hi friend, with the times that are running and the speed that you have to make the pieces on the turner it seems to me to be a slightly slow but nevertheless intelligent way, at least here in Italy
How do you even get the tailstock to even move? I’ve tried everything as far as my knowledge will let me. It won’t move in manual mode or any other mode for that matter. What am I missing?
In the run display there is a tab "TS. SETUP", on that page there is a select to use tailstock, with it clicked you can hit "select on" key and then "use" key. That's all I have to do to use W on our machines.
M55 and M56 advance until a specific pressure is reached and retract to a set retraction distance. However my sub program tricks the tailstock to only go to the approach point without adding any pressure and retract only a few inches. I also use the sub to change the approach distance on the fly because I am making multiple parts from one piece of stock.
What would you do with it while it makes the next one, just curious? I have done that before but only when catching a single and didn't need to index after the cutoff.
Nice ! That was some creative thinking

Isn't the tailstock advance and retract just M55 amd M56? Why would you need subprograms?

@@joshuayoungers I see all our okumas with tailstocks have hydraulic tailstocks so I guess that would be different with an NC tailstock
@@85CEKR I think so too. He needs to figure it all out due to "dumb" tailstock. But very nice solution, seems to work fine👍
It would be faster and easier to bolt on a catch wire right on the turret.

probably at end of cycle just remove the part, also that would avoid any interference or damage with the next part.
