When you see a machine manufactured by your own factory in a user’s workshop, belike🧐😱👀🤙👌

Then I made sure the you knew I was there.

Suppose a transformer or switchgear installation is operating normally, but you have some reason to suspect early partial discharge.

There may be no obvious hotspot yet, no visible damage, and no immediate effect on the power supply. How would you approach troubleshooting in that situation?

Would you start with:

A visual inspection
Thermal imaging
Acoustic/ultrasonic inspection
A dedicated PD measurement
Or a combination of these?

One thing I'm trying to understand is how you would narrow down the actual location of the discharge once an abnormal signal has been detected.

For experienced maintenance or power engineers, what would your troubleshooting sequence look like from the first indication through to confirming the source?

Hello. I'm new to 5 axis / 3+2. We have an old variaxis I'm trying to learn to program. We got the machine definition, post etc from mastercam.

I can't seem to get a toolpath to regen while the C/plane & T/plane are set to a plane where the A & C are both rotated.

I have on the other hand successfully gotten a 5 axis curve toolpath to post and run on the machine, so not sure where I'm going wrong.

Any help is appreciated. TIA!

for anyone curious - this is diamond abrasive, not bead blasting. media's reusable too so it's not as wasteful as people assume. going for mirror finish on this one, still pretty satisfying to watch even after doing this a while lol

Hi guys,

I’m new to the manufacturing field and currently undergoing training. I’m machining an aluminum part on a CNC milling machine, but I’m getting a very loud and annoying squealing/chattering noise during cutting.

I’d like to understand what could be causing this and how I can fix it to achieve a smooth, normal cutting sound.

Here are my current cutting parameters:

- Material: Aluminum

- Cutting tool: Carbide end mill, hardness approximately 55 HRC

- Spindle speed: 10000 RPM

- Depth of cut (Z step-down): 0.7 mm per pass

- CNC milling machine

Could the problem be related to the spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool geometry, tool holder, workpiece clamping, or incorrect cutting parameters?

What parameters would you recommend changing first?

I’m a beginner, so I’d really appreciate a simple explanation and advice from experienced CNC machinists. Thank you!

I'm working on a Mori Seiki CL-200 with an MSC-803 control and I'm having an issue with the Program Protection function.

The control language had changed to Japanese, but I was able to get the language changed back to English.

The remaining problem is that when I press Program Protection, the control immediately asks for INPUT PASSWORD. It requires a 5-digit password.

I checked the parameters and found:

• Parameter #58: *****
• Parameter #59: *****

I don't know the passwords for either parameter. I have not changed or overwritten #58 or #59.

I'm trying to figure out how to reset/clear the Program Protection password or properly unlock program editing on the MSC-803.

Does anyone here have experience with the CL-200 / MSC-803 and know the correct procedure for resetting this password? Is there a factory/service procedure for clearing it?

I don't want to randomly change parameters and risk losing programs or machine settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
