Wow...I would of expected a bigger difference than that. The 630 is a heavy beast...wonder what the machine weight comparison is between the 2.

I heard rumors that either the Hplus400 or the Hplus500 was Korean built, not Taiwan. I personally doubt that to be true...but would be interesting if it was.

Make sure your entry/exit arc sweep is set to something besides the default 180 degrees.

Your post is kinda old...I see the executable listed as MP 11.0 which is/was an X2 post. Maybe try one of the latest ones and see if it puts out your A axis. Just looking at the revision list for that post there have been MANY changes.

Odd...I just noticed that there is no sample files download for X9 like there used to be. Guessing they are part of the full.iso download. I did note that there are X8 sample files available to download....and its very likely that the swarf.mcx8 file is the same.

If your workstations are part of a domain you are not going to get the notification for Win10. If you leave your domain or log on as a local user the notification will be there.

Looks like the engineer's had a Rube Goldberg concept for a toolchanger.....and ran with it.

I have both X8 & X9 installed. Honestly the last time I remember having an issue with this (change at point) was long ago....like X2 or earlier.

I thought it was fixed a long time ago? I remember I used to have problems with it....no problems now. change at point.mcx-9

I must be one of the odd 2% that runs alot of sh!t dry.

In the pwrtt$ section this is likely commented out sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used

Just an FYI, Mastercam's "post installation setup", which you can get thru your dealer, has a post for that machine. I have not played with it...... maybe a different starting point.

This is a ghetto way of doing it...and not 100% sure it will do what you want, but might be a starting point of getting what you are looking for. frc_cinit : 0 change this to a 1 and force a toolchange on the offending path.

Remember back in the day when circle mill was a c-hook? Like version 5 or 6 or something? Now that was some cool chit.

name your level NoCut. Just a shot in the dark.

it appears that option is gone in X9......then I have not seen the issue that the OP is seeing....

Foggy...is the Matsuura Siemens still a hybrid of Siemens and Yaskawa?

Lyndex has a decent selection of HSK. Quality is right up there with the best IMO. As far as HSK vs CAT/BT? I have not run the 2 side by side. I can say that we have several 20K spindles (Matsuura's) and they are all BT40. We use a few different brands of holders...Lyndex & HPI are our mainstays. We have never had issues....then you gotta be a little smart about it. We don't run set screw holders at 20K. Use good holders. Then typically we don't run 20K for hours on end. If that were the case I would look closer at HSK....tho for our short runs at high RPM's...the ol steep taper has always been adequate.

I was referring to limiting your rotary angles in the operation. You will have to play with it...

just going off your description....you can try to use your rotary limits to get rid of your tiny A axis moves

If its an 840Di with a Siemens controller and Yasnac drives....run the other way as fast as you can. While being an excellent control the support behind it sucks. Sucks. Sucks. 10 years ago it was the fastest control around. The latest Fanuc has finally caught up to it. Siemens and Yaskawa teamed up back in the day...built the control. Few years go by and the 2 companies got into a p1ssing match. Yaskawa dumped everything into Siemens lap. Guess how much fun it is to get support for a Yaskawa product that is serviced by Siemens? Never again will I look at a machine that uses a hybrid system like that. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Tough to speculate on. The 405 is basically a 40 taper 500mm pallet. The 500 is a 50 taper 500mm...so maybe they will keep both? I am not sure which generation of the 405 is current. I don't think they always had a direct drive 4th axis on them so its a safe bet that there are at least 2 generations of the machines out there. As far as companies like Mori coming out with new models every year or 2....that scares me more than comforts me. Refine what you got rather than reinventing the wheel every 2 years. Better controls, electronics, hardware adapted to a tried and true design = a new generation of machine. Reinvent the wheel every year or 2....5 years down the road you have 30 models of the machine you gotta support. Could make repairs/service/finding parts a royal PITA.

The stacker 12 pallet pool is pretty cool. We must be getting quotes for very similar machines.... only downside to the 12 pallet stacker vs the 17 pallet linear pool is being able to add machines to the cell. At one point we were looking into adding an H-Plus405 to our MAM-72 63V linear pool...expanding to 28 pallets???....decided it was going to be too much of a PITA to do. Would of had to relocate the MAM in order to do so.

Make damn sure you get the micro-fine conveyor. The stock one Methods used to use is a worthless hunk of sh!t. Get all 240 tools right off the bat. Will save you $$$ down the road. Augers...also a must have. I believe now that Matsuura is importing all their own machines they are standard.... 20K or 12K spindle? Both are solid. We have the 20K version. The biggest PITA about the machine is the stupid a$$ 3 position safety switch. Only allowing you to certain things with the switch in certain positions. Once you get used to it its not that bad....but compared to our 630 its a PITA. All in all the machine is way solid. Visibility of the spindle as you are running is the best I have seen on any horizontal.
