    Re: Fanuc 04 PC connect pc network

    I used an RS232 to USB adapter connected to a laptop on my old Vipros 345 with the 04PC. Programs were transferred with DNC4U, which worked very well. Programs were stored in a network folder written...

  6. Re: questions for getting AP 100 ver 6.1.07 working with Amada brakes

    Judging by the release dates of the upgrades, that's an ancient piece of software, guessing early 2000's?

    Re: Need help. Amada RG 100L

    Grabbed a random RG manual off the Amada site, there's a split adjuster on the left side of the upper beam. Pic attached, it's fairly self explanatory.

    Re: Request for operation manual

    Joe,

    I have no connection to Lapis, the link just posted that way. They have many of the Amada user and operator manuals posted on their website.

    AFAIK, all the Amadas are open and can can accept standard text format programs, so you can use third party programs like Radan, SMP etc. At my current place, I program our EMK with Merry Mech SMP....

    +1 to Paul's response. The nesting software can make all the difference. Dr Abe has a learning curve, but once you're up to speed it's very good software. I used Dr Abe Blank for four years before...
  17. Re: how to support expanded metal steel sheets in laser cutter

    We punch a bunch of 18ga expanded metal on our old Nisshinbo turret and it has always been a PITA. We've reduced ourselves to shearing the 4x4 sheets down to 24x16 and run it as a single part, no...

    Your best bet is probably to send a PM to "AmadaJoe" here on CNC Zone. He's an ex-Amada tech and operates Alternative Parts Inc in the USA. Extremely knowledgeable guy.
