I am trying to understand how to use this old machine that is new to me which seems to function well but I don't understand the DATUMS.
The 0 line in the table puts the spindle near the defunct...

Thanks for the consideration but I have torn down the control and am in the retrofit process. I am using a PLC from Automation Direct and a new control from Mach Motion with Mach 3. A lot of...

I have begun a retrofit on my Mori SL1 lathe that has a bad Yasnac 2000b
control. I have found all the inputs and outputs to and from the NC except the X and Z limit switches. I know where they...

Very good, thanks! I discovered NLREG a linear regression software that graphs and does nonlinear regression to match a curve to a set of points with descriptive statistics. That will really help...

I really appreciate your thoughts and loved looking at the Moi forum. The video is such a great way to communicate. Amazing how far we have come with personal computers and the internet.

For...

Burr,

MoI looks very interesting. If I understand, I would then be able to look at the line lengths as a statistic to report variance from the ideal standard and know were the problem areas were?...

Yes that is the ticket! :wee:

Just need to program alignment of "perfect shape" along the "sloppy existing cut" to determine the furthest point need to be cut, to place the new contour. ...

Thanks for all the input!

What I am doing is developing a CNC ice skate sharpening machine, The blades
I am working with now are about 12 inches long. They are built with an initial shape...

here are a few points from the file
they are only significant to .001 I really hope to use the
points to identify the location of the part, then program
an ideal arc move rather that a point to...

Does anyone know of a software that can take a csv or dwg file consisting of a set of x and y coordinates that describes an arc and identify the best fitting curve? I am working on a CNC grinder...

I guess with total incompetence, I wired these motors because it is completely wrong. Not sure how such a dumb job was done but hopefully I can get it fixed and move on....

I noticed that A and /A are in continuity on the motors and I wonder if that is the problem. Also can I connect the power with the motors disconnected or will this damage the drives?

Thanks.

Just trying to put together a 3 axis system using Campbell break-out board, AnTek 40v powersupply and 3 G251x drives with 3.5a stepper motors. I have on the DC side the 3 fuses 5a that have all...

I have definitely been caught in that one and the one with the chuck clamp not on as well! This time thought the control is warning us that the servos are not on plus we now know that there is no...

It is our second Hurco but we got them at the same time and have only a little experience with the first one. Thanks

Need help with Hurco Hawk km5p cnc mill. We purchased it with the idea that it was a working machine but now on our shop floor the servos will not start. The screen indicates that the servos are...

I have a 2000b control and successfully use a BTR from Omega in Dallas phone 817 633 2895 ask for Tommy. The computer needs to be using windows 97 and the software runs in a DOS window. Newer...

Wayne Nosalla has shut down his bulletin board for Mori due to spammers.

It could be dirty inside or coming apart. My turret was somehow jamming and I did not know it. I would be running a...

I also have a Mori with Yasnac 2000 but mine is 2000b. To be sure, if the chuck clamp is not engaged, cycle start will not work. Several times I have been in this situation in a panic only to...

I need help with several problems with my Mori Seiki SL-1 with Yasnac 2000b control. The control has failed yet another time. This time it will not accept programs via the BTR and results in an...

I appreciate the link. I have already employed Martin CNC to do the battery upgrade. It looks like our machine is calibrating fine but it is not moving correctly despite reloading the leadscrew...

We got our BMC 20 Max II machine working after having the memory and batteries upgraded. It worked for awhile and then went down and now it seems to work but the axis movement is off. The DROs say...

Still does not work - no calibration key...

There is a key but I am not sure which way is unlock. There are 2 pictures of a grid. One has a line under it an the other an x with arrow heads across the grid. I assume that one means unlock. ...

I think it is a Max II control.

I can not get past the screen that shows general limits like x axis travel of 22 inches and y and z travel of 14 inches. At the bottom of the screen it says that...

The battery problem is one problem we suspected. There is no softkey for calibration. The screen shows axis travel limits etc. Do we need to get newer boards with external batteries and newer...

The machine works! We got the axes moving and spindle turning. However, we had to use the enter, 999, enter to make it happen. How do we calibrate the axes and do we need some other software in...

It did not make a difference with the air connected. The buttons were not functioning and when we disassembled the control panel, we discovered that the pins on the backside of the buttons were...

We just set up an old 1991 Hurco BMC-20. The history of it operation status is unknown. This morning we powered it up and cannot get the manual, power, start sequence to boot the servos. The...

Thanks, I will see if I can get to the circuit parts to the contactor as they are under a large circuit board...
