Nice Fixture Design! I liked the Fusion walkthrough of each operation and then the corresponding walkthrough of the machining operations. No detail on the Haas control is too small for me, I want to see more of that. Can you include the rotary in your CAM assembly to check for collision, so one expensive thing won't hot another? Do I hear incremental steps on the spindle RPM to prevent low voltage alarms, etc.? Keep up the awesome work on the knives!
Typically on any long term fixture I'll model the entire table. On this quick turn around type job I'll just forgo it. Would of helped on the collision stuff though. Yea it is a ramp up, machine shuts off otherwise:P
Yes the newer smtc are all servo, and quite quick. I don't think the ss uses more air then a stand vf, you can always check the air required on haas's site.
So I'm running a Ingersoll rand model 2340. Its a single phase two stage piston compressor. You can hearing it running a lot in the background of some of my videos. I'm than feeding that into a external 60gal tank. The tank came from a used screw compressor I bought, which I thought worked.. and didn't. You actually don't need as big of a compressor as I have, but if you go smaller your compressor will cycle on and off a ton. A single phase compressor draws a lot of start up amps, so its quite expensive to have it starting and stopping so often. Best over size what you think you'll need.
@@split141x Thank you. I am also limited with power in the garage. So, cant go with a too big one. BTW, I have a few more questions I would like to ask about your setup if you dont mind. Do you have email for me to contact?
What distributor do you buy your Mitee-bite clamps from?

Is your SMTC servo driven? Does it use any compressed air? Does the SS version use more air?

@@split141x Great!. What size/hp/gal/cfm compressor are you using to run your ss?

Sure its jboggs@triiaxis.com or you can dm me on instagram at split141 (fastest)
