HI,
It took a while as I couldnt remember my login info. (I havent logged in in iver 10 Years)
The HL-8 was obsolete before PDF was invented. I dont think anyone scanned the manuals afterwards....

Hi,
It looks like you hit on the problem. Any vibration of the machine will show up in the cut edge.
A good 'Vibration Sensor' is to attach a long (12 inch or longer) ty-wrap to the top of the...

Hi,
I have worked on the Esprit machines that have been installed in the US.
They are very well built industrial quality machines, and they use the Hypertherm Edge Pro CNC Controls.
I would not...

Do you have any more information on the machine?
Manufacturer and model number, or more pictures.
Most of these machines need a CNC to operate.
Your picture shown the Lynx still attached.
Cant...

Hi,
No I do not.
It sold about a month later.
Good Luck,

Sorry about that.
My answer was tainted by my experience with Farley equiped systems in the US.
We could not get parts or help from ANCA, and just replaced them.
There were not too many ANCA's in...

The answer is somewhere in the middle.
Not knowing what type and version of software, the model of the Koike machine, or condition of it, it is hard to put a price on it.
Was the machine made in...

Hi,
ANCA CNC are made in Australia and are hard to run and keep running.
Most of the companies that used them (Farley for one) switched to other brands.
Contact Joey or Jason at NCtech.
They are...

If the motors still work, and the pinion is worn, then replace the pinion.
Martin Gear, Browning, Boston Gear, and others have lots of stock gears.

Identify your pitch and replace it.

My memory is fuzzy on the Sys 80 front panel.
I think there is a '*' key on thew front panel that you press.

Can you take a picture of the front panel and send it to me?...

Hi All,
The MG System 80 and Burny 3 CNC's are the same critter.
MG had Burny change the front panel to make it look a bit different.

That said, Burny made 3-4 different internal variations on...

Both hoses have electrical leads in them .
The Pilot Arc Lead is the shorter, smaller lead on the torch and the Electrode (Negitive) is the larger Lead.
Measure between these two leads and you...

You nered to check from the electrode (Negitive Lead) to the Pilot Arc Lead.
It shooud read Open.
If it does not (less than 1 meg) then
I think you may have a stuck Pilot Arc Relay (1CR)
If that...

Clean & Dry air is very imporntant.
I am not an Air expert, but any moisture in the air can reduce the electrode life. Oil in the air will rapidly kill an electrode.
I have never heard that water...

Hi,
Is your Loncln a hand torch? Or are you using a hand cutting nozzle?
I do not know much about Lincoln, but the Hypertherm hand plasma nozzles have a flat notch cutout across the face of the...

Just jumping in at the end of this post.

The slight noise in the lifter motor is normal.
It is a stepper motor and they will make noise when still.
There are no brushes, so it does no harm to...

The MAx 200 has a terminal strip inside for the Star wires and the OK to Move (Machine Motion or Arc ON are other terms for it)
The treminals you point out is plasma start for Hand Toch Leads.
...

That is a good reason.
I will se what I can find out.
It shouldnt be that hard to find that image omn the C or D drive.
Burny likes to keep all the CNC stuff on the D Drive.

We are taking one...

Ok so this will not be easy.
It has been about 7-8 years since I worked on one of these.
The old gray matter aint so good any more.
I have to consult a C&G Guru and Ill get back to you ASAP

Depending on how old your B10 is, the software was not that stable in the older models.
I would not mess with it.
If something happens to your software your only option is to buy a new hard drive...

Correct... The motors will not turn until the drive is in Sync.
But the possibility exists for the machine to jump when it does sync up.
This is a safer method and also keeps your fingers attached...

This thread should be in the main group and not Hypertherm.
The Mustang with a B5 CNC used a drive system that was made by C&G.
They mounted the resolvers in the gear rack a few inches ehind the...

I think you will find it to be a possible cracked torch or another return path through the Pilot Arc lead in the torch lead package.
The reason I suspect it is you say you see a Green arc.
Green is...

I would look at the Pilot Arc Relay.
I dont remember the CR number but it is in the left side.
I would bet the contacts are welded shut.
The Green you see in the arc is burning copper.
Not good...

The Edge/Pilot has a .dxf converter built in.
You have to set all the tool paths, lead ins and lead outs, an make sure there are no open segments.
You can go from AutoCad to CNC in one step.
Time...

Sounds like you have an MG Metalmaster with a Pilot CNC Control.
The Pilot was made for MG by Centricut Automation (now Hypertherm Automation).
They had a Burny compatable backpanel.
As for...

I have been selling and servicing Burny Systems for the past 20 years and have never seen a circuit diagram fopr the main PC boards.
They keep them to themselves.
Most likely if the Capacator is...

I have no clue about NT properties.

You could connect the serial port of the B10 to a PC and download that way.
Make sure you use isolated short haul modems if you are using a plasma that has HF...

Hi,
Im not sure about TD products, but with Hypertherm, (and I assume this is true with other brands), the diffrence is:

Drag Tips have 2 small groves in the face. This is for hand cuttng.
If...

If the Burny 10 still works, why fix it?
It is designed to whittle a doughnut out of a plate of steel, not surf the web or play SIM.
Buy a cheap XP computer and set it next to the B10.
