I'm having a hell of a time getting this machine working again.. The machine was given to us and worked for a while but there is a mess of wires (all black, green and 4 or 5 white) and I don't know...

I have the 2 axis post, I was wondering if anyone has had luck adding the z axis moves back into the post and use it for mx3 files?

If so, could you point me in the right direction for making the...

I have the generic fanuc Gcode post which will work (I'll make it work if it doesn't) but it would be really handy to have it converted to actual prototrak events..

Any help would be...

Obi-Wan-Steryd, you may be my only hope! ;-) (though hopefully someone else could help as well)

I have tried cleaning everything I can see and think of, replaced any wire / connection that even...

Awsome! Pics helped a bunch.. I found the one on the PSU but didn't realize the black box on the door was also batters... Thanks! If you're in Arizona US I'll buy ya some beer or the recently...

It turns out I had missed a fuse on the main power supply.. 5a fuse I had to order from back east.. If you hadn't mentioned the 24v thing Steryd I probably wouldn't have double checked the fuses for...

Thank you Steryd, I'll check it out and if thats it I'll let you (and the forum) know.

Nope.. the operator panel has zero power at all.. In fact it just dawned on me to see what I could find about if the operator panel has no power... The magnetic switches on the magnet board aren't...

The other day when cleaning a long neglected float in the work tank, the wires to the float broke, and when attempting to solder the wires back together and an idiot with his head waaaaay up his ass...

I know this is a (more or less) ancient thread but i could REALLY use the user manuals for a A04B w/ 16w control. most of them came with the machine except the main user manual... it sucks trying to...

Thanks for the help Steryd, I'm not sure what was (and probably still is) going on, but the machine decided to cooperate again and is working... Gunna keep digging but got to make parts :-)

Yeah, I tried that as well. Same thing..

No one else? Still haven't been able to make progress on this problem.. Suggestions from Methods Machine hasn't helped either.. :-(

It's 4140.. It looks like that from the wire work I was able to do before this issue came up.. I've cleaned up the edges I'm trying to pick up (with a dremel).. The guys who made the part on the...

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Our robocut suddenly decided it didn't want to pick up edges correctly, moving well past the edge I want to pick up (actually center of a hole)...

I don't mean from the OEM (like Fanuc with their 120 day delivery) but from one of the many places that claim to have the manuals. In my case I have a fanuc robocut 1b. Yesterday I had to pay a tech...

Could anyone tell me what it means when my Robocut Alpha-1B w/ 16-W Control says "B-Stop" sometimes after I hit cycle start?

Also, if I put it in MDI and do a basic move with 4 conditions on it...

I wish lowering the servo voltage worked, it did not though. I'll see if I can make a video or something.. a few times now I've been able to hold cycle start down or hit some combination of buttons...

I'm not entirely sure of that either.. With machine lock on it does it's thing, the volt meter moves up, testing with a multimeter shows a lot of DC volts but if I flip the switch to amps it goes to...

I don't think the wire itself is getting power... tracing the wires back to the PCG board behind a panel in the side of the main box, I'm not sure if that is getting power either but I imagine it...

Thanks for the reply..

I'm starting to think I have something wired wrong or am missing something more than the run sequence.. When I ran a FX-10, if the power feed (brainfarting on what they are...

I recently bought a Robocut wire edm, it had most of the manuals, except of course the user manual (which I ordered but has a 125 day delivery time). Unfortunately I don't have four months to wait...

Steryd: Did you have any luck finding the manuals? I recently did the same thing (revitalized a A04B w/ 16w control). Ordered the manuals which is a 126 day delivery (wtf!) with no digital versions...
