Huh, it's interesting you say that - I left the control cabinet open, and it's been on/idle for 5 hours now without freezing. It doesn't feel particularly hot in the cabinet, and all the fans seem to...

I replaced the power supply on my delta 20 with a meanwell qp-320f, and got everything installed last night. Unfortunately, my symptoms are the same with the new power supply - the control runs fine,...

Hi all,

My Delta 20 control has started doing something new, which is causing me problems

It powers on ok, and I can run programs etc. however, it is now quite frequently cutting out and...

Hi everyone,
I've decided to replace the power supply on my delta 20 control. I've ordered a meanwell qp-320f, and it should be arriving tomorrow.

Can anyone provide guidance on the process? In...

Awesome, thanks

I was worried I'd have to re-touch off all my tools every time I move the knee :)

Lee

Just checking back to this, something occurred to me:

Does this process for setting tool lengths work even if the height of the knee changes? I *think* it does, because the tool lengths are being...

This is awesome
Thank you so much!

Lee

Ah ok! That makes sense - I'll definitely take a look into doing the same. Though, it might make more sense just to find a laptop I can keep by the mill, to more quickly/sanely navigate this stuff....

Hi all

Is there a way to change/replace a broken tool mid-cycle without losing place in the program?

I had a tool break during a drip fed program and wanted to replace it. I hit motion stop...

Thanks very much DJ! I'm going to have to re-read your message a couple times while standing at the control to digest it, I think - the dynapath control does take a little head-wrapping to figure out...

I found it! It's under "choose display --> block mode". Then it shows the next 8 or so lines of code. Weee!

Thanks for all the help everyone

Hi DJ,

I didn't see a fixture calibrate soft key - maybe you're right that the D20 doesn't have it. Dang, that's a pain...

Can anyone else with a Delta 20 confirm?

Thanks

Thanks RT, I'll take a look at the comment line

I did think about printing out setup sheets as a workaround, but was hoping to avoid having to do that for every job - I don't run production, so...

Hi all

I'm getting to grips with drip feeding programs to my Delta 20 control, and I realized I have no idea how to see where I am in the program (or what's coming next)

To give an example: I...

Got it all working, thanks to your instructions - thanks again!

Then I quickly burned up a 1/2" drill running too fast in 4140. Oh well - at least that's a problem I'm more familiar with how to...

I opened it (the standoffs, like you said), and quickly determined that repairing it is beyond my skill set. I have an eBay pendant ordered and on the way.

Thanks again!

I got nothing on any of the terminals, so I started dismantling to get to the lamp. I give up - how do I get into this thing? I took out all the screws, but it seems like the thing is pressed...

Thanks!

Probably dumb question: how do I reset the "9 - zero set" Z height, after temporarily setting it for the tool height setting? I don't see an option to reset

Lee

Ah, I didn't consider the conversational side

Thanks!

Will do, thanks

I did do that last time around, but it was for "part program zero set" on the jog screen rather than the fixture offset.

If I'm setting the part touch off point in the fixture...

Thanks CNG

I just finished trying that sequence, and it makes sense to me.

Unfortunately, as soon as I started drip feeding my machine rapided to X- and Y- extents until the Y limit switch...

Hi
Thanks very much for that
I'm not seeing any voltage between 2 and 3, or 2 and 5,. No matter how many clicks. Does that mean the handwheel is toast?

Lee

Hi machinehop,

Thanks for the reply. I checked the voltage to the handwheel, and it's getting 4.8v. I'm a little confused about the lightbulb though - this is a handwheel on the control box, not a...

Hi RT,

I think so - what was tripping me up was that (I think) the control doesn't seem to show the absolute position of the tool as you're jogging - only the relative position to the reference...

Hi all,

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around setting my Z offsets for parts and tool lengths in the dynapath control.

If I'm reading the manual correctly, it suggests touching each...

Does anyone have any tips for troubleshooting a handwheel that isn't working?

My Delta 20 has a handwheel on the panel, and while in jog mode, I have the soft button for "select handwheel axis"....

I think I got it figured out. At least, it's all running the way it should as far as I can tell.

When I switched to 220 single phase, I'm now only using 2 of the three poles on the M1 and M2...

Hi all,

I've managed to convert my clausing Kondia FV-1 with Delta 20 control over to 220v single phase input. The control and servos power on, and I can run programs.

For the spindle, I've...

Well, I successfully switched the mill over to single phase input (minus the spindle motor - VFD will be delivered in a few days). I can now switch the control and the servos on without listening to...
