My bmc30d faults out anytime we try to change tools to a position more than six positions away. We can go one to six, six to eleven, but then not back to one from there without first going somewhere...

Man was I overcomplicating it...all you have to do is push AUTO and F2 at the same time. Be in the command screen and push cycle start. MrMazak its interesting that worked while Y04 was still set at...

MrMazak you are correct, changing Y04 to 1 enabled me tom bring up the dnc screen. I don't understand the process from there, however. I tried LOAD HOST>NC, it asks for piece number. When loading in...

Thank you Mr Mazak you are always helpful.

Hello,
I am set up to load EIA ISO programs to my M2 control. I push TAPE I/O, it brings up the menu and works fine. I now have a program that is to large for the available memory, I want to run it...

Hello,
We just acquired a Hurco BMC30/D with Delta Dynapath control. Does anyone have PDF of manuals, or anything to download/view, etc.? Also, I see that COM 1 is set for 9 pins. Does a special...

Just as I thought it was something simple: I was putting the S and M3 in the same block as the G01 X-20 F25. Too much for it, I guess, because I tried entering just the S and M3, cycle start to turn...

I enter G01 F10. (and tried F.003 for IPR) and X-45. in MDI, but when I push start it just sits there with the green light on. Am I doing something wrong or is it the machine? Thanks

This is a copy of my correspondence with MrMazak on the issue for any who may benefit

Re: a previous thread on cutter comp M2

I would love to see a sample. Could you also include...

Found it, thanks.

I am using Machine>Profile to cut a contour, but when I push F3 I get the error "Bad Contour, Including Self-Intersection." Do any of you know what this means, and how to resolve it (V21.5.3).
Thanks

I am not sure what you mean. If I'm programming at the machine it asks me (after entering a new work number) if I want to program in eia/iso or mazatrol. I select my choice and move on.
When using...

I got the answer from Mazak Applications: Auto>Restart>Leave seq # blank push input>block # enter N value> enter subprogram if necessary or leave blank and input> start

Do any of you know a way to restart an eia/iso program, only not from the beginning? For instance when running a rougher and finisher, then wanting to only repeat running the finisher. I thought...

My current setting with op2 is 248. The description is 76543210 with corresponding 1 and 0 values (1 for H, 0 for D, etc). I learned that 7 is 128, 6 is half that (64), 5 half that, etc until 0 =...

From what I have found out it may have something to do with a parameter needing to be changed??? Any ideas?

Hello,
I'm using EIA/ISO/ format on M2 controller. I want to offset (G41) my cutter, when I go to the tool offset page and put -.005 it just goes that much deeper with z axis. I see that one cannot...

I'm starting to use CAD CAM on a M2 control. Does anyone know what one should input on the tool data page if the CAM has already generated tool paths for the size of the cutter? On other controls it...

More specifically the air leaks from the "cracks" around the rotating portion of the spindle, directly above where the tool holder would be. With no tool in spindle it leaks the same way.

Hello,
Air is leaking from our spindle, it only occurs once in a while and lasts for only a few seconds (only when machine is on and e-stop is not pushed in). This causes the spindle to stop...

A cutomer has sent me an assembly drawing where he has pieced together individual pieces using solidworks. Can I use bobcad v21 to view the seperate pieces?

Does anyone know the purpose of the rs232 port located on the fx01 board?

Hello,
I had to reinitialize our VQC 20/40 M1, I reentered all the parameters. I know that params CS0... have to do with check sum but I don't know what they should be. For that matter I don't know...

Mazak service will fax you a copy of parameters if you ask them.

Gotcha, thanks.

How do you find single process? I only see single block and restart. Our T32 lathe has a single process button on the control, but I can't find anything on the M2. Thanks

Our Quickturn T32 will sometimes lose its X and Z positions (tool touch offs) only after powering it off and back on. Does anyone know why this could be? I would think that if it was the encoder then...

Also these are on the MACH CONSTANT PAR. NO 1 page forgot to mention that.

I have all my M1 parameters on paper, however I don't have CS0 through CS29. Does anyone know what these should be?

I need to know this too. Also does someone know the parity, baud rate, etc. settings appropriate for loading programs?
