Does any one remember the parameter to control the safety interlock
from the proximity switches on the power drawbar on an Interact 4 with
a Heidenhain 2500 control? Dan

After the machine has powered up-
press the MOD key and cursor up to "user parameters"
Press enter-
cursor up to "XYZ=0 XYZB=8"
Press "0" to turn off the forth axis
Press enter
Press "end...

I was having trouble with a TNC 151 on an Interact I mark II. I talked to Rick at Heidenhain in Chicago and he said sometines just pulling the boards from their slots and then replacing will fix the...

Thanks Andrew,

After a little bit of scratching around the Heidenhain website I found what we needed. For others who need it and to save the scratching around I will post the link:

Sorry, I may have lead you astray without knowing for sure about the ATC. I have a Interact 720 Heidenhain 351 that has a 20 tool ATC but programs some different than the manual tool change machine....

Checked the resistance thru the tach on a motor we have on the shelf (from the cannibal machine) and measured 50 to 60 ohms. Heat wave today, warmed up to 27 degrees. Went to the far shop and...

Dan here again,

I just noticed that the M 03 was missing after each stop for tool change. The first motion line after each tool change would need an M 03 to start the spindle or you would get...

To get Perfect Circle's code to work it may take some minor "massageing". The feed rate that will be shown on the screen has the last digit to the right of the decimal point. To get a feed rate of...

Would you happen to know which parameter would change the direction of movememt? That seems to be what is happening. The other two Interacts 4's we have both have TNC 2500's and the parameter set...

We do not have the original documentation for this machine. I found on a "borrowed" schematic that the tacho for the X axis should go to inputs 4 and 6 on DC1 ( wires 40 and 41)and input 5 (wire 42)...

Working on a Bridgeport Interact 4 with a Heidenhain 155 control that will not home on the X axis. It will travel in the X+ direction as expected, but when the reference dog switch is reached it...

The air pressure supplied should be at least 8o psi. Try using an M25 to retract the spindle to the proper tool change position. Check that the software limits and hard stop are set correctly. Your...

On my heidenhains (151's and 2500's) the number in the upper right corner when in electronic handwheel mode can be keyboard input from 2 thru 9. They will not accept a number 1 keyboard entry. 2 is...

I had trouble with my Interact 1 Mk2 Heidenhain 151 doing the same thing, except it was on the X axis. I found the reference dog switch was not functioning. Changed out the reference switch and cured...

We believe that the Z-Axis position encoder on our Interact 720 is defective. (Z-Axis measuring system defective A) This encoder is at the bottom of the Z-Axis screw.

We're trying to remove the...

In answer to stepper monkey, Wrong! The pressures in a small bore can be just as great as in a big bore. Check out hatchergun.com under black powder cannons.

The part number on my Bridgeport 720 Maintenance Manual shows 1800092.

Try changing parameter 7280 from a zero to a one.

I have an Interact 4 that I am getting a spindle drive fault. For a time I could reset the controller (Heidenhain 2500) and get the machine to restart. Then I began to have to push the reset on the...

I have a 720 with a heidenhain control. What kind of manual do you need?

Do you have any mailing address?

I have a Bmdc in an easy path lathe and get the same GP fault at random intervals. I found that by making any keyboard entry every few minutes will keep the faults ( gremlins ) away. I suspect the...

I had my manual copied and was going to send it to you for credit on the purchase of you extra KTk spindle drive and electronics from the machine. But you pushed up the time table and I was not able...

I'll send parameters , but you will need to adjust the stops (limits) to fit your own machine. under the "mod key", cursor to code number and enter 95148 and then you can view or edit the existing...

Thanks George, Any info you have on the KTK spindle drive would be greatly appreciated. I checked the Mentor web site and found too much information . Do happen to know what drive they have would...

I have two of these machines of which one runs and the other does not. The one that doesn't run was purchased on Ebay and the seller said it ran. He lied! The Heidenhain 2500 gives me a spindle drive...

I'll try changing it on the machine. I really appreciate the help. Thanks

I'm going back to wood to heat my shop. Can't afford natural gas.

I have the NC: software number 243000 12 . The PLC: software number 250144 10 .I have a list of all the parameters and their values, but I would like also to find a synopsis of what each...

I have a Bridgeport Series II Interact 4 with a Heidenhain TNC 2500 controller. I just get bugged by the use of the European use of the comma as a divider for the difference between the intergers and...
