Fagor canada has insisted that the part files be in 6 digit .pim format and we did that . Only some files ( not all ) would show up at cnc . Moreover , these files wouldn't run . First was a x axis ( softlimit ) alarm , Fagor said to take G54 out of the code & so I was presented with a y axis ( soft limit ) alarm after that .
My knowledge of cnc is limited , my knowledge of cad/cam consists of 227 mind numbing bobcad/cam training videos , i understand the basics of electrical and plc and this is the first machine of 3 im trying to bring online in my garage .
Too cheap to hire someone to do er , im getting the feeling that this is going to be a very educational experience .
