  1. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    Hey Wompser from the past, it's Womper from the present. Ya big dingus, you let the backup battery die because you forgot to remind yourself about it... and now I've had to reload EVERYTHING again. ...
  2. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    Great! Hope it works for you. The nice thing about it is that this post processor will help you keep your file sizes down. That may not be an issue if you are doing only simple parts, but I'm using...

    Re: Help with a dead path pilot control

    Just to close the door on this one: it's fixed!

    It was a little anti-climatic in the end even, it just worked. I wound up re-installing PathPilot and running all the updates, just to be safe...

    Re: Help with a dead path pilot control

    RE-PC to the rescue!

    I was stressing about this, but it was super straightforward. I bought one of these motherboards, used: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H87MPLUS/ I think it took under...

    Re: Help with a dead path pilot control

    Yes, I spent a lot of time yesterday researching various motherboard and CPU combinations... It is surprisingly difficult to build a new low-spec machine. The driver issue is a real one too.

    Re: Help with a dead path pilot control

    That's not unreasonable. I'm really trying to make sure to minimize potential areas of failure. The last thing I need is to make parts that are out of spec as a result of something weird with the...

    Help with a dead path pilot control

    A few days ago my Path Pilot control failed to boot, it just did nothing when powered up. Thinking it might be the power supply, I bought a replacement, but the power supply was apparently not the...
  8. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    I'm still plugging along at this. I may be the last guy left on the planet running one of these machines, but just in case anyone else is reading this, attached is my most current Fusion 360 post...
  9. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    Update for anyone following along. After getting this working, I was able to use the lathe to make some pretty killer titanium fountain pens. (you can see them on OCTODYNE)

    But I moved shops,...

  11. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    that is actually quite cool, and would save me the hassle of digging out an ancient laptop with the PCIN software. I'll need to get the appropriate cables to make it work, but thanks for sharing. ...
  12. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    No, I really don't know anything about the noise protocols. I would think that if it works for the TEA1 and other files, it should work for all files. I guess that you could check your cable to...
  13. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    I'm afraid i really don't know enough about it to be of much help. looking at the two files, the obvious first difference is

    $$$
    !830D

    I'd delete those two lines.

    but I don't know why...
  14. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    Sorry, I don't understand.

    are you asking if I can post the %PCP file so you can use it on your own machine? I'm pretty sure that would not work, as the parameters are likely specific to the...
  15. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    Update for posterity: I have now figured out the collet clamping issue! From another forum pcasanova recommended:

    Re: EMCOTurn 340TC project

    Hello Allenj20, I'm wondering if you ever got clarity on how to enable the collet chuck. it sounds like the same problem I am having with a 810T control. (my lathe is a 320, but very similar) I...
  17. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    So… I think I have solved this problem. But first of all, let me say I couldn’t have done it with out the input from people on this board, and others. For the benefit of anyone else who comes...
  18. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    for reference here's a picture of the tool turret. You can see the original witness mark and the one that someone clearly made afterwards... why would someone need to do this?

  19. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    Could really use some help on this, I'm afraid I'm stuck, and don't know what else to try.

    So, I've replaced the contactor and 2 fuses that went out when it burned up, and I'm back where I was. ...
  20. Re: Emcoturn 320 with Spindle Orientation - Does anyone have one?

    I have an emcoturn 320 as well that I'm trying to get up and running. I do have all the original paper tapes and digital copies of tea1 tea2 and PCP files. if you still need them send me a note and...
  21. Re: EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    Updates: Someone has mucked about with this turret before!

    In the process of trying to clear the errors up, I took the turret cover off to better understand if I could reset it manually. There...
  22. EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe with Sinumerik 810T control--issues getting controls enabled

    So… this may turn into a lengthy thread. I’m looking for help with a few problems regarding getting an EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe (GA01, from the late 80s or early 90s) up and running with a Sinumerik...
  23. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    Update FIXED!!! well, partially anyway.

    So, there's a couple of things I figured out:

    1. My PC was the problem. After trying a couple of different computers, I was successful with a...
  24. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    Thanks for your offer to help! I'd imagine that our two machines are pretty comparable, at least the control should be. I'm not 100% sure of the year of my lathe. it did come with a TON of...
  25. Re: Problem sending data to a 810T/re-commissioning the PLC

    One other thing. When I run PCIN the status down at the bottom looks like this:

    hello everyone,

    I recently purchased a very nice older example of the popular Rong-Fu mill (mine's an enco). despite the inherent design comprimises of the mill, I'm pretty pleased with what...
