dang. that ball is really small, but not a point. I never even thought of that on that tool. Of course if it was my wiggler, I take into account of it for .200
ok,,, I just edit here.

Well, I decided with all the backlash threads that come up recently, I wanted to actually check mine. I have had all 1's in there since I had the machine, and that was based on what was already there...
The fixture offsets, and the tool offsets are downloading with my programs from machine to laptop, but not any SETP stuff like backlash.
this is what I used in CIMCO Edit

Drip feeding is just based on the correct communications from laptop to VMC, and VMC back to laptop.
I use a IOGear USB to DB9 serial and it works 100% both directions.
Serial cards are just...
All that matters is you have a working solution today.
the document I posted has nothing to do with the LPT port however. The RS232 is the serial comms port on computers, and the port on my VMC15....

I have a Dell C840 with serial and USB ports. I use the USB to Serial converter cable, and then a custom made DB 9 pin to DB 25 pin cable. Fadal has some strange cable setup that a null modem cable...
To follow up on my question with my understanding I have now.
4050F is the same as plain 4050.
4050 is the stack length and diameter.
F is for Fadal
FS is for Fadal Short and these were used...
tag is the same as the gm4050 I have on my X today. I purchased it as a X axis replacement. The tags are the same except the GM4050 and GM4050F-1 ..I was told it was the Y axis on a 4020 is what it...
What is the difference in the GM4050 and the GM4050F-1 ?
Tags look the same. I have one of each.
Sounds like cold solder joints somewhere. Typical for anything PCB based from the 80's and early 90's. Today, soldering is better and QC is alot better.
I replaced my green screen CRT with an LCD...
I had this same problem of about the same amount of it being off.
Get the machine at the CS marks. Do a SETZ so that is home zero. Now power the machine off WITHOUT doing the 4-home axis 2- home...
There is 2 ways to do this. One is the ZERO at part way. The other is to use the Fixture Offsets.
ZERO AT PART:
Use whatever method you use to index to the center of that hole. Do a SETX SETY ....
Well, I did not know about the space bar menu's while in Auto mode, but I just read about what is available in that background edit and it does not do what was on my wish list.
A simple...
On the Fadal screen version SYS97.3 and above, it shows the BUFFER information on the screen while cutting. Pic attached
Oh my gosh, you cannot imagine how I wish there was a way to just tweak the...
Machine is still tight. Backlash is great on this machine.
I had search the forum for past postings and someone mentioned that the look ahead buffers will fill and on long runs, or really tight...
HT is High Torque - as in the spindle.
I have seen pictures of the cooler lines going into the ball screw area, so, if you had this type of assembly on the table, I would think you will see...
I see no one answered this one.
The version coming up is different on the SYS PROM models. The best to know what SYS is on the board is to check the CPU card 1400-? and you will see a smaller...
I figure that most people are on the 'if it is not broke, dont fix it' mode here on the forum. Pulling the pendant apart and learning about the keyboard matrix was no fun at all. Thankfully it was...
I purchased a 1993 VMC15 in 2007. I paid what was considered good value for that time the machines were selling for. Today, I would get no less than a 1996 machine in order to make sure you are on...
The controller that some dont like, but I am sure others may to some degree is the MP32.
there are differences in the 88 and the 88HS series of pendants. The 88HS tends to have the rigid tap, 10k...
I have installed a Proface HMI touchscreen interface to my VMC15. Just wanted that more modern look and update to the machine. It also gave me a reason to try and understand ladder logic a little.

Dango, this LCD install is not targeted to be anything like the EarthLCD install that was used months ago by someone else. I tried a BNC input to video converter and I did not like the scan freq...
Only hard to come by for what I would consider a reasonable cost.
Neal was great in his support of the identification of the parts needed, and the wiring schematic I needed.
I got the LCD from...
I wanted to share my LCD install on my 93 VMC15. Sure made it more pleasant to look at. The font is larger, the blue background is calming. I just hated that black on green screen.
I had to...
I have the American Rotary 20HP on my VMC15. Works so good, I can also run a 5HP engine lathe at the same time with no issues.
Hi,
I am in need of the pin out of the MP32 display to interface board inside the pendant cabinet.
What i need is the IF the display inside the pendant cabinet has a D sub 15 connector on one...
I am the last person that should try to explain this... I have yet to get my Z offsets perfect like a pro would...
I use MasterCam too however.
your problem is in the offset number however you...
Well, I used a rigid tap holder and it tapped fine for me. My machine stops with the .2 on anything. It has the rigid tap option for sure, but I was told the .2 was the speed selection, and my...
