Hi All,
Does anyone know how to Activate Outputs 4, 5, and 6 in Mach 3? Also do you know the hotkeys for each output? I found the OEM Codes.

Dave1,
I know this is an old thread, and is about phase converters, but I have a problem with an Emco compact 6 running on a phase converter. I originally tried to run the lathe on a 10hp rpc cnc...

Al,
Why would you replace the aluminum coupling? The coupling appears to be a 6 beam ROCOM coupling which is every bit as strong as a single beam stainless Helical coupling of the same size. It also...

Typo 8 threads per inch = 0.125" pitch

Hi,
Are you sure it is not an English thread like 1 1/16-8? It's pretty close, 1 1/16" = 1.0625", 26.67mm = 1.049997". 8 threads per inch = 0.124" pitch, 3mm = .1181099".
Not likely, but very...

Does anyone understand the M1 spindle acceleration parameter? Does a higher value mean faster or slower acceleration? Is the parameter in units per second or something like that?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the reply Rene,

Hi all,
I have a 1978 Pratt & Whitney Turnmate with a Fanuc 5T control. I would like to upgrade it to a 6T. How much of the 6t stuff would I need?

Dennis is right, Also, sometimes the pulley is worn out where the wheel (bearing) locks in. This is usually caused by running the air pressure too high.

Hi Neal,
I was hoping that you would post a reply. No, there is no J12. There is a 12 pin molex connector (J3), 2 ribbon cables, and a small connector that I believe supplys power to the board.
