Machine turns into tortoise mode | | Hi all, I am cutting cylinders diameter 16mm from H13 block (tool steel) with 130mm height.
Im using robofil 310 The cutting speed I was getting from using STEEL/CARBIDE tech file was around 0.7-1.0mm/min , which I was happy with it.
I managed to cut 7 cyclinders that day.
I left the machine through the night to cut few more cylinders.
In the morning found out the cutting was just mere inches and the spool has been used a lot.
The cutting speed was 0.048mm/min! The speed of wire coming out from the spool is still the same as when it was cutting normally, thus wasted the wire.
Could you guys enlighten me how this is happening? I have cut many workpiece before using the same setting for the same material, but this never happen.
My colleague is doing some maintenance cycles now, and hoping everything will be back to rabbit mode again. |
