1500MX Mist Collector Installation Tormach Inc. 2024-10-10 | The 1500MX Mist Collector is the best 1500MX upgrades to your mill if you plan on using a minimum quantity lubrication system. The fine mist can fog up your enclosure quickly, blocking the view of your parts during cutting. The mist is returned back into the enclosure. Please download and review the 1500MX Operator's Manual before starting the Mist Collector installation. tormach.com/support/mill/1500mx-documentsThe installation of the mist collector is relatively straight forward but you have to keep in mind the extra height of the lifting tools needed, and of the lid height for filter replacement. If you can't lift the mist collector over your enclosure, or you don't have the extra ceiling height for the lid, then you can install the mist collector onto the floor.

Tormach ZA6 | Setting Up the Keyence Safety Scanner Tormach Inc. 2024-01-23 | We have added an extra safety product to the ZA6 robot other than the light safety curtains carried on the Tormach website. The Keyence device is a laser safety scanner that sits in the corner and observes a plane of 270 degrees in either direction at the corner. If an object, or person, enters into the area of detection, there are several levels of safety. At the furthest point, the Keyence can be programmed to slow down the robot, and if that person or object broke through the second level then it would completely stop the robot. If you are in a business, school or teaching environment then you know that it is important to protect students from the robot. Setup is key to make sure any potential injuries are avoided. We run through how setting up the Keyence Safety Scanner in this video. Tormach ZA6 | Setting Up the Keyence Safety ScannerInterested in a Tormach machine?

ZA6 QuickTips | Mill To Robot Setup and Configuration Tormach Inc. 2024-01-18 | Robot automation is the next step to improve efficiencies with machining. Setting up the ZA6 Robot next to the Tormach Mill is relatively straight forward, but there are some items to consider to do it properly to prevent collisions. After the robot has been setup next to the mill you will then need to get them to talk to each other with some simple network configurations. You can connect through a local area network, or by using an inexpensive network switch. Tormach also offers a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter if you need that: tormach.com/usb-3-0-to-gigabit-ethernet-network-adapter-39133.htmlOnce the ZA6 is setup physically and with a network, then you have to move onto PathPilot and add the mill onto the Discovered Machines section of the setup page.

PathPilot 2.10.0 Overview - A Ton of New, Exciting Features Tormach Inc. 2023-12-12 | The PathPilot team has been hard at work creating a ton of new updates to the GUI that will change the way you look at the information on screen, literally. The most obvious is the orientation of the interface. Now you can choose to have PathPilot monitors in either portrait or landscape mode. In portrait the screen gains a larger area for the tool paths and extra space in the persistent controls. Since the Operator Console is fixed, those changes don't apply there, but all the other changes are available. Now we have added the Block Delete button that many of you have been asking for, as well as the extra mist button, and the expanded vertical keyboard. Another unexpected upgrade is the camera system. Now you'll be able to add up to four cameras depending on your system configuration. We're sure these changes will be welcome to all our users. And as always, there are no charges for these extra features, unlike other companies. We hope you enjoy them. If you want to add the functionality of the mist button, you will have to follow the procedure in the document link below. There are links to some items you can purchase from Digikey to accomplish this.tormach.com/media/asset/s/b/sb10828_mist_power_outlet_m-mx_1223a.pdfHere is the PathPilot Update page is you want the latest version:tormach.com/support/software/pathpilot/pathpilot-updates-and-notesInterested in a Tormach machine?

Tormach Garage Series, Part 3 | Learning the PathPilot Interface Tormach Inc. 2023-12-06 | Interested in a Tormach machine? Schedule a call with one of our team members at hubs.ly/Q029gf-H0 and they will be happy to answer any questions you have.PathPilot is arguably considered one of the easiest, powerful, and full featured CNC control interfaces in the industry. Once glancing at the interface, most everyone can start using it right away, but it's good to know the basic layout of the GUI. Jeremiah walks through each section, what it's used for and explains it's importance. The controls along the bottom are mostly consistent as you use PathPilot, therefore they are call the Persistent Controls. This area consists of: Program Controls (Cycle Start, Feeds and Speeds Sliders), Position Details (X, Y, Z, A Coordinates, Distance to Go, G-Code Status), Manual Control Group (Spindle Control, Jogging and Step Control, Step Control). The top half of the screen is called the Notebook with multiple tabs to jump into the various sections on the mill: Main, File, Settings, Offsets, Conversational, ATC, Probe/ETS and Status. The Main group needs to be open when running a program.

