I will load the program Friday 04-09-2010 and see what happens. Thanks!

Hello all; I'm trying to drill a tube in two "X" locations. Right now the program is drilling as if it is a solid piece of material. I would like to speed the "R" plane threw the tube. Tube diameter...

I replaced the spindle controller board and the problem was gone. It had a 1010-4 board and found out you can use a 1010-5 board if you change to the correct prom's. "cost way to much thou" case...

Today I checked the spindle hall effect and found that there was 5volts, ground and a signal 4 volts until magnet then 0 volts. The air gap was tight .020, but I left it to pursue the wiring. All was...

I typed MDA instead of MDI because I'm brain dead. I will check the spindle magnet and pickup Monday and keep you posted.

The spindle runs for 3 seconds and quits. This is being run in MDA mode. A normal program of any type will fail at the point of grabbing a tool with an Orientation failure. So back to the spindle, I...

Hello all, It's been a while since I have been on this forum, please excuse. Back in March I started working with a Fadal VMC 15RT CNC. This was to get it working, so once it was placed in it's spot,...

Thanks for your information, After fixing a couple coolant leaks, I finally have 1 4020HT up and running, so I can work with the C.N.C. programming code. I successfully made a simple program to drill...

Well I found the coolant leak at the "X" ballscrew. The lines were cut and hanging in mid air. This Fadal has the "X" motor on the left side and the previous owner must of done maintenance on it. The...

I used the term "antifreeze" as a generic word for Dowfrost. It still could be the seals leaking though. I will get a better look tomorrow, when I'm able to clean the machine. If the seals are bad,...

Well the latest problem I ran into with my Fadal 4020HT is a coolant leak at the "Y" ballscrew. I fill the coolant tank with a 50/50 mix and unfroze the pump motor, I plugged the pump motor in and...

Thanks for the information. I'll work with it this coming week. I've been waiting on the chiller pump and it should be here today. After I make sure the spindle coolant system is working and a few...

My documentation for a VMC4020 in the maintenance section states, All VMC-20's and machines from 1992 to current will not have a spindle mist lubricator. If it's a old machine, oil type, "Use #5...

I replaced the "Z" motor with a rebuilt one and that corrected the "Z" fault. With the "C" or spindle problem, I found the inverter has 2 cooling fans and one of them was stuck, in which a heat sink...

I have a very basic question when writing a C.N.C. program, let's say drilling one .500hole in a part .100 deep. X=0 and Y=0. I'm trying to get a understanding in referencing the part "fixture"and...

I purchased a Fadal 4020HT CNC and am trying to get it working. It was sold as a working machine , but I'm finding out it not a correct statement. First of all, It's Fadal model 906-1 with a CNC 88HS...
