Has anyone taken the Fanuc MacroB training course? Seen a bunch of online training out there but thought getting it from the horses mouth might be better.

Thanks Beege
I guess we assumed that the control had some sort of embedded code where if it didn't have the proper information it would alarm. Didn't think of the lack of re-direction. We did in...

We are setting up a program in a sub-spindle lathe for parts where some get tapped in one end and some in both. We are using a simple macro where 1= a tap in both ends and 0= not tapping the part in...

Does anyone have know of a machine that would be capable of drilling and tapping in the horizontal position? What we are trying to accomplish is to have a unit that would be capable of drilling and...

Anyone have any experience with long stroke power chucks on a CNC lathe like the LMC?

Was giving the long stroke with the oil motor driven scroll...

Can anyone tell me what was the earliest version of Fanuc for lathes that was Macro B equipped? IS it in the OTC?

Anyone have any feedback on Baileigh milling machines? We are looking for a knee type milling machine for short run work. We had a Tree in the past and loved it, and I know Bridgeports are the one to...

The program is variable loaded so I was trying to simplify and reduce program size. By keeping the sign change on one line of code instead of two, we are able to greatly reduce the size of the...

It's a 21i on a sub-spindle lathe. We are using it to control the depth of a drill at the end of a peck cycle. That's where the - comes in. The positive values used for the sub were no problem for...

We are using Custom Macro B extensively on a CNC lathe. When trying to change the sign of a variable from positive to negative, we seem to only be able to change it using a two line formula. In the...

Anyone have experience with Mighty or their CNC lathes? In particular a VT-23 with subspindle and 21i Fanuc control. We've had the lathe for 3 years and have serious noise coming from the spindle...

It's a 12'. The bar capacity was smaller dia than the machine could take (2" loader- 3" thru on the spindle) and that worked for the money, but now things are different. Hindsight is 20/20

We use Safety Kleen also, and the cost is fairly minimal when you consider gov't regs and the like. However, we recently made the switch to Houghton HoCut coolant. Best I've ever seen as far as...

We have an MTA mag bar feeder on our Puma 2500 LSY. There have been times when we wished the feeder was not there to get at the back of the machine. Has anyone out there constructed a system where...

We had a 12S for many years. It had the FAPT Fanuc control. Initially, there was a major issue with the gearbox. No oil channels to lube the bearings. We got a re-built gearbox and low and behold...

We found a momentary voltage drop off on pin #1 on the drive board, but then it seemed to recover. Machine is now running. We have a meter on it to let us know if there is another voltage drop. There...

It has a Fanuc 3T Model D control

Does anyone have a pdf. copy of the electrical schematics for a Mori SL-2A? I found a ladder diagram but not the schematics.

I don't have any experience with Mazak, but have been working on Daewoo machines for the better part of 20 years. Other than a gearbox problem years ago, and the usual oops from an operator, the...

Yes it is. And it started to work now. We're starting to think that after the electrics warmed up that thermal expansion may have provided contact in a broken line somewhere. We are now letting the...

Need some assistance. We have an old Mori with a Fanuc 3T Model D control.
At power up the spindle would not come up to the speed we set for the morning warm-up. Tried running a program in both...

Has anyone heard of or used a Dalian machining center? A rep recently quoted for us a VDF1800. It's loaded with extras and the price is attractive, but I have no references to attest to the quality...

I have an old Mori SL-2 with a 3T Fanuc control. Powered it up this morning and found that the spindle would only go about 200rpm during warm-up. We had this problem before and it was a fuse. No such...
