Is anyone running a warm up program for their spindle? In a production/industrial setting, I always have used one so curious if anyone is doing so for their 1F spindle upgrades.

I am using a Masso controller, but wrote simple routines to warm/oil up my CNC linear motion components, and also one to warm up my spindle. You can modify the gcode as needed… CNC warm up routine FINAL - no spindle - G code NC file.NC (588 Bytes) Here is a short YT video I made showing it workin…

Is there too cold of a temp for a spindle? Before I made my chiller my HY would get warm to the touch (just a 3 gallon bucket of water and .2 gpm flow) after a half hour or so. Now I bumped the flow up to .35 gpm and if I turn the fan on low the spindle doesn’t even slightly change temp. In the w…

Hey Alex, in the manual of my spindle , the manufacturer only writes about a maximum temperature (during operation), not a minimum. Coolant has to be kept under 30 °C (86 °F) at the output of the spindle and the spindle shall be stopped and alarm at 40 °C (104 °F). Regarding storage of the (non-ope…

[image] CommunityUser5: G4 P60 When I got my Shopbot (Desktop) several years ago, they recommended a 10 minute spindle warm-up routine. So I did a 6000, 8,0000, 10,000, 15,000, 24,000 spin up to get it warmed up and settled in. Two minutes at each speed increment. The slow ramping from min to…

Thank you for the quick response, now how do I make this work? Can I make the cnc automatically do this when i turn on the machine? Can I assign the warm up to a button on the masso? Please forgive me in advance, my computer skills are lacking aside from checking emails and joining this forum so …

Hey Dan, you can click the download link ( spindle_warmup.ngc ) in my above post, save the file on your computer, put the file on a USB stick and upload it to the CNC controller. On the buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller of the Original and PRO Series, you can also have a SMB share somewhere in…

Once the latest version of the BB firmware is stable it’ll have macros that you can run. You could easily assign the program as one of the macros so it’ll be almost no effort to run it.

Both you all, (Aiph5u & Dr-Al), are awesome just some more questions for an illiterate computer guy and somewhat newbie to the CNC world. How do I set up macros in the MASSO G3 You both mentioned it but how do I make a button or have the MASSO ask me to warm up the spindle? Does anyone else have …

Hey Dan, Maybe someone who has a Masso G3 (I don’t) should do that. But I can help you by suggesting you should simply follow the links to Masso Documentation I provided. a. The pushbutton version is a little more complicated as you will have to deal with cables and screw terminals: The Masso allo…

Hi, The parameter to G4 is in seconds or milliseconds? G4 P60 Is that a 60ms delay? Masso Doc has this: P Value - The P value is required with G04 and it defines the time to dwell/pause. This value is in milliseconds.

I just posted the warm up program I created for my spindle.
I posted it to another thread a moment ago to help others find it easily in the future.
