Not so much a "Foundation Plate" but I make Part specific subplates all the time. Usually 2" thick Al, usually for a 2nd op, some times the part fits into a recessed cavity with cam locks, drain...

NC Editor highlights Z moves in RED for a reason

Scroll through your code and check you are not mixing Absolute and Incremental Z Moves

1. The soft axis limits should be found in the "Set Up" screen of your controller and can be set properly there. Best to use the dimensions listed in the manual

2. Sounds like your servo-drives...

The ought to have a number stamped into the base - you'll need that

Hurco used a lot of Telemecanique at least mine did. Once you have the number check Eboner or Allied Electronics

I think I emailed you to let you know I had the manuals including set up if you still needed them

Morse Variable Tooth blades work best for me

I sent my Hurco Mother Board into Dynapath for service

For $245 they replaced the battery, checked the electronics and checked the EPROM programming. Got it back took me about 2hrs to re-install...

You didn’t say which control system you had in your Hurco.

Mine was upgraded to a Dynapath 50 11yrs ago and it runs great. Repeatability, precision, I’m very happy with it.

Controllers can run...

They still make Floppy drives

I'm going off a MHP-3K with updated Dynapath - 50 controller.

The manual doesn't have any servicing information for the "Spindle Speed Control Board" or the "Proximity Sensor" located on the...

and of course you checked to see if your Tach on the spindle is functioning properly.

I think Hurco uses some thing like a proximity sensor which is little more then a magnet passing by a very...

Doesn't Hurco use a "Belt and Pully" on their spindle.

The belt would be my first guess as to the noise maker.

Well I am guessing the rotation is correct

Are we talking a "Multi-voltage" motor? Can be wired to run 208 or 480. Have you checked to make sure all the field windings in the motor are connected...

Is it "Servo Fault" or "Over Travel" ?

Yes - I've had to remove covers and hand turn them off the E-Stop micro switch before and probably will again - it happens.

Most controlers employ a Dual...

Maybe - perhaps the Control Power Transformer is using the "Manufactured Leg" from the RPC and when he starts the spindle it drops below the threshold voltage for the controler.

Either way from...

Should all be in your programming manual

Which Hurco Control package are you using? My mill came with the Dynapath 50 and they use a G8/G9 code for Convex/concave radius.

Adjust to the lowest speed for starting.

At the end of your program just insert the speed reduction or do it manually. My Rotary converter gets legs any time I try to start the spindle over 2K...

If you mean some thing like MasterCam yes it does do the same thing but there are a few setup things you have to do when you are modeling the part and then it is a "Crap Shoot" if the post processor...

I have the hard copy manual for the Fenner Servo Dynamics drives too

You mean the G8, and G9 Concave, Convex cavity cutting cycles? Sure is a lot easier then trying to play around with "Planar Chains" in Cam.

The anilam will run another 10 yrs without too much trouble and a fairly large group of software engineers/mechanical engineers have done their best to idiot proof the control system's software.

Found the answers on another forum and from dinking around but I thought I would share them here for anyone who comes looking.

1. You need to run from COM-1 on the computer which is the 9 pin plug...

Thanks MrWild

I'll go looking for that battery

BTW: I started out on a Tech bench in the late 70s. Working on PC boards is not too scary for me at all. Finding replacements for 25yr old ICs...

I have a Cinci #2 T&C sitting here doing nothing if you are any where close to Sacramento CA

Check the specifications of your transformer.

Most are rated to supply 100% load with a 40C rise over ambient temp. Calculate your load requirements, they should be no more then 80% of FLA of the...

If they don't put the machine head counter sink on a tool and cutter grinder and shape it to do the job you need. The relief angle on the second bore would be the only hard part

Anilam GXM help

We got this machine 2 weeks ago and are having a few problems – I would like to get the original controller working prior to any up grades. So far we have manipulated all the axis,...

Hi – thanks for the replies

We just got this machine in 2 weeks ago. So far we have manipulated all the axis, spindle, and jog controls manually with success.

We tried using the “Manual-Edit”...

Hi – glad I found this place

Me and my son have been producing a few parts together, (mostly as a hobby) and have come to the point where we needed to go with CNC to keep up. We bought an old...
