec should do so knowing that they are cowboys. They dont have a knowledge of their own product or how they should integrate with your machine, as well as producing some very poor quality components. Be warned!  |
