Can anyone here give some good references for a shop to repair a bad Simodrive 611u?
Preferably in the Midwest (Ohio).
Well, we ordered a used board, and found we ordered the wrong one. We read the wrong part number off of the board. We ordered a board that used the same base PCB but was different. The used board...
Are you looking for the make multiple copies menu?
Click on the "Draw" pull down menu then click "Multiple copies..." Or there is a shortcut to that on the "Contour Edit" Toolbar (usually on the...
I use Enroute 6.1.0.15 and the job statistics still works for me. I am running on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC. If I click on the "Machining" pull down menu, then click "statistics" Enroute causes a...
We have a CNC router that is using a Simodrive 611 for the main spindle VFD. I am completely unfamiliar with these Siemens drives. I needed to retrofit a new spindle to this machine because the old...
I need the spacer keep the spindle centerline in the same position as the old spindle. So that I don't have to reinvent the toolchanger and dust shroud systems.
That is what I'm afraid of. The plate stock I was going to use is 6061 (I think). I was considering clamping on one side, surfacing half of it, then moving the clamps to the other side to finish,...
We are mainly a woodworking shop. So most of my experience is setting up cnc routing with wood and MDF sheet material.
However I need to mill a spacer fo mounting a new spindle on one of our...
What are some of your questions? (I also replied to you by email.)
My question is about the possibility of adding some kind of optical registration for part positioning to some older Fanuc controlled CNC routers. We have a number of older CNC routers with various...
I'm not asking for a way to hack Fanuc Control parameters. My question is about inspecting used machines before purchase. Is there an easy way to query the control to see what control options are...
I know this is an old post, but my experience with tuning CNC servos has been that the movements you are seeing at the corners are almost always caused by a mechanical issue. Especially if it is on...
If the mid range frequency/volt curve was supposed to be linear there would be no reason to need to enter mid range values for these, and the drive would simply extrapolate them. The dive has the...
I figured out the reason it was ignoring the commands from the control. This was a used drive, and I neglected to load all the default settings before beginning. There were some parameters for the...
Actually the Tech suggested I try, and was the first thing he suggested. (His exact words were "First thing I'd try is...)
E1-07=200Hz
E1-08=190v
(which also worked)
But I saw in the first...
My supply is 480v.
I got a reply from Yaskawa Tech support. The solution was setting E1-07 Mid Output Frequency and E1-08 Mid Output Voltage to the motor label values.
Setting them to these...
I thought the Base Frequency was supposed to be set to the lowest frequency the motor is ratted to get full voltage? (Which is 400hz on the motor name plate.) Be nice if Yaskawa would put a...
Help!
We have a CNC router with a 13.5kw HSD ES988 spindle. The machine came with an HSD VFD that failed. HSD no longer supplies or supports their VFDs, and the machine manufacturer is being...
Thanks, we'd gladly take what ever you're pulling off the old machine. I'll send you a private message with contact info.
Message sent.
How many ways are there to set an offset value in a Fanuc control (such as a 210i) besides manually inputting it on the offset screen, or using G10 or Custom Macro?
I do the setup and maintenance...
There is no coil for this keep relay in the PLC. It is only shows up once as a NC contact.
I work with a machine with a Fanuc control. It uses a number of Keep Relays to disable options in the PLC. I want to disable one of them mostly for diagnostic purposes, but after I force the Keep...
That is one of Linuxcnc's best features. It works perfectly well with old analog servo amps. (In fact I prefer the analog control to step/dir commands.)
Glad you figured out your encoder problem....
I was never very impressed by the wiring arrangement on the 408. There is simply a big loop of cable under the table that gets drug back and forth, with no cable chain to support and protect the...
I'm not expecting 100% perfect estimations, but when some estimates are within 90-110% of the real run time (which is acceptable), and others are less than 50% of the real run time, it is bordering...
Yes I have set the rapid speeds.
I know that the problem is primarily acceleration related. but is there any way to compensate for it?
Or maybe a suggestion for a better program to use for...
Anyone have any good tips for improving the Run Time Estimation in NCPlot?
I can get wildly inaccurate estimations depending on what sort of g-code it is. For example if the file is merely...
