dmu 50 evo linear

[pompey steve]

just looking to talk about pros and cons of the 50 evo linear. i am running two of these machines running heidenhain control, and delcam for 3d work so basically i'm just looking for other people to knock ideas about to get the best out of the machines.

We bought two 50 evo linears with the heindenhein TNC530 Control and 4 DMU50's with the same control. We are having reapeatability issues with the two Linear machines. We had a 57 micron shift in the machine zero. Huge shift in our world. We have to have 2 micron accuracy, which these machines were guaranteed to hit. Very disappointed here.

Hi Mortek,

Do you have a sample 5 axis program for testing the axis movement and rotations on the DMU 50 Evo Linear with a iTNC530? I'm trying to get my post working correctly and I need a working sample program. As long as know the model being machined and can get some working ISO GCode I can make my post match.

Are you using M128-M129 for contouring?

Cheers,

Don
