Sorry to restart this old thread but I thought I had better reply since its been so long! The manuals I had were incomplete and also for the wrong original machine I was talking about and therefore...

That makes sense. i must find out if that was the cause. I'm only assuming that the short was what killed it but then again its probably more likely that what you said is what actually happened. Ill...

problem solved! used the grid shift parameter 84 to move the zero return point. To recap... when the machine was moved to the new owners shop the z axis servo was removed so the chains would clear at...

THANKS!!! exactly what i was looking for. I'll try to get it a bit closer by indexing the motor coupling on the screw... its easy to get at and should do the same thing as turning the encoder? the...

Problem solved!! power supply transformer that feeds the board on the spindle drive was on its way out... heating up must have created a short to ground tripping the breaker... the electrician sent...

great info. ive just got a matsuura with the same control fixed up for a bloke. i havn't ran a 6 series for a while and had forgotten half of that! Another question... the atc on the machine wont...

That's pretty much what I was thinking! I'll get the elec to disconnect the easy stuff like spindle cooler, and hydraulic pump first and work my way through it with him. Is there anything i should be...

I've been helping some guys out recently who purchased 3 Matsuura VMCs. The older two have Fanuc 3000c controllers fitted with after market drip feed boards and ancient desktop computers for both....

Righto... got the controller the other day and it looks the goods! if it does what its supposed to i'll be happy but we'll have to wait and see. Seems that I have to put another transformer in front...

I do have paypal but first... Are you in a desperate hurry to get a copy of this book? Otherwise it might pay to wait another week or two and see if anyone else has a digital copy on here. I've found...

Right looks like we have a winner here! elec. manual is for a 1985 HITEC TURN 20
Fanuc 10T-F control. I might have to get a copy done by a photocopying store because the thing is huge! i reckon it...

Blue and white? H20 S-II? i've got the manual to a H20 green '82 model i think don't know if its any good to you because its for a fanuc 10t control as far as i know. Let me know if it suits and if...

What year machine? I think i got a elec. manual with my other manuals. No good to me as i own a different model.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone. I think that running the controller from the converter is going to be the easiest way to do it, may be more trouble than its worth to isolate the controller...

SO....
The business I used to work for went broke and I bought one of their old machines.
I've moved the new machine (HITACHI SEIKI H20SII) into my shed at home and I've got to build a phase...

I ran one of these for a few years and found it to be very easy to setup and program.
I own a newer model H20SII and to be honest i'd nearly have your machine over mine although they are getting a...

Just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas... I bought a machine (94 model Hitachi lx3 controller) from the engineering shop i used to work when they went broke and closed down. I've got a bit...

how did you end up with that machine? get the problem sorted?

i've got the manuals to a 94 model hitachi 20sII might be of some help if you can tell me where to look... i think i've read something like that before somewhere in one of the bools i have. Also my...

I'm in the western district in Victoria. Just found some plans for a large electronically regulated diy rotary phase converter might look into that one a bit. thanks for the help regarding the...

Good point with the servicing/repairs hadn't thought of that. I wouldn't really be using it much, prob. an hour or two a week. I was thinking that it would be handy to have a larger 3 phase genset...

very interesting thread... I have a 94 Hitachi Seiki lathe i bought at auction from the place i used to work at before they went broke. Having thought about getting three phase connected it turns out...

Anyone got a spindle tach generator for a mazak quick turn 20? mazak part number is AG17 11C-II
Ours let go the other week and mazak want an absolute fortune for a new one (about 3/4 of the...

Thanks for the help. Contacted the okuma guys again and this time they're trying to chase it up for me. i'll post the correct colour when i get a reply back from them (in about 2 months i'm...

Just wondering if anyone knows the correct paint color for our m/c; 1994 model mx-55va v.m.c.; mostly a creamy white color with blue high lights.
had the gaurds off today to see if the lead screw...
