8 years later! Bought a used vf2 in 2018. It started showing simular issues. It would alarm on the tool changer retract. The right side limit switch is accessible when changer was retracted. I...

We had to get the pitch error through the machine tool builder and Fanuc installed it. If I remember correctly it was around $1500.00

Interesting....If we did not us carbide to peck drill we would not drill! I understand it can cause problems but you just have to work around them. You don't want the drill to rapid in on top of a...

We have had a CNC sitting for awile and went to use it and it alarmed with low batteries. We replaced the batteries and had to also home the turret.:mad: All appeared Ok until we got the mentioned TV...

Most posts die and we never learn what or if there is a fix. It appears most lathes do not have pitch error comp enabled. Most mills do. Our new machine had a pitch error we were fighting and we...

I have a machine with a 21i TB controller. We bought it new and discovered it would not turn diameters correctly. If you programmed it to turn a .5, then a .75, 2" and so on the error would show up...

Check the cable.......Or better yet get as new one.

I went to the sight and see no options for handles. The stepper for the Y axis in mounted in the back of the machine.

Jeff,
My dad bought one and it had a problem with breaking the flexable coupling that connected the stepper to the screw. When the second one broke I went and looked it over. We put an indicator on...

This may be the wrong thread but let’s give it a whirl! Years ago I acquire a IC memory box made by Tactc co. Ltd. of Japan called a KOALA 50. It allowed me to download to the box from a Fanuc type...

Hmmmm? My dad is 81 years old very non digital and decided he wanted to have some fun and get a CNC. I am a programmer 500 miles away from him and helped him pick a brand, I quized Smithy and was...

Cimco edit here also. Has a nice little tool path option with it. Good translate and other handy features.

I am looking for a turn key bench top engraver or mill (X14" x Y8" x Z3" travel?)for engraving text in small 1" dia. ceramic(green) discs. I am experienced with G code and already have software to...

I had to load the program in a newer controller to see if it really worked. My controller doesn't like the "," in the line. alarms 053 I think it was "to many charactures in line"?! I found the...

HMMMMM...our Fanucs won't use cutter comp in a canned cycle.

I see a couple of issues, Don't forget the tool type settings and tool radius in the geometry screen. It may be a tad longer but you...

We have several TW-30's that have the same problem....have you figured out how to resolve the problem?

I hate to butt in here or hijack this thread....But I have a new Takasawa E-110 with a 21I TB controller. It it is acting like there is an issue with the pitch error on the X&Z. I machined a test...
