The best thing to do with an 8025 is upgrade to the 8035..... 8025 was our ugly duckling work horse control back in the 80's and early 90's, but it has run its course. Had a great run though.......

The Engraving Cycle is something added by local R&D.... hence is not in the manual. I am going out of memory, but when ready to type the text, I believe you hit the ISO key and then simply type in...

Hi RBI,

Yes, we have an Engraving Cycle option. It may already be turned on with your 05 machine, or not. Call and talk to the Fagor service department at 800-423-2467 if you discover it is...

Error 064 can only be caused with one thing and that is loss of voltage on the Emergency input (Pin 1 of the I/O 1 port (The only 37 pin connector on the back of the CNC)

This is an external alarm...

Nasa Machine Tool is still in business and doing well, they are in New Jersey, you can google their number. They should have drawings for you.

good luck !

The 8020 does not have a PLC, it instead utilized dedicated inputs and outputs...... your control will operate if you jumper pins 14, 15 & 16 on I/O 1 to 24vdc and have 0vdc on the reference inputs...

I know that Gibbs has a good post for most Fagor CNC configurations..... thus, if you haven't gotten the Fagor post from Gibbs, you should contact them. These things are typically just minor...

David,

Really what you need are the parameter set from the Machine Builder..... all parameter tables are set by the Builder and are unique for each machine. Somebody elses paramter set would not...

Beno,

The exact details of what each M-code does is actually set by the Builder/Integrator of the machine and is located within the PLC program.

I could walk you through it if I had the PLC...

As far as hooking up the analog command to the spindle drive, its a simple thing. You can find the pin-outs from the 8055 in the installation manual. You also have an enable signal and possibly...

My apologies, I didn't read your post clear enough the first time.....

I have had this happen to me before, its something simple.... but, I do not remember what I did to solve it.

As a note,...

I've been in that area many years ago, we have a lot of controls at Dresser Rand and a few at Corning Glass..... or at least we used to, I assume they are still in alive and okay.

In any regards,...

Hi Jerry,

The 8035 CNC was a purpose built CNC to replace/upgrade over the old 8025 series. Hence, the compact design the same as the 8025. It is a modern CNC based upon in part the 8055,...

I know how Dan..... the 8025 does do PLC programming a bit different than our modern day controls, there is an exchange of marks between the CNC and PLC internally that work in conjunction with your...

No, there is a way around this.... I'll have to think about what it was. (Its been a lot of years since I did Infinite length execution..... but in the past I had run some very long programs that...

The old 8040's unfortunately do not have a USB port, but the new 8055's do.... so you're stuck running RS 232 in this case. You shouldn't have any problems with DNC, but before diagnosing any...

What generally happens here is that one of your Glentek drives kicked out with a "Current Overload", in fact there will be a lit LED on one of them telling you which one, which in this case is...

Okay, now that I have more information, I think I know your problem...

Your issue is related to parameters......if the CNC is stalling, it is related to that next line of M06....... does your machine have an automatic tool changer ? Tell me more about your machine. ...

I apologize, but I do not read Spanish.... but I see error code 064 mentioned.

As a bit of infomation on a 8025 MS..... error 064 means "External Emergency Detected" This is not a CNC error, it...

Hi Dave,

PM your email address, and I can send you a good proven Milling w/tool changer PLC program that will in general, possibly work for you if you utilize the identical I/O assignments.

What I can tell you is that Mastercam has a good working post for the Fagor CNC here in the USA, I assume this is available for overseas too. Talk to your local Mastercam dealer.

Hope this...

Encoder slippage on the shaft is the most common problem with these types of problems.... with most encoders, there is one marker pulse per revolution of the encoder..... when threading, the CNC...

Yes, the 8025 can easily do it, you just have to convert it to the appropriate format that 8025 requires.

If you have the programming manual, you will see it uses certain F codes for...

Sorry, I do not. I do know Mastercam has one..... perhaps for free if you are one of their existing customers, but do not know.

good luck !
