Just interfaced a different bar feed to my lathe, and have no experience programming this type. Lathe is a Doosan Lynx 220 LMSA, and the barfeed is an Iemca Vip80-E. Does anyone have some sample...

Need help re-establishing zero position for X, Y and Z axes. Machine was fine until I tried to change parameter to change machine from metric system to inch (#1016). I powered down, then up and got...

I'm back in business... keeping the old long spacers from the previous cover was the trick. Without the spacers, the new accordion style cover binds up. Thanks!

Bought a new one for the machine and see that the configuration is totally different than the original. Anyone have installation instructions for the new style covers?

Never programmed one before... Need to program a 3/8-16 2-start, and 4-start (for engagement comparison) external thread using G76. Can someone give me a block of code? Thanks!

Checked the contactor for the hyd pump... it wasnt tripped, but when I manually slid the mechanism over (it has an "on/off" position switch), it held and the pump is now on. Weird... I think the...

I have a Miyano BND34S that will not power up the hydraulic pump when the machine come online. Machine is "ready", and the axis' can be zeroed out. Diagnostics show an alarm in 300 bit 1. Any ideas...

I am currently looking for an I/O board for an 18TA control. Who, in your experience has been found to be the lowest priced supplier? There are a million out there, someone has to be cheapest! ...

How bad was the repair bill? I think I'm going to be in the same boat soon...

Had some sort of overload this morning which appears to have fried a resistor on the inverter. The resistor in question is behind the main circuit board of the inverter (white, rectangular shape w/...

LED's on main board do NOT come on when power is supplied at breaker (only come on when the power on button is pressed). The only LED that comes on is the single green light on the power supply...

Controller will not power up, therefore no CRT display. Power supply is on with no alarms, but on the main board LED's the top row is green in all 4 banks with 1 red light in the second bank of the...

Machine is a TMC-20, 2 axis turning center. I have the parameter sheets now, but some of the 9900 - 9961 parameters (options) are not readable. Am having trouble getting the missing parameters from...

Anyone have parameters this control? Also, need the procedures for entering them by hand if possible. Thanks!

Sorry, should have specified this was a lathe program.

Having trouble getting this cycle to run, machine keeps giving me a "#10 bad g code) error. Anybody see any problems here?

My tool block:

Am trying to set up a connection, but am having trouble figuring out what baud rate, stop bits, etc. are set on machine. Can anyone tell me where to look, and what the settings should be?

Wish it was as simple as the E-stop button being depressed! I checked that, and the axes do not appear to be at limit. My book said to push and hold Machine End Release to override this if it were...

When turning power on, all we get on the screen is "Slave Ready Wait (PMC)" and "Not Ready". No alarm lights on panel, and machine ready lamp is not lit. Also, I have no ability to get into...

You should be able to lock the spindle in any number of increments using M13 instead of M19 (if your machine has spindle indexing feature). An example for my machine that works is M13 S12 (for 90...

Having a hard time trying to program a Fanuc OT lathe to produce this thread. I'm not sure of the data inputs for G76 cycle. Can someone post a block of code to help me out?

Thanks!

Anyone have trouble with the quick code thread mill generator? I am trying to generate a 1"-11.5 NPT thread, and the code that I get from the control does not work (2002 VF-2). The path is too...

The machine is a 2001. The symptom is definitely an intermittent beep, with the spindle load meter spiking along with the beeps. Haas thinks it may be a low voltage power supply?

So I go to power up the machine this morning, and all I get from the control is a steady beep. Checked incoming power and all seems fine. Could there be a blown fuse in the machine somewhere, or is...

Nakamura TMC-20II, Fanuc 18-T control. Collet chuck will not open, but no alarms are present at the control. Hydraulic pressure is good. Wondering if it may be a solenoid, or foot pedal problem?
...

Can someone help me with programming 1/4 npt external using G76 (fanuc O-T). I do not know what values to put in for the thread dimensions. Thanks!

Situation resolved! Took out motor and took apart the female power plug on the motor. Had some corrosion on the wires that was causing a short. Ordered the plug from Fanuc for $11.00, soldered it...

Unfortunately, I am without the servo manual. Diagnostic parameter 721 (z-axis) reads HCAL (abnormal current).

Have a z-axis servo alarm that I need help troubleshooting. I have gone through the steps in the manual to try to figure this out but want another opinion before I break down and call in the troops!...

Probably not the most appropriate forum for this request, but we'll try anyway... I'm looking for a used slotting live-toolholder for a Miyano BND-34S. Anybody with an extra, please contact me. ...
