Trying to fix a turret issue, on a new acquisition for us, now another issue that is higher priority as I cannot change parameters if this is not fixed.

In my keyboard apparently the rows that...

Thank you Turbo442. I will check and double check the video looking for useful information.

Good morning to all.

On a recent machine to us (SL40 lathe) the following is happening:

1) When homing the machine, and if the homing process is not concluded in a fast manner, the A axis...

Thanks for the reply.
On the picture you have 2 machining methods, I would choose the 1st.

Hello to all.
This is a simple part made from low carbon steel. It is a piston for a hydraulic ram.
I am trying to make a automatic code generator for this kind of part and I would like to get...

No one?

I have a udrill that I do not know its brand. It came with a machine that I have bought used, and the udrill works fine.
I want to get inserts for it, but it is being a hard task in finding its...

No. In my case they were "surface mount resistors", very small, low power. Those that you are showing are probably for the power circuit.
I believe in my case they were on the control/signal part of...

In my case the error was persistent. The resistor was one of those that are rectangular - I do not know the name of that type. I have replace it with a standard one.

Hello,
In my case it was just a simple resistor that was broken. Since the amplifier served two axis X and Y, I was able to compare both circuits until I found a difference. Looking more carefully I...

:banana:

Now is working. Thank you Mike. Good health.

Ok, drive is working properly but I still have an issue that I cannot pass though.
In defining the spindle speed drive range, we are able to set the gear ratio - Input gear teeth in the menu below....

I would say wine is better than beer here. We are on a very touristic area. Maybe someday you pass by....

Mike you saved my day. Motor had 2 leads swapped!
The amps were about spikes of 100A, then we changed the motors leads .... and celebrate!

Hello to the forum.
I bought a used/old stock Falcon lathe that came with a VFS5 drive for the spindle motor. Model is 275-00

This drive is in the same power bus as the servo drives that are...

Hello,

Were you able to get it? I also need the software to connect also to a VFS5 drive.
Thank you

Hello,

I am working on a new machine where I would like to buy AC servo motors with drives (packages) on the 1 - 1.5Kw range. On the total would be 30 units where 3 units are used for each...

Sorry. It is a Falcon 200

Hello,

I have start hearing a small noise in my headstock. I presume it is lack of lubrication (machine was bought second hand), and I am not sure if the headstock should be filled with...

Thank you for all the replies.
Having the DRO to update with the current offsets was all that I wanted, and it seems (strange to me) that is not possible.

I normally only work with small lathes (max 250mm diameter/10").
Currently I am making my first steps with a SL40 and I am testing several things, including the spindle. This lathe have a massive...

Hello,

This is my first Haas. In this case a SL40 from 2005.
I can offset a tool, run a program, everything fine, but I am unable to see the actual DRO coordinates when jogging, even after...

Hello,

If you want to sell your machine let me know.
Lately we are buying and selling old machines in parts.

No I sold the machine just about when I post this on the forum, and I believe that I never found the digital documentation.
The only documentation that I had were with the machine itself.

I was the last hour inside the machine but it payed off.
I removed the screw and the two nuts disengaged without any ball lost. Thigh them up against each other until the preload is ok. Now is time...

The backlash can be felt by hand so it is too much (one hand in the screw and the other on the nut).
I agreed that is strange that the backlash is almost constant, and I am sure that the support...

Hello. I am trying to repair a large machine 14000 pounds that is in good mechanical condition except the backlash that it presents on the X and Y axis.
The backlash is constant for all the travel...

Hello.

I have a possibility of buying a VSX 330, but I do not know the machine. It is a travel column machine (that I never used before), so I have doubts about it.
Anyone have knowledge about...

Currently I have the plasma table finished with a hypertherm 105.
I would like to know how can I control the amperage of the hypertherm remotely. This way the operator would use a database with the...

Thank you for the reply (once again). I will look about the conversational that I saw it before on the lathe, but never used it. Nice to know that others do all the work on a CNC lathe, although I do...
