At least you have accurate repeatability which says a lot for the quality of your machine.

It had better do better than 'Bong'.
I am hoping, at least, for 'Splat'.

I didn't buy it !. I just had it on my watch list to see how much it made, honest !.

Anyway, just wait till I have fitted this little beauty to my machine (long term project for the winter months).

But wouldn't it be the machine playing the machine so it has to always win (one way or another), doesn't it ?

Brilliant suggestion Glenn but I think I will pass on this one and leave it for someone else to do.

Hi Fellas,

Every time I throw something away (to make room) it's not long before I need it and then regret throwing it.
Perhaps a 'recycle bin' (on full pay) that gives us a second chance should be mandatory for all employers.

Hi Sam,

It's a solenoid operated air bleed valve which destroys the vacuum in the pick up nozzle to drop the part when required (the ROC-R pump runs continuously). The solenoid is powered from the spindle supply (via a transformer) and controlled by the M3 and M5 commands in the GCode program.

Silly really, but keep on Boogie Boogie Boogie.
