Thanks for the reply underthetire. I left the machine on last night for fear of not being able to restart it and today I got a newish battery (CR17450SE-R) and made the replacement on the control...
Hi,
I have had my machine in storage for almost a year and when i powered it up today i got the following msg "battery low fanuc side (replace battery with power on)". I get a flashing *BAT* msg as...
My machine came with 4 extra relays - M codes 81-84. I also found that there were another 4 outputs for relays that were unused when i was looking through the ladder logic - M codes 71,73,75,77...
I took a look through the ladder logic on my machine today and i can't find the SKIP signal (X4.7) anywhere. I would have thought that all SV-2412's would have shipped with the ladder programmed for...
There should be two adjustment controls in the oiler electronics box (on the top of the oiler). One specifies the duration or time between oiler intervals and the other would specify how long the...
I'm having some issues trying to get a renishaw touch probe interfaced to my SV-2412.
According to the wiring diagram that came with the machine, the skip signal X4.7 should be wired to the XC1...
Check your circuit breakers KM3 and KM4. If they are ok, next check the status of your outputs Y5.4 and Y5.5 in the diagnostic screen when you command the magazine to move in either direction. Could...
So i think that i have this mostly figured out. For reference, the tool breakage sensor is a static sensor, mounted in the double arm, random type tool magazine - so it can only check one tool (see...
We purchased a used VMC with a Fanuc Oi-mc controller - unfortunately it came with limited documentation. This machine has a toolbreakage sensor which i can see in the ladder (symbol = LASER) but am...
Hi All,
I'm trying to find out who the manufacturer is and what the exact part number is for the tool changer motor on my SV2412. The machine has the 16 tool option - and a previous owner removed...
Wow... well i guess that's one way to rebuild a spindle but i definitely wouldn't recommend it. How did you preload your a/c bearings?
If you read through the bearing design manuals oil mist is...
Hey Dom,
As far as i can tell the brake is only for slowing/stopping the spindle. I have removed it for my retrofit as i replaced my DC motor with an 7.5 hp Marathon Electric AC motor and VFD. The...
Hey Gotis,
So i took the plunge and decided to pull the spindle apart this weekend. All in all, the disassembly went a lot better than i thought that it would. I was really nervous about this as i...

I have a significant amount of backlash (1-2 thou) on the x-axis of my bridgeport cnc mill. I have placed a dial indicator on the end of the ballscrew to verify that the lost motion is not coming...
For the past several months i have been in the process of retrofitting a bridgeport series 2 interact 4 cnc mill. The mill was made in 1989 and has sat for more than 8 years now as the control system...
Jurek,
The part number of my drives are Z15-1-240V (very similar, but am not sure what difference the 1 vs 1A makes?). The number below the part number is 035883-113
bk1955,
I have uploaded...
The machine was built in 1989. It has a heidenhain TNC 2500 control.
Hi all,
I am in the middle of a CNC retrofit on my Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 4 mill. I will be selling all of the control components from the mill, including the servo motors, all drive...
Hi Geof,
Thanks for the reply. What would you recommend for concentration?
Do you have any other brands that you would recommend trying?
Hi all,
I was hoping for some advice regarding some coolant issues i've been having.
I have been using Shell Dromus B (http://www.shellusserver.com/products/pdf/DromusB.pdf) coolant for my...
Hi Bruce,
I had a couple questions that i was hoping you could answer.
Does the CNC brain have any provisions for monitoring axis loads (current draw) or spindle loads? This is a nice feature to...

I have tried the string trick with no capacitors at all hooked up. I even went so far as hooking up a second motor to my idler motor to get it up to full speed before I throw the power on. All I got...
I have been trying to get my RPC running using the plans from http://home.att.net/~waterfront-woods/Articles/phaseconverter.htm
I followed the recommended capacitor values for my 5 hp motor however,...
Thanks for the help. i think i might end up going with a rotary phase converter becuase i need to run some other 3 phase machinery
So does this mean that running any small vfd on single phase power will not damage it?
I have recently purchased a cnc mill that came with a Mitsubishi Freqrol-A024 Variable frequency drive (2.2 KW output) to control the 3 horsepower 3 phase spindle motor. Now i know that most VFD's...
Thanks for the help Bubba. Thats what i assumed it did, it just seemed weird that the term's were labelled differently, and to me COMMON means ground. Just wanted to be sure in case i screwed it up...
