We have two Akari Seiki horizontal mills that have a PITA door interlock. It cannot be completely bypassed. The control has the standard door open button, but with the door open you cannot move the...

drdos,

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it.

One of our VTL's has an inching mode for the chuck that's broken. It's a simple SPST momentary contact switch. My problem is that the operators never mentioned this to me until after the switch fell...

Our Okuma VTL has the above controller and I believe it has macro-b because it executes #101=1 without an alarm. The problem is I cannot find the variables page on the control. It's not where it...

I've got the manual with the parameter list, which is why I've been working with the 6000 parameters as they seem to be the ones that closely describe the problems I'm trying to fix. I just cannot...

We've got an Okuma Howa Act3 with a 10T control here at work that hasn't been run in a couple years. Had to replace the mainboard, and seeing as I didn't have a copy of the parameters I had the...

For drilling Ti 6-4 we use Iscars Sumocham drills with good results for holes under 3/4", on bigger holes we use Ingersolls Quad Drill line of inserted drill in the IN 2005 grade. For turning/ boring...

It took me a while to do the same thing. You cannot use a name for the subprogram, and Fanuc controls do not read the inside of a file to get the O word like it will if the subprogram is in the...

I have a part that going to run on our Okuma horizontal mill with a 16i-MA control, that is over 220,000 bytes in size. The control can only store approx. 100,000 bytes so you can see my problem. The...

Forgot I had started this post. I almost started a similar topic. Its a horizontal mill. I still haven't figured this out.

I'm looking to buy a graphing calculator that I can program temperature comp. into. A lot of the guys I work with use the Ti-83/84 calculators that have this formula (the shop supplies this formula...

Sorry 'bout that, it has a Fanuc 16i control.

I've got the said machine and I'm looking to see which keep relay controls the alarm for an "EX514", which is the "Select T-No. in spindle"? It basically means that "The tool your trying to call is...

Our machine vendor told us we need a software upgrade to get "Tool Offset Memory C" (separate fields for tool length and diameter), when it is actually controlled by a 9900 parameter. Does this...

Figured out which parameter controls the macrob programming and it is turned off on the Enshu, but is turned on on our Okuma. I am able to turn it off on the Okuma, so I did that today and the G100...

If the machine's running our policy is to not interface with the control, plus I don't like to disturb the operator, and change their routine/habits ( I hated that when I used to run machines). There...

The machine is an '06, but we just got it a couple weeks ago. So the control is only a couple years old. The machine is up and running right now so I can't check the 9900's, but when I was looking...

Easiest way to solve this that we found, was that when the foreman comes in in the morning (he's usually here a half hour before everyone else) he turns the machines on and runs our warm-up program...

First thing, when you swapped the spindle drive motor, did you re-calibrate it. Not sure it thats the right term, but several years ago we had to replace a spindle on one of our Fadals, and they had...

On a lot of the mills I have run they use a G8/G9 which is a ramping function. What this does is slow the cutter down going into an intersection, and then speed cutter back up moving away from the...

Sorry for not replying sooner guys. For some reason after I posted my question, the site said my account needed to be activated and it wouldn't let me do anything. Seems fine now. My boss said we...

Yup, thats what I tried stevo1. Every time I cycled a G100 I get a "010 improper g code" message. Our Okuma with a 16i control runs it no problem. If we call up that prg and run it in auto, the prg....

Been trying to creata a small macro program for our small horizontal mill to send the machine to its APC position and execute a pallet shuttle. The machine is a Jenso with an 18iMB control. I want it...
