Problem fixed!

Decided to go with an adjustable pressure sensor.

Used a SUCO 0166-40103-3-003

Had to re machine the input thread to 1/8 NPT, instead of adapting it.

I was able to set the...

Hey Machineit,

Do you have any info on what oil pressure switch you're referring to?

The original switch # 93-1311 or 93-1311a goes for about $130
Seems a bit excessive to me, for what it is....

Machineit,

Thanks for the reply.

Was needing to clean the pump anyway, to switch over to the SHC 625 oil.

Completely disassembled and cleaned the oiler.
Everything about the oiler is working fine.
I keep getting a "LOW LUBE OR LOW LUBE PRESSURE" alarm.

Is it possible the pressure switch is faulty?...

Does anybody have a 2005 ish MiniMill that they've had to rebuild or fix
the Bijur oiler on?

Mine doesn't seem to be pumping.

I don't want to upgrade to a newer system.

Anything is fixable.

Started getting a Z axis drive fault.
Machine won't rapid any faster than 10%
When the error comes up the amplifier is still showing a green light.
Anyone else have this happen? If so, what was...

Does anybody have any good suggestion for cleaning the coolant tank on a Mini Mill?

When I empty the tank, I like to get all the shavings and gunk cleaned out before adding the new coolant back...

I tried the steps you suggested haastec, but I'm still getting the error code.
It only comes up at powerup and is cleared when I hit reset.
However, I would still like to get it resolved.
Any...

This is on a MINIMILL
Has anyone else gotten this alarm?
I've never had a rotary table attached to this machine, but started getting this alarm at powerup.

Well, turns out I was able to find replacement parts for my existing regulator. It was the automatic dump that was leaking. Got a new auto dump and filter element.

Mine doesn't have an automatic dump. That's what I'm wanting to replace it with though. needing suggestions for a good one.

My air regulator moisture trap started leaking. I'm going to replace it, but was wondering if it would be a good idea to add an oiler to the line as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a...

I've always had good luck with keeping the tool tapers waxed. Try to find a wax that has PTFE in it.

The main reason I changed to the G53 is because on the MiniMill, with the umbrella tool changer, Z0 is not the highest point on the Z axis. It's Z+4.
Also, I wanted to position the X and Y axis to...

I changed my post to replace the G28 code with G53

Not sure why most posts use the G28

I'll have to remember the die crimp trick. Nice job!!!

You might try covering the emitter from he tool setter. It's possible that it's still recieving from it and not the spindle probe.

I did the calibration myself with a borrowed Renishaw laser system.

Just finish my MINIMILL.

X axis .00010 total accuracy .00004 repeatablity
Y axis .00015 total accuracy .00010 repeatability
Z axis .00007 total accuracy .00002 repeatability
...

Has anyone here ever calibrated there Haas with a laser system?
If so, what kind of accuracy did you achieve.

The older probe may be setup up for the legacy signal. (explained int he manual).

The newer probes and recievers are using a modulated signal. Some probes can transmit either one.

Isn't this what backlash compensation is for?

If the machine will repeat position, and the amount of slop is always the same, then there is a parameter made specifically to correct the problem.

Has anyone here ever performed a machine calibration?
How hard is it to enter the pitch error comps?

Seems pretty staright foward.

I'm in a position, to be able to borrow a Renishaw laser...

Working with a horizontal spindle is alot different than working with a Vertical spindle, as far as indicating is concerned. You want to make sure that whatever is holding the indicator is rigid...

How would I go about checking the flow meters and check valves? Im assuming your talking about the oiling system.
This would be on a 2005 MiniMill.

Thanks,

Posting a comment to get this back to the top of the list. Anybody have any suggestions?

Does anyone here have experiance with setting the proportional and integral gain, for the spindle drive, on a Fanuc 31I?

I had the same problem with mine. 2005 MINI MILL

It seems that the coolant had leaked in a little around the caps that hold the brushes in, causing the brushes to stick. This is on the shuttle...

Has anyone else tried the advanced jog setting? :wave:
