Quality Problems

The Cutting Results Are Not Attractive

Are the cutting conditions optimal?
Is the tip of the tool bur worn?
Has EXOFS been set?
Is the workpiece firmly secured in
place?
The optimal cutting conditions are determined by the balance
between factors such as the workpiece hardness, the feeding
speed, the spindle rotating speed, the cutting-in depth, and the
tool bur capability. Make adjustments a little bit at a time while
checking the cutting results.
If the same tool bur is used for cutting for a long period of time,
it will become worn and affect the cutting results. Try replacing
the tool bur with a new one. The work time of the tool bur can
also be managed in VPanel.
EXOFS in the NC code mode has a function to shift the origin.
Set EXOFS to zero, and then set the origin again.
Procedure for setting EXOFS to zero
1. Select [MACHINE] from the display of the coordinate system
in VPanel.
2. Move the tool bur position to "X: 0," "Y: 0," and "Z: 0."
3. Select [EXOFS] for the [Setting Reference Point].
4. Select [Set X-, Y-, and Z-origins here] for [Setting Reference
Point], and then click [Set].
Check the mounting condition of the workpiece. If the workpiece
is not mounted on the machine correctly, the workpiece may
become misaligned during cutting.
