CNC lathing
Hi, I am new to the forum and was wondering if there are any CNC operators out there that have worked on the (Fanuc) CNC wood lathing machinery? The one in our shop is not holding down the plywood properly and I was wondering if the vacuum/pump was the reason or perhaps there is something else? I am told that we have a 9 hp on it now but the sales guy from the company says maybe it needs a 25 hp to make a better suction difference. The catch is that a 25 hp pump is costly and I felt the sales company should have provided it since they were told in advance what our company would be using it for. ANyhow.. I don't know much about the machine yet as I am training on it starting next week. I just thought I might get an opinion or two so I could help my boss out before he makes any costly adjustments. Also, if anyone has any used instruction videos, on this machines functions and maintenence, I would love to hear from you since here in Quebec there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go to train for operations (in English) that I can find.
