Hi!

I'm considering Linux CNC over Centroid OAK for my VMC retrofit/upgrade.

I need several inputs (tool changer and I want hardkeys for most common functions), and some outputs for PLC...

Thanks for your input Metzenw!

The controller and machine is in perfect working order, and running good.

The problem is, I'm a 21 century guy, with an urge to operate a very sturdy peice of...

Hi Guys!
I see this thread has been dead for about a year now.
But hopefully I can ask a quick question here, as the author seems to know a bit about these fanuc spindle drives.

I want to...

Hi!
My DahLih MCV-610 has this tool change macro:

Hi!
Newbie here, still learning my Fanuc 0-M controller.

I'm trying a test G-code to do too changes and tool length offset.
The post is done in Fusion 360.

Tool changes works perfectly in MDI...

Thanks Al! Perfect! Wasn't able to open on the phone, but will try on my computer.

Hi!

Does anyone have a step by step list of how to backup NC parameters of my controller?

What about PLC ladder?

Thanks for your input Jim! Will def check it out!

I'm travelling for work, and after work, my head starts making plans for the cnc at home :p

Ok!

If I'm going down that route, only the ATC will be the biggest challenge then.

Does dmm or delta have something bolt on?

Hi!
I have a mill (from 1991) with fanuc 0-m control and red cap servos.
I'm playing with the idea of installing some newer control hardware and software. Really like the Centroid system.

I...

Ok, so basically you would define it as a waste of time? If i let go of the wish to machine steel parts, will it still be waste, and would a gantry type table be better?

As you see from the location of the rails/bearing blocks and the illustration of the work area, the Y-axis is in the inmost position now, will not move any closer to the colomn, only 400mm travel...

The red box is an illustration of the work area.

Z-axis is not finished planning wise, I just want to have 250mm of vertical travel, is all i know for now.

Hi!I'm dreaming of my own CNC machine, stable and accurate enough to also work with steel.I've understood that a solid gantry type machine will be the best way to go for most accuracy and stability...