Tormach Webinar: Machine Tending With The ZA6 Industrial Robot Tormach Inc. 2023-11-27 | Tormach CEO Daniel Rogge, recently conducted a ZA6 webinar in November 2023, where he goes over the current capabilities of using a Tormach ZA6 for machine tending. There are many advantages, such as the relative simplicity of the PathPilot system combined with the use of ROS and Python programming. He also wants to lay down the challenges of using the ZA6 with the 1100MX as as this mill isn't designed for large production runs. Still, there are some complexities to machine tending that a new user needs to be aware of. Dan goes over these to make sure beginners know what they are getting into. The combination of the Tormach mill and ZA6 robot arm works great as long as a large quantity of chips aren't produced in the process of cutting your parts, and the new user gets over the learning curve of a robot arm.

Schedule a call with one of our team members at hubs.ly/Q029gf-H0 and they will be happy to answer any questions you have.This is a replay of the ZA6 Machine Tending webinar from November 16th, 2023.

Tormach Garage Series, Part 8 | Cutting First Part Tormach Inc. 2023-11-14 | In the last of our garage series videos, Jeremiah Daws walks you through the last steps to cutting your first part. In the previous videos he explained all the steps to get here. In part 8 he starts by going through the conversational screens to setup your parts. You will need to pause this video to get the correct information onto each of your profile, pocket and drill/tap pages. Since this is your first part, he explains how to use the max velocity, and the feeds & speeds sliders. If you set the velocity and feed slider to zero, then start the program, the machine won't move. You can then raise the sliders to slowly start the program. This way you can check the progress on your first cut. You can press the Feed Hold button to pause the progress. Once you are sure everything looks great you can raise the sliders to 100%. After your program has finished cutting the part, use a micrometer to check the measurements. If they look good the part can be removed. You can use a CAM program instead of conversational to create the same part and then load it onto PathPilot.

The Advantages of Section 179 + End of Year 90 Days - No Payments Tormach Inc. 2023-11-02 | If you run a small business - or want to start running a small business - taxes are always an important challenge to consider. You have to know where you can take tax breaks and where they don’t fit your organization.What many small CNC business owners don’t realize is the value of Section 179, and that Tormach machines, even though they are inexpensive, qualify as capital equipment.SECTION 179 EXPLAINEDBefore Section 179 came into effect, businesses had to write off equipment purchases through depreciation. That meant that if you spent $30,000 on a machine this year, you would write off how much that machine depreciated each year following.With Section 179, businesses can write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment for the current tax year, so long as that machine is delivered and installed on or before December 31, 2023.Essentially, this is like giving you money back for buying a machine!THE RULES OF SECTION 179Like any legal or tax related topic, consult a professional before assuming any of this applies to you and your business. That being said, Section 179 says that any equipment bought and put into service before the end of the year (up to $1,050,000.00), can be written off on your 2023 taxes.Here are the key rules of the deduction:1. Your machine must be delivered and put into service by December 31, 20232. Your business needs to have a minimum level of pre-tax income. 3. You can’t write off more than $1,160,000.00Here’s the breakdown of what the numbers would look like:FINANCED MACHINES STILL QUALIFYTormach partner, Geneva Capital, just added new financing opportunities like $0 down or no payments for 90 days financing for businesses that are purchasing machines. That means you can buy the Tormach machine that you need to add capabilities to your business, and get the tax deduction for the full cost of your equipment purchases, dollar for dollar against your income, as long as it is put into service this year.You can start making chips and making money, while also saving on taxes, before spending a dime of capital on the machine!Keep in mind that your machine needs to be making parts before the end of the year to qualify for Section 179, so current supply chain challenges need to be taken into consideration. Start building your no-obligation quote today!*These general numbers are based on Section 179 documentation, and can not be used as a quote.

Tormach Garage Series, Part 6 | How to Choose Coolant Tormach Inc. 2023-10-24 | Before cutting your parts, you have to decide on how to remove chips from the surface to prevent the chips from being pulled back into the cutter and recut, which will cause poor surface finish. Tormach offers several options: Flood Coolant or MQL, which stands for minimum quantity lubrication. Flood coolant is the traditional method of removing chips away from the cutting area with a literal flood of coolant. This is done through the use of powerful pumps that expel coolant out of a nozzle directed at the cutter. The coolant used is a mixture of purified water from an RO system or distilled water, and a coolant additive that helps lubricate the water, making the cutters job easier and will help prevent rust in your machine. Dealing with these large quantities of liquid based coolant will necessitate a water-tight enclosure and coolant holding tanks under the mill. Over time coolants can stagnate causing health issues, so it's important to remove the surface bacteria with a skimmer kit. Tormach offers one with the Tormach Skimmer Kit: tormach.com/oil-skimmer-kit-1100m-770m-39298.html To verify the quality of the coolant in your tanks, a refractometer can be used to check on the concentration of coolant, as water can be lost to evaporation. Flood coolant is a powerful option to forcefully remove the chips, but that force can cause a mess. If you'd rather not deal with all that coolant, then an MQL system might be a great match. This system reduces the amount of coolant to the bare minimum, some even call it near-dry lubrication. The MQL nozzles spray a fine mist of coolant, combined with air to force the chips away from the cutter. Tormach Garage Series, Part 6 - How to Choose CoolantInterested in a Tormach machine?

