What generation of control and Renishaw software? If you're installing the GUI 4.0 or higher, it will automatically populate the VFunction key. If it's and older version, you'll have to start the machine in Windows Only mode, then start the V-FUNCTION SETTING executable from the program list. Edit one of the available spaces, then select the executable for Set and Inspect.
Hi super man Charlie. Can you make a vid with the multis 250 on how to make the machine alarm out if the operator goes to lunch and forgets there is a part in the sub spindle? It makes a big bang when he puts in a new part after lunch and the machine does the transfer. lol I think 1149 will take care of that on the sub and 1159 on the main.
Excellent topic! I'll be happy to create a video, but to get you going right away, I'll let you in on my favorite solution for this: The IO to sample the G141 chuck clamp condition can be used as a failsafe. If the workholding is clamped, the machine can assume the part hasn't been removed and could be told to either alarm out, or simply skip to a part ejection routine. The machine IO is VORD[1147]. If that equals 1, the chuck is in unclamped state. By having a safety line in your pickoff that reads IF [VORD[1147] NE 1] NALM then having the alarm section of code handle the contingent, you should be able to avoid the crunch
Any chance we can get a video on how to take a model in mastercam and create stl file to upload for Cas?
Anyone know how to Add apps to your OSP side control? I have Renishaw inspect but can’t get the icon on the side..
