Joeyjrc,

Please PM me and will help you out if I can.

Joeyjrc,

You will only see this if the secret turn on paramter is enabled, if it is not trend on, you won't see it.

If you guys send me your email address I will send you a set of stock parameters, dwords, macros to load to try to help you with your machines. The particular backup for your individual machines is...

Let me see what I can come up with tomorrow,

Mike

I will make some calls tomorrow and get all the info I can. Mike

As far as your turret is concerned, make sure the motor coupling is tight and not slipping, also check your turret up prox switch, if it is not set right, it will truly to index before it is fully...

Check your PM, I sent you some info

Mike

Phil,

Let me know what kind of machine it is and the serial number, I will try to help. I worked for Hardinge for 31 years as a tech, so I know these machines like the back of my hand and have...

I will get whatever info for you that I can, we have been able to resurrect just about anything, I would be the guy that came in to fix some peculiar messes before, willing to help you out, let's...

What is the serial # of your machine ? I used to work at Hardinge for 31 years, and many years on that line, we have backups of all of our machines, I will contact someone tomorrow there and get them...

I am looking for your surplus CNC parts, including contactors, relays, motors, control parts, anything that you may not need anymore and just want to get rid of, working condition , of course.

No problem !! Great you were able to get a new machine !! If you ever need help in the future just let me know. If you are ever looking to get rid of any kind of control parts, let me know, I...

The disconnect alarms are due to the encoder cables either not hooked up or bad cables, not the drive cards. I worked there for 31,years and we had these alarms crop up many times. It could also be...

There should be a disk in the back power case door that has all the parameters, K-words, programs that originally shipped with the machine. If not, you could the Harding service department and gave...

We used to use UP6/DN8 program to upload/download from our machines. To output the parameters we just went to the parameter page and typed (output soft key) O-9999 and pushed the output/start hard...

Martin,

Make sure the correct bit is coming on as the ring activates the prox switch. Also, the home for your turret will be the highest station. Also try seating the turret on the highest...

If you turn off the associated K-bit for that axis you want to disable it will not require you to home it. I worked on these machines for 32 years at Hardinge.....so I will help him get running, I...

They were set up that way to avoid confusion during programming. The way they are set up are according to FANUC standards. So you may want to keep them this way so that your programmer doesn't get...

The parameters though are in the machine that control the spindle and drive. Parameter 4133 sets the motor/drive code and a bunch of parameters are configured using this parameter.

Set parameter 1023 to -128 for that axis to disable it

3132 sets the absolute axis letter

3133 sets the relative axis letter name

If you want them the same, make sure these parameters match

One thing I forgot to mention that I have seen in the past many time which would prevent an axis from moving in a certain direction is the tool probe inputs! If one of them is "on" it will prevent...

Benjamin,

I would first make sure your motor code is correct in the parameters. Looking at the parameter book you will see that the motor model code sets a bunch of other parameters related to...

Usually you get the "chuck open" message when you try to cycle start the machine with the chuck open, which you can't do.

If you have a +24 volt short in your machine it will do this, it will start to power up and then shut down as the +24 volt circuit kicks on, usually an input is shorting out the +24 volt circuit

Did you try jogging the Z axis in the minus direction until it stops and then the x axis in the minus direction until it stops and then move each axis in the plus direction until it homes, all you...

I used to work at Hardinge and we do keep a backup of all of our machines that we built because I was the one who used to do it. I have left the company and moved south but I have close ties there....

Hey Len,

Just wondering where in Greenville your shop is, I'd like to see it. My wife and I are visiting our son in Simpsonville and I have worked for a machine tool builder for 30 years and...
