Hello all,
So, I have a gweike co2 laser that has been doing weird stuff lately and finally became unusable. It was getting weaker and weaker last fall, so I assumed that the tube was starting to...

I'm interested in this topic as I have been wanting to do this for quite a while... there is a flag to change in the parameters as well, to switch from one screen to two... do you know the...

Well I, for one, am excited about purchasing from you in the future! Very impressed with everything about those vises, and I wish you nothing but the best. I know where I am going for vises from...

It is the same where the switches are in the middle, but unllike it' ssupposed to, when it hits the limit switch, it doesn't stop, and back off a little. It coasts to a stop, about .650 past where...

New development...

I swapped the power wires, and the tach wires, and now the X works, but if it gets to the limit switch, it freezes the axis, and won't move it anymore. if you manually back it...

the backstory:
firstly, thisis a '91 hurco 40slv, with ultimax 2 controls.

this machine has been giving me a servo amp error upon startup for probably a couple months, off and on. it will also...

Okay, I decided to move this to the forums, as to quit spamming the heck out of Bloke's PM-box (sorry!) and also so someone can be helped if they have the same problem.

I have a problem where when...

So, I'm starting the long process of tracing wires back to the control box of my lathe, when I find a bunch of extra wires on the z. In addition to the two limit switches I have on both ends of the...

Do you have the instruction manual? if so, towards the end there is a description of what the pinout is. I made my own cable, looking up the pinout of the hurco, and the pinout of a serial port...

Hello everyone!

I'm hunting for a dual axis card for a 4th axis on a ultimax 2 machine. The specific machine is a bmc40slv...

I originally had just thought I might add an indexing table, and...

It only did it three times this evening, I let it sit for a bit, then it worked for the rest of the run... It never was running as slow as 500, this is all 6061 stuff with .250 and .125 cutters,...

The display has -OU on it, and the INP, IPF and LG led's are on, the rest are off... When it's mad, it says -OU right away, it doean't follow the spindle down.

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I'm having some trouble getting spindle drive faults on my 91 bmc40slv. It will run fine for 10-15 minutes, then when ending a cut, it won't slow down, the tach will go to zero,...

Bloke.

I love you.

It was U2 on the RS 232 card.

Running parts today.

I would give you a big terible sloppy boy hug if you were not 2000 miles away...

Bloke,

By little rs232 board, which do you mean? there are two little boards attached to the cpu board, the 'graphics board' with the NEC chip on it, and the other little one. Also, (though...

Does anyone know the pinout on those power supplies... I can't find my wiring diagram book... it's the one with 11 screw type terminals on the bottom... My god, I hope it's the power supply!
...

A week ago I had a problem with a Lathe I was retrofiting. I fired the computer up on this lathe and the power supply (for the computer running EMC) threw sparks, loud pop, the whole shebang. ...

My god! I guess Nebraska is the best place ever... When I went through this Lincoln Electric System quoted me $6000-$8000, and they had to pull the three phase three blocks! On the other hand,...

Okay, it took forever to get around to it, but I checked the brushes, they look good... But. the wiring in the box looks a bit funny. It's hard to get to, being under the servo so I went to pull...

Just finishing up a run now, and can't imagine tearing things apart yet tonight, but I'll check those brushes in the morning! Are they hard to remove? I never thought of that! the drives never do...

I'm having a problem where sometimes I'll get a motion error on x. this seems to happen when starting a program, though today I got it just starting the machine and going into manual. Also today I...

Yeah, it's probably closer to a couple a week, and if i took a while, i could probably hunt down a few more, I guess i'm just the kind of guy who likes to have a bunch of his favorite things laying...

I really don't know! I'm working between two shops, and one of them has quite a few guys in it, so I don't know if i'm misplacing them, or people are 'borrowing' them, but I do know that I bought 24...

I'm looking for a cheap deal on those 6" stainless pocket rules. I don't know if it's just me, but i seem to go through one of these guys a day... I don't even care if I have to buy a few gross, I...

I luckily do have a full set of documentation for the machines, but it is written in 1978 chinese english. I'm also wondering if the guys at mesa might be any help. Anyway, I will keep all of this...

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about this application still, I'm getting back to it, and never really found an answer for a couple things... the spindle is the part i'm most concerned...

Bloke,

I am firstly posting to express my admiration and appreciation of your understanding of these hurcos, and secondly, to make it easier for me to find this thread, when I need this...

The part i'm doing is vaugely complex, and I'm looking for a surface that I can send almost directly out to be e-nickel carbide coated. Bobcad might do it, I had felt in my early experience with it,...

I've heard that fanuc posts are pretty close, so I currently am playing with a fanuc 5 post... again, if anyone has an idea what might start closer, please let me know, and thanks for all the...

I'm assuming that that is what I'm going to end up doing, I was mainly hoping for a workaround for the time being, to get the machine running quicker, while I learn how to work on posts (I'm inside...
