Quite a good work! Good pictures also.

You look a kind of guy that could use a lot of seals. If you ever need a machine for making seals...

or just the seals ...

Done with a fanuc, siemens or mach3 machine. We made a software that outputs compatible g code for all three controllers, and here is a video that shows a simple seal made in one of our cnc machine. You can use your own machine.

Promote and discuss your product / Make hydraulic/pneumatic seals in your shop

My company is about to release a complete package consisting on a machine/tools and software to produce hydraulic and pneumatic seals of any dimension up to 500mm, in several raw materials and profiles. A seal can be produced in a matter of minutes.
This system is under testes since February 2009 with good results and the product is ready to go on a commercial basis. The user does not need to be an expert in CNC machining or does not need to write the code. Our software does it all, just input the seal dimensions, and you are ready to go.

Currently we are able to provide the following:

1) Complete machine + tools + software + raw material (starting at 28000€)

OR

2) tools + software + raw material (you will need a cnc lathe) (starting at 4600€)

Basically we are on a survey to understand if there are clients that would prefer to use they currently system (cnc lathe) and adapt it to produce seals. This could be a very low price for starting producing seals in house without a large investment. Check a video at:

(currently, the descriptions are only in Portuguese, but profiles can be seen)

I would had painted pink if my wife would like the machine, but not even pink she would like to know anything about the machine, so it was red.

General Mach Discussion / Protect paint from moisture

« on: October 24, 2009, 03:09:00 AM »

Probably not the best place for this, but I suspect it have interest for many.

I am painting (90% done) a machine with standard synthetic paint, due to availability and price (probably I have started bad ...). This machine was indented to work primarily with compressed air to remove chips. But now I will use for sure water/oil moisture that will quickly ruin my paint job (and what a long job it was).

My question is what can I apply to protect the paint (new paint) from moisture? Varnish will due? any special material?

Thank you.

This is what I would do:
Do the relevant part of the code as one passage only. Try the passage. This will be your subprogram after you tested it.
Use incremental mode to lower the Z axis at each passage.
Call your sub program the number of times needed to accomplish all the depth that you want (Your program will only be calls to your subprogram)

That is all.

You can call a subprogram the number of times you want, and for the incremental of 0.01 I would say that a incremental move would be ok (G91 mode instead of G90).

Example:
...
G90 G00 X10
G91 G00 X0.01 (you will be at 10.01 not at 0.01)
...
