    My mid/late 90's Mori Seiki SV50 just threw a 916 bomb on me. I have Parameter backups but have never inserted a card into the slot to back up whatever is available there. LED's on Main Control ...

    Re: Fanuc OM Homming Problem plz help !!

    Do the X Y and Z HOME indicator lights light up when you try Zero Return? If not... you're not actually Zero Returned.

    Are you holding the button in the whole time or one push.

    Have you tried anything I've suggested? Like P CANCEL on Startup and checking into Stored Stroke Limits?

    Grid shift is what you use to set Home on an Incremental Machine. (No batteries)

    Make sure you do not have any Stored Stroke Limits set. Search your Parameter Manual for STROKE LIMIT, and make sure nothing is set wrong in there.

  7. Re: how to disable tool change option Fanuc Om-C

    Yes all that is the easy way to do it, but this isn't the first person I've seen lately wanting something like this. Seems nobody either wants to or has the ability to modify a Post or Program...
  8. Re: how to disable tool change option Fanuc Om-C

    It will not disable it, only bypass it. You only need to make one of those parameters 6, not all. Then you need to create a program using the proper program number that you assigned 6 to, and save...
  9. Re: how to disable tool change option Fanuc Om-C

    Well you could just never call an M6, but if you're trying to use existing programming that has M6's in it, either modify your Tool changer program. (potentially program 9001) and remove everything...
  10. Re: "rotate tool drum first" probelm Fanuc OMC

    Fanuc is a Motion Controller, not an ATC controller. The MTB does that. It might help if people new what Year, Make and Model of machine you're talking about and what type of tool changer it has....

    Maybe just try a dab of WD40 or similar in the start zone. Might be enough to get you going.

    There are so many unknowns on a home built and I'm not used to working with such a light machine. The...

    Re: Chips welding to the end mill

    Generally you do not want to run an end mill right down the center of a previous cut. Better to have it past center.

    Ty to at least use and air blast to clear chips.

    In general, the motor will likely be right under the front way cover. There will be a connector that connects the motor shaft to the ballscrew. Maybe under a cover. The motor will come off with 4...
  17. Re: controlling feedrate in tight corners.

    By lowering the feedrate at or nearly so to the start of the arc. For one thing I don't think it's normally referred to as cutting speed but engagement angle. How far around the tool does the radii...
  18. Re: controlling feedrate in tight corners.

    Hi Reg,

    I guess I see in your first post how you were describing the adverse speed in corners problem, and by extension, your familiarity with the supplied equations.

    So yes, if you're looking...

    Re: Tool probing re-install (TS27R)

    Have you been thru the Machine Tool Builders Operations Manual? If it's installed by them, the only place to find info would be in there.

    If it's aftermarket, and a Fanuc control, have you looked...
  20. Re: controlling feedrate in tight corners.

    Hi reg... I don't know what's going on here, but for some reason you're being drowned in a lot of excess knowledge, when all you're really after is how to adjust linear feedrates when cutting the...

    Re: G83 retract remains in hole ?

    Re: G83 retract remains in hole ?

    Hi Reg, glad to help. Not that it matters much, but I'm pretty sure a G0 cancels any Fixed Cycle like G80 does. Meaning technically you wouldn't need the G80's. I just left them in there for good...
  30. Re: Want to add touch probe to Ladder in Fanuc PLC

    Sorry to hear that. I'm going to look up some youtube videos about making probes and see what it's all about. Not that I want to make one, but just to check out the ideas used.

    I wish you luck.
