Thanks. I sent the bat signal out to Sportybob.
Thanks brother. Any chance your good with Hitachi vfd parameters?
Bad vfd. Need new HItachi drive. Spindle alignment parts.
Thanks for the help guys. I was able to get it going and finish the part. This machine was using a single tool in the spindle as the changer was jammed when I got it. So if I understand correct, the...
My tool changer carousel will not rotate cw or ccw. Could these tool change inputs be locking out the front panel ? What I mean is, the arm in input shows a 1 when the arm is out. The arm out shows a...
How did the repair go Bob?
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the info. Bob.
No, mine does't do that.
This is what I have so far. What do you think? https://youtu.be/voKrPgyvySU
parameter A039 is for jog deceleration. How did you set that up?
My parameters for the old drive were at 1.5 hz. Do you think I should slow it to 1 hz. As the spindle rotated I could hear a clicking as it rotated. It might have been too fast for it to catch the...
My spindle is spinning slowly ,but not stopping before a tool change. Can some one explain the sequence of operation. I just replaced the spindle vfd with an Hitachi sj700 that I got from another...
Would it be R-22 in the cooling radiator?
Upon power up should the hydraulic pressure gauge show pressure? Total noob.
Hey I have a vm17 and plan to use fusion 360. Do you use fusion 360 with your partner 1?
When I use the hand wheel to jog, it doesn't stop when I stop rotating the wheel. If I go back the other way a few clicks it will stop. Movement on y and z stop when I stop. I just had the x axis...
You could always remove the spindle motor to reduce the height.
I have a 10hp spindle on a vm17. I went with a 20 hp. American Rotary rpc and then I sourced a 20 hp idler motor.
Batteries needed to be charged. Alarm now gone. Citizen New Jersey = awesome.
Do you still need wiring diagram?
Batteries were low from not running. After a 2 hours of idle time the alarm went away. Citizen in N.J. helped me out.
Just powered up a new to me a 1992 Citizen L-16. I am getting an S01 servo alarm on the main control crt. When I look at the back spindle servo drive there is an alarm message of 37. The label on the...
From the manual it states the 37 parameter error check is performed at start up. Has any one had this alarm? Main screen shows servo alarm so1. Thanks Chris.
Tooling is for Citizen L16.
Correction to my earlier post. I will be wiring lathe in an open delta configuration after the rpc.
Ok, so I need 2 240/120 16/32 1kv buck boost transformers, They get installed between the 220 single phase panel and the rpc.
I just got this lathe and am unsure what to purchase to power the required 200v 3 phase. I have a rpc that supplied 230 volt 3 phase. Do I need to purchase 3 buck/boost transformers to drop each leg...
Thanks for the information zzzz. I am going to talk to SportyBob about sbc update.
I got some memory from ebay and installed into card cage. I then used keyboard at the front of the mill and pressed f10 a boot. I'm trying to get the memory to be recognized. I have 3 sticks in the...
I got it! it was a jammed carousel.Thanks guys!
