anyone know of good reasonable independent Sodick repair techs in the Illinois Indiana area?? We are in central Illinois at the Indiana line. Cant afford factory Sodick guys from Chicago

anyone have wiring schematics for a Sodick A320D. Tech department at Sodick wants 500 bucks to "register" my used machine to talk to me......Glad my Haas and Fadal guys are not that way. Great...

I bought a used A320D that was from a running shop who had 8 Sodicks. I got everything hooked up but the flushing and the high pressure flush only kicks on long enough to make a spurt and thats it,...

What year on the VMC's did Haas go to brushless motors?? I understand that they are more to maintain,

Been there done that with rotary converters, if your running manual machines they do the job. I tried to run a 20hp unit on my first Fadal and kept having issues with the spindle drive. I eventually...

Got an older 1995 VF2 need to make up serial cable but cant seem to find the pin out for 9 pin at pC to Db25 at CNC. Has Floppy but I can only get it to read the dir list but cant seem to pull files...

mike i think I had tried that and it did not move maybe I am missing something. how about an example, maybe I missed something in the coding.

Thanks,

Ok i have several large bushings made of 52100, I need to single point broach 6 longitudinal grease grooves in each one. My question is I don't want to hand crank them in on a manual lathe, can I...

Good luck getting any Dow Frost I have been given the runaround for aover a year by Fadal on it they replaced a y axis seal unit that was leaking. the tech put lines together and ordered the part. He...

We have a 2005 VMC4020 Fadal with Fanuc 18i Mb5 control, I cut mild steels tool steels, alum, copper, bronze. We use a 4" face mill and up to 1.25 roughers all the time. Performance is great have had...

Not questioning but trying to understand !!

Why did you make the +.005 inc move after touch.

After backing up inc -.100, why inc move another -.010. would it have not been the same as a -.110...

Good point about what the skip capture was and not the actual axis position! I had just read about always include a g31 on the line when positioning a probe. I have Marposs macro part check software....

Hooked up momentary push button to verify if I could stop axis after g31, and it works every time!!!

I then looked up the Probe 1 N/O SSR contact on the wiring diagram from Marposs and hooked it...

Well I changed the 6200 para bit 6 to on, that did infact let it now execute the g31 g91 x1.0 f5.0.

So I hooked up the two wires from the Marposs interface card to HD10 channel, executed the same...

Inputting on the JA40 connector which goes to a terminal block on the Fadal TB2, which I am going to use Channel HD10. I'll change that para after this cycle ends on the machine and see what...

Sorry Al, :eek:

the skip did not work but it did read thru.

I did not change the 6200 para as of yet.

Thanks,
XYZ

Input:

g31 g91 x1.0 f5.0
y1.0 f10.0

It read thru and made the "Y" move. :cool:
XYZ

6200 is 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0

6201 is 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

There is no next line I was simply punching in the G31 g91 x1.0 f 5.0 on one line. If I reached out and touched the probe it should halt the X...

I went down the list from 6200-6220 channel HD0 is the one I would use and is active. I have unhooked the interface and the machine still wont execute the G31 G91 X1.0 F5.0, it moves about .002 and...

I noticed that regardless of the x or y value the axis only moves like .0026 when I send the G31. Pulled the power off the interface board and tried the G31 with same results. I dont get an error...

Installing a touch probe on our 4020. Cant seem to get any clear answers on if there is a "M" code to "turn the probe on or not. I have high speed skip and also custom macro options enabled. The JA40...

Same here totally Bison on Cat40 holders nothing wrong with them at all.

Anyone got a post for Fanuc 18i that works with Gibbs?

Anyone using Gibbs Cam with a Fanuc 18i MB5 controller on a Fadal VMC???

Yes I have read thru the post. Very little details were given.

If there are dangerous issues why would someone want to keep that under wraps. I would like to think a decent person would want to...

I was curious of any who have taken delivery of a new or rebuilt Fadal with the 104d.

1) What problem issues have you had?
2) What has Fadal done about it?
3) Do you intend on keeping the...
