Hi all, I have an old Mori SL-1 with a Yasnac 2000GII control. The CRT screen has been going out for years and is finally un-readable. I thought it was the monitor and recently bought a replacement....

Hi All.

I've got a Z-Axis motor overheat code on a cold machine that i just turned on this morning. temps in the shop get pretty low during the winter at night and on weekends when we're shut...

I'd love to see a close up of what the 20W fiber laser looks like on such a small text. I mean Brian's text was less than 1/10" high so he really zoomed in on that pic. I'm having a hard time...

Yup, pretty much exactly my situation. I just need something good enough to give me clean engraving on anodized aluminum. It's got to look nice but that's about it. Most of the video's and reviews of...

What's the cost on something like that?

Hi all,

I have a small CNC machine shop and do mostly anodized aluminum work. For the parts that get engraved I've been engraving them on my mill which works but seems to be a waste of time and...

Thanks, I couldn't figure out the doc but I kept looking around in the pendant and finally saw the empty relay holes in that small board. Someone must have needed the relay in the past and left it...

I tried replacing just the light bulb but no dice. I just didn't know if someone knew if there was a fuse or relay associated with it.

Ended up using this 12" one ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6B5EA5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). fit's just fine. I suppose a guy could probably jam a 13-14" one in there but...

Hi all, simple question really. Do you guys know if there's a fuse or relay for the beacon light on a VMC40? Mine's not working, I doubt there's a switch or setting for it so figure probably just a...

Just want to update. It worked perfectly and was basically completely plug and play. All i needed to do was remove the old monitor. Mount the new one and plug it in. The power was the only thing i...

Awesome, I took a chance and ordered the monitor so I'd have it to install over the weekend so I'm glad to hear that. Gonna replace a resolver on the Z-axis of my Fadal so figured why not upgrade the...

Bringing this back from the dead. Anyone try using a CCTV LCD monitor that already has the BNC input? I'm looking to go that route but didn't know if there was some difference between using a BNC to...

Just a quick follow up. Was gonna delete but figured better to leave it up incase someone else has the same problem. I had cold started the machine after the crash so i didn't think that was the...

Hi all, power went out and the machine thought it had T2 in the spindle (even thought it had T3) . Operator didn't notice and went to change tools and machine jammed the tool changer into the spindle...

Bummer Mike, couldn't find his copy of Assist. Does anyone else have one?

Mike, i just got on here looking for the same program. I need to connect to my VMC40 with an old Win2000 laptop and the new NCfadal won't work. Could i get a copy of that old DOS assist as well? I...

Anyone know what type of inserts these are? It's an old boring bar. My dad says he believes it is an "RB" branded boring bar. 240826240828

First of all thanks so much for the help.

Here's a pic of which connectors i think you're talking about. I just wanted to make sure before i test to make sure i don't screw something else up.
...

CPS-15 by what i can tell.

it's from the early 80's and has a yasnac control. I'm pretty new to machine repair and maintenance, are there companies out there that repair the power supplies? is it a take out and ship kinda...

i guess just bumping this up. Never fixed the problem. stopped using the machine for a few months. Back on it and error came right back. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I just started getting this error. The machine stops and screen goes blank except for the message "CRT MEMORY COLLATING ERROR 6782". I can't do anything but shut down the machine and reboot. It...

Well i manually lifted the plunger a few times last time i used the machine and it dropped back down in under 5min everytime. That means the oil's going somewhere right?

I noticed it but figured you were having the same issue and at the time were 4 beers into the test... :D

Good to know, i didn't have a clue how the lube oil or all those plastic tubes would do in the cold. I'm a bit paranoid since the closest HAAS rep is 6 hours away!

Thanks Mike. We're from southern CA and when we closed down our aerospace shop we moved up to northern WA in the hills and set up a nice little job shop. We've never had experience with below...

Hmm, if i'm sitting staring at a pump for 30min i think it's gonna take the whole 6pack to keep me from getting bored. :D

Yeah I don't use it much, I'm thinking of maybe programming the spindle...

Hi all, i know this is an old thread but since it was a similar topic.

I have a VF-4 2009 that the lube oil doesn't seem to be being used up. I get zero oil coming out the back collector bucket....

Both, it's a zigzag cut so it cuts climb and conventional every other stepover. We basically rough it out leaving .010" for the finishing pass. The .010" finishing pass leaves a terrible finish so we...
