Interesting approach, I had thought about doing something like that, but then I just went ahead and bought a Centroid Acorn and DMM servos. Very easy conversion, except for having to cut out the...

It's been awhile now since I bought the Mikini. Its been a great machine and I've made a ton of parts on it. Never had any of the spindle problems that others have had.

I did rip out the original...

Hi Mike,
I did eventually get it going, I don't remember what I did though. I have since converted my lathe to a Centroid Acorn with DMM servos and it is light years better than the Fagor.

I also...

Hi,

I have a Gemini GV-U12E that I am trying to set up with Chinese BLDC. Its a 2.2kw (3hp) motor 4 pole with 3 hall sensors (no separate encoder) basically like the one that is sold here;
...

For now I am doing the same thing. I set Z about 10 inches up and set zero there. It will work for now.

Now for the weird stuff. I ran a program for my wifes jewelry tonight and it came out upside...

I was having trouble replying from home, so I am doing this from work... the spindle is running in reverse both from the manual panel and Mach3. I have slowed down on the reversing with the pendant...

With the help of some friends and a pallet jack I borrowed from work I have the Mikini unloaded and in fron of the garage. I ran power to it and it jogs and the spindle runs. However the spindle runs...

I live in Santa Clarita. Are there any Mikini owners near me so could see what it should look like? Apparently the previous owner did some wiring mods, especially around the main power supply board....

Well I made it home ok with the Mikini. 40 miles each way in L.A. traffic! I had them load it it with facing the back of my trailer so i could work on it while I make room in my garage.

It has a...

It sounds like the basic machine is as good as I thought it was, but the spindle is the weak point. I will look into upgrading it since I plan on making small parts from 303 CRES. I gues the driver...

Sounds like you two have had some issues with your machines... I know this will be a bit of a project, but I don't think it will be too bad. I will not mind if I have to replace all the electronics....

Hi,
I am picking up a used Mikini mill this weekend. I got to see it under power and the jog functions worked as well as the spindle. However the computer wouldn't start, so I couldn't see it run a...

Hi,
I just posted a wiring diagram for the 65BA series in this subforum. It may help you with hooking it up. sorry I don't have the actual manual, just that diagram.

Hi,

I found this diagram for hooking up the 65BA driver to the 65BM motors and thought others may find it useful.

I am still looking for the actual manuals for these drives since I have three...

ok, the leadscrew error 108 is fixed, very simple I just entered the existing numbers. Had to do it twice, but it worked. The control now starts with no errors. But when I go to op mode1 thru 6 I...

Hey Todd,

You're amazing, you got my Fagor to accept the code psychically! But really, I tried it again just before I went to work this morning and it accepted the M03 code. So tonight I will...

ok, i have tried every way I can think of the enter the M-codes, but the controller won't accept them. I know the unlock code works, because if I don't enter it I can't even type the 1's and 0's. ...

I did have a battery failure, that's what started this whole mess. I do have the unlock codes in the manual. I will try all this out this weekend and hope it works.

After I get all this done I...

What is the actual procedure for entering the code?
Do I just type M03 100000000000000 01000000000000001 and then press enter?

Prior to this I have tried M03 recall and M03 enter, but that...

I went out and took a look at the wiring to see what I needed to do to trace everything, and I found hand written on the inside of the cabinet behind the terminal block was the following.
...

I will trace the pins tomorrow and let you know where they go.

The rest of the parameters seem to be intact. At least there is info in all the parameter pages I have looked at.

BTW, Thanks for...

I have looked through the documentation that I got with the machine and did not see an I/O print. This was a pretty standard Hardinge/Accuslide installation with threading and a Sabina VFD.

Is...

Thanks, I will give him a call today.

Hi,

I posted this in "Machine controllers" before I realized there was a Fagoe forum. sorry about that!

I have a '92 Hardinge/Accuslide retrofit with a Fagor 8025TG controller. When i got it...

I know this is an old post, but I am having the same problem, bought the machine with a dead battery and need the decoded M functions, or at least the procedure to enter them.

Hi John,

If you are still looking for help I can probably assist you. I an in Sylmar, not too far from Pasadena.

Hi,

I have a '92 Hardinge/Accuslide retrofit with a Fagor 8025TG controller. When i got it the battery was dead and the parameters were lost. Between the manuals I got with the machine and...

With that material and tolerances I wouldn't even consider putting them on my L-20's, I'd throw that job on my Nakamura and have all 20k done in two weeks.

As for machining Nylon (any kind) use...

I agree with PixMan, Ugima is the only thing we put in our Citizens. Almost every part we make has +/-.0001 tolerance on the diameters. One part we make is .0469 +.0001-.0000 at each end and...

Hi Andrew,
I also have a Mikron 132. I have been looking for a manual for a few years now. Could I convince you to make a copy for me? I would of course pay for copying fees and shipping.
