Hi,

The motors on our Robofil 310 do not move. I am talking about all the DC Motors (5 axis motors, plus Spool Drive Motor and Wire Drive Motor) The problem is NOT with the 40V or the 24V supply...

Has anyone disassembled a Fanuc ServoMotor w/brake that can share his knowledge with the correct procedure? When I run this motor disengaged I can hear some mechanical noises inside. I would like to...

Will check the DC bus, had not thought of that.

Thanks,

Al,

Motors are AC 3ph
Lube system is O.K.
X axis does not come with counterweight (this is a 16in swing lathe). The servomotor holds the turret
The X servomotor was decoupled from the screw. ...

Hi,

I was working a regular job with our Leadwell LTC30 slanted CNC leathe which comes with a Fanut OTb control. Suddenly I noticed that for both axes, during axis travel, a vibration developed. ...

Have you, or anyone else thought of Alibre...

As for the diamond guide it may be explained if your are doing tapered cuts more frequently.

Used a 3 phase motor with a VFD and works fine.

Hi,

I still have an Emco 340 built 1.986 with its original Sinnumerik control. I am getting repeatedly Alarm 13, checksum error in Z axis. The hydraulic unit will not even start because of this...

Hi, I replaced mine, bought it at Galco. Can also be you have a problem with your control and no video signal is being sent.

Hi, I just retrofitted an Emco 340 lathe with Mach 3. Takes time but it works.

We purchased one one year ago and it has been reliable and user friendly. Because it has not given us any trouble we have not had need for service. Instalation and training were well done.

All we do is transfer files back and forth. Floppys are only used for loading machine software when it is required.

I think the DNC capability was an option on these machines but not sure. ...

Here you go......

I have gone through the same process as kip. I may share some additional info regarding my experience with this (I have a Robofil 310):

You can use HD disks and format them to 720. Cover the...

Thanks for the information both.

Surface finish has been deteriorating progressively over time (did not happen suddenly). It all points at generator problems.

Mdynac, is there a simple...

Hi All:

We have a 17 year old machine Robofill 310. The surface finish is not nearly as good now as it was in the first years of operation. We have replaced guides and even the wire brake. Can...

Hello All:

I have an old (1986) Emcoturn 340 CNC lathe with a Siemens Sinnumerik Control. The control just gave up, and I do not want to waste more time finding out what is wrong. I will buy a...

You have to look at your connector in order to help determine possible stardards. If it is CGA or EGA you may consider buying an EGA or CGA to VGA converter card. Google EGA to VGA converter and you...

Just to add, that burned area gets extremely hot during operation, it was not something that happened before. The E/S card was observed and it looks in good condition.

We took off the 851 4500C board and observed this burn. Is this caused by a problem with the same board or with something external? I do have a spare board but do not want to take chances. The...

Hello

I found a spare I/O board in our storage room, but I am not sure it is compatible with the one installed on the machine. Can you please check attatched images and tell me if they are...

Thanks, the problem is more serious than that. Even with both contacts bypassed the machine still shows the door open alarm.

Thanks mdynac. I will check into that this week and let you know. The door switch has two independent Normally Closed contacts so we will have to follow the trail of both.

Our machine shows door open alarm while door closed. We replaced door switch with new one but that is not the problem. Any one has had experience with that particular problem?

Did you solve your problem sir?

Hello:

Our PCBs are not the same. Yours is 8515440, ours according to the manual should be 8526520, but in reality is 8527220C. It does not come with leds but other cards which are labeled the...

Hello:

No, that alarm is not in our manual either. If you know exactly what card we are talking about I could look into our machine and check the led status in that card and .
Maybe Charmilles...

We once got Comm error UPR1. Turned out that water was dripping through the cables that come from the pressure sensor into the electrical cabinet. The cards were dried with a blower and the problem...
