Regarding the above rant, Bobcad has stepped up big time and I am confident my problem will be resolved shortly.

Cincinnati Hawk with Fanuc 21i control.

I have my existing post working pretty well but there is one extra Z- rapid at the end of a threading cycle. It is really disconcerting as it returns the...

Thanks, I'll try that in the AM

The code comes from my post processor in Bobcad. I'll take a look and see if I can fix that also.

I have a Hawk lathe with a 21i giving me the above error. I cannot figure out what the problem is.

The first block is a straight drill cycle, no peck and it errors

The second is a peck drill...

Thanks I really appreciate the offer!

I wound up doing something to the main PC board to the extent that it would only sit there and beep slowly - not even make it to the bios. Then it looks like...

I have a 20 year old Tree 750 mill with a PC 2100 control and Yaskawa SGDB drives/motors. I have been chasing intermittent problems on the Acramatic for weeks and it looks like I finally managed to...

Turns out it was a memory problem, my memory. There is an offset/measure button on the membrane keypad that needs to be hit first.

I knew this, but it has been almost a year since I ran this...

I am having a problem setting the X offset on my machine (a Cincinnati Hawk) . I don't use this machine very often so it is very possible I have forgotten something. The Z seems to work fine.

At...

I need a female mold cut out of a 60" x 60" x 22" block of Styrofoam. Shape is a modified hemisphere. I will supply cad file and can supply the foam if needed.

Thanks!

I have been running my Mach3/Intergra (closed loop option) machine for a few years no problem with Maxsine drives & servos. A drive recently failed and I changed drives to the next larger model...

Hi Chuck, yes I still have it and I do have the key.

Are you interested in both the control software and the AS300? Make me an offer for both.

Thanks!

These are 10 amp/80v drives. I did push them right to the limit as far as current & voltage.

MicroKinetics can repair them...

Thanks SBC & Rob,

I'm just getting up to speed on the lathe, so taking little baby steps :)

I will give that a try later. I did find my biggest problem was I had the Z tool offsets fubar so the...

The code and .bbcd are in the zip file (fisrt post)

My lathe just ignores the moves at the top

I have a simple boring operation that has a couple of small chamfers, Instead of outputting the chamfers Bobcad is outputting radius's in the code. And my lathe (Fanuc control) is ignoring that part...

I have CNC Pro V 16.4 and AS300 V 8.9 that we are retiring.

Anyone know what the deal is with selling/transferring?

I kind of remember that I should have moved the license file off of the...

I finally got the software last week. This is my first time tuning servos so I am learning as I go. My first attempt dropped the error by a factor of 10-20. Now I am down to 800 or so on X & Y, 300...

Just finished updating my Bridgeport Series 2 from steppers to servos.

Using Mach3, Hicon board and Maxsine EP1 drives which accept step & direction. The machine basically runs great. 200 IPM...

I am finally going to change my Bridgeport series II from steppers to servos and I have no idea how to size the new motors.

The machine currently has some good size nema 42 steppers that I cannot...

I have a Cincinnati Hawk lathe with a 21i control and live tooling. I bought it used so I have no history on it.

We have run a few simple parts on it and it ran fine. Start up and homing all...

Hi Mike, thanks. Someone had cut the wires to this and put wire nuts on it! I have not dug any deeper yet but the 2 leads running to the switch have continuity.

Thanks, I kind of thought that was it. It made sense if there was no absolute switch. I just need to modify my post-processor and then figure out the next issue :)

I am getting an error on a G96...

dcoupar, I finally have a program loaded and ready to run.

Yes it is clear I have G-Code System A. And the G90 produces an error. So is System A something I want? My manual says B&C are options...

I'm trying to read a program from the memory card. I did it successfully once a few months ago but can't figure it out now or else something else has gone wrong.

I'm getting a bunch of spindle...

I do have another quesition. Is this closed when depressed or extended? Mine is shorted so I can't tell. I would almost think it is closed at some mid-point so it opens if moved in either direction....

Ok, got it figured out. The thing that confused me were the explanations I read previously that referred to machine 0 (home) , it is not actually 0. It is the machine reference position. Which in...