Tormach Garage Series, Part 5 | Basics of Cutting Tools and Toolholders Tormach Inc. 2023-10-18 | Choosing the proper tool holding and cutting tools is fundamental to getting the best surface finish on your parts. Tormach mills offer two types of tool holders, depending to the machine being used. Tormach's M series mills use the Tormach Tooling System, or TTS for short. If you've used a Bridgeport style manual mill these tool holders will be very familiar. The MX series of mills use the industry standard BT30 tool holders. This tapered toolholder is very rigid and secured with a pull stud, or retention knob. Both the TTS and BT30 toolholders have multiple different tool holding styles such as, solid, end mills, ER tool holders, drill chucks, shell mills and face mills. There are more, but these are the basics. Cutting tools are inserted into the tool holders, and there are even more varieties. The basics are end mills, ball end mills, drill bits, threading tools, taps, thread mills, and then face mills, which has multiple replaceable cutting inserts. Jeremiah explains the basics of securing the cutting tools into the tool holders. Once these are secure, then the tool height needs to be determined with either height gauges or and analog or electronic tool setter. He then covers the proper way to load your tool into the spindle and entering the height into PathPilot so that it knows the proper cutting distance.

PathPilot Quick Tips - Setting Start Line in the Middle of Program Tormach Inc. 2023-10-12 | Stuff happens, and you have to quit out of the middle of a cutting program. The wrong tool could be in the spindle and you caught it in time, the tool broke, whatever. Davie runs through the three different methods in PathPilot to start up where you left off. The options PathPilot gives you are: restore with Z-plunge lead in, Restore with linear lead in and then no preparation. He set up three different machines to discuss each scenario: the 770MX, PCNC 440 and the 1100MX. Also, during the first tip, he runs through some basic PathPilot tips that some may not know about, that will make using the Tormach controller more intuitive.

Tormach Garage Series, Part 4 | Workholding and Setting Up Work Offsets Tormach Inc. 2023-10-03 | Part 4 of the Tormach Garage Series dives into the important tools needed for proper workholding and setting up work offsets on your mill. That is done through the use of a vise, or in some cases multiple vises. A vise is similar to a vise you can find on your dad's workbench. Instead of being permanently bolted in place, it is secured to the table of the mill with bolts, and it has to be aligned to the spindle head. And because your vise will have to secure a wide variety of materials, of varying thicknesses and dimensions, there are many jaw configurations to attach to the vise such as: hard jaws, soft jaws, pin jaws, v-block jaws, talon grip jaws, and versa-grip jaws. Before securing the vise, you have to make sure there are no burrs or chips on the underside. A machinist stone is used to clean off the bottom of the vise and to maintain the surface of the mills table. The vise can then be secured to the table, but it need to be trammed. Tramming a vise ensures that the back jaw of the vise is perfectly square with the spindle head. An indicator, secured to a mag base and attached to the spindle is used to make sure that the rear jaw is perfectly parallel. If you have a thin piece of material, a surprisingly effective workholding technique involves paper tape and super glue. Heat resistant tape can be used in place of paper tape is you are using coolant. Fixture plates, like the ones sold by Saunders Machine Works, are convenient because of their versatility and allow for more Z travels with their low-profile workholding. tormach.com/smw-1100-tool-plate-bundle.htmlTormach Garage Series, Part 4 | Workholding and Setting Up Work OffsetsInterested in a Tormach machine?

PathPilot Quick Tip | G Code Path Simulation Tormach Inc. 2023-09-28 | PathPilot has some tricks up its sleeves. Simplifying your life is always at the top of the list with the control developers. One of the ways PathPilot helps is by letting the user view the programs cutting tool paths. If you open the View Options tab next to the g-code window, then you have control of which tool paths are displayed. You can view them all, or select individual tool paths. If you aren't sure how a program is going to perform, you can simply set your z- height several inches above the workpiece and observe the g-code simulation in the window. Once you are assured the program is running right, then you can begin to cut. This can be reassuring if you have expensive materials or tooling. This feature is pretty unique in the CNC control world, and only a handful of CNC manufacturers offer this level of detail. Interested in a Tormach machine?
