After some consideration and discovering that the preferred grease is hard to find in affordable quantities - I called in the specialists to do the final assembly, alignment, and testing. It was a...

True -

I have been (as time permits) been studying the alignment procedures you linked for the 240M which I also have in the shop. I will be back on the machine in two days and hoping I can...

Thank you for the link.... your manual posts are amazing.

Studying the 240M which is considerably different than the 2000SY but I guess the alignment concepts are very similar. I have the parts...

I am in the process of repairing a 2000SY Doosan and almost have it ready for work.

The final challenge is diagnosing and repairing the live tool drive. When running free, it is quiet. After...

Well.....I finally got this cover off without damage. The slide hammer technique did not work, but it did lead me to the final solution. I ended up rigging a make-shift puller which was enough to get...

I did not attempt to run through the ladder, but I did figure out a solution.

In the settings I allowed the PMC to stop and then proceeded to stop the program. I was then allowed to change the...

Thank you for chiming in. I did try that before leaving the shop today and it did not help. I also tried re-boot to change settings before the NC system is activated (in E-Stop).

Still scratching...

Doosan Puma 2000SY with Fanuc 18i-TB control.

I was doing some electrical maintenance and backed up machine data. That process needed me to change K17:BIT1 in KEEPRL (Keep Relay). Going from ZERO...

Excellent, thank you.
Are you able to send your resume with contact information in a PM to me?

I will be happy to take a look.

Good luck with the Fadal.

This is a small shop making prototypes and...

As a reference:
I have the capability to make them in my garage shop but would likely pass at $200/ea.

Couple of reasons:
The programming time is not trivial for designs like that.
The cycle...

OP: What would you expect the upper limit of your budget to be?

Also, on cosmetically sensitive parts like this, surface finish is a BIG contributor to the cost.

How many? Are these molds, or...

Inventor/HSM is my backup plan if Fusion goes off the rails. Still lower cost than Solidworks and Mastercam that I have used for 20+ years.

I doubt Autodesk will be dumb enough to kill off...

To be clear.... all files go to the cloud. You have the option of locally backing up your files but only if they don't have any linked parts.

In general, F360 is 100% cloud based no matter what...

With any CAM software..... the post processor is a critical element. I made my own posts for the various software products I used over the years. They generally require a considerable amount of...

Replacement tubes for similar sized Epilog lasers are only about $1200. Check actual pricing before digging too deep into a challenging retrofit project.

My Epilog tube is nearly dead. The people...

Additional notes.....
I abandoned Mastercam about a day after getting F360 and have not turned back. I am faster and more productive with F360.

Fusion is fast and supports the majority of complex geometry and machines. It is low cost, modest hardware requirements, LOTS of learning resources, and other good attributes.

The primary dark...

Forming taps are excellent for deep threads in modestly hard materials.

Coming from an engineering background, there are a few designs that justified unusually deep threads. All the machinists...

Anyone can make a post processor. Only a few can do it well.

It would be best if you could say what you are capable of. What have you done in the past? What problems have you solved? What...

I still was unable to remove the cover plate. It moves slightly, but does not want to come off. Some rusty fluid with water like viscosity leaked out..... making me worry about the condition of the...

So, after backing up 5 machines - all Doosans from 2003-2006 - only one would not write non binary data to the PCMCIA card.

Its not a show stopper, but I sure would like to figure out if it is...

That information is amazing level: 11
Really appreciated. Going through the documentation now to get a feel for what I am in for.

I did indeed do the SRAM boot backup - which was successful. It creates a binary that, if I am not mistaken, is all of the machine data.
The reason I am backing up the rest individually is because...

New to Fanuc and Doosan - trying to accomplish full backups.

So far, successful backups of the PMC Parameters and SRAM to PCMCIA slot via adapter and CF card. The program backup, CNC parameters,...

The internal drive sounds good when running free. Each of the driven tools sound and feel good when externally driven. When one is engaged on the turret, it makes a clacking sound and there is quite...

I am new to a shop with a well used Puma 2000SY. One of the issues is the driven tool mechanics making a lot of noise.

I am new to Doosan machines and wanted to ask a question before diving in....

Communication is not the strongest quality of the company.

The BT30 spindle should not be a limitation for M2.5 tapping. Not sure how tight the sync is on the motion control which is where the problems would likely be sourced. I use Techniks ANSI tap holders...
