I'm trying to help a fellow small shop owner get his Brother HS-350 back up and running. Fired machine up last week and had a "FET" error. Did a little digging and found that the 5V power supply on...

Here ya go

We rebuilt the entire tool changer and all is good. We believe the biggest contributor was the Belleville washers in the clamping mechanism. Tested them with a load cell on an arbor press and they...

We are having an issue with inconsistent clamping of the tools in the our Mazak Slant Turn 30 ATC/MC. We tried the obvious of making sure there were no chips behind the tool. It seems to be worse on...

If you'd like I can send you the parameters for a Quick Slant 20 with a T4.

Need to know the secret to getting the M codes to operate the chuck to work on a T3 control. On our t4 we had to change a couple hidden parameters to get it to work , but we can't find any parameters...

Hi All. Lookin to add a air blow controlled by a M code to a VMC1000 with a TNC370 control. Found that M50, Alt Coolant, is the only code available that does not require a M Verify. Found that M50...

to the guy that keeps sending me private messages regarding this issue. We replaced the cooling fans and tightened a few connections and the problem is gone fo now. If your going to send private...

No I don't have a SE-101 card to swap out. Looking for one though. I'm thinking about replacing the main capacitors first, while looking for a SE-101. This is a 26K model. Do you know what other...

Yes. Those are the LED's lit when the alarm occurs.

While sitting idel with servo power on the Freqrol spindle controller will occasionally give us an "Over Voltage" error. The spindle runs fine, but if you let it sit for a half hour or so it will...

The 16" Autoblock chuck on our Mazak ATC30 is not ideal for the work we do, which is typically under 2". We would like to replace it with an 8" or 10" chuck but don't know exactly what's involved. We...

Hidden parameters can be accessed when you go into the "Parameters" page, hit soft key #7 and then "1131" Input - the area above soft key #7 becomes a magenta color. You can now page to the hidden...

This one is solved. As suspected the FX53cards were transposed in their slots. Since the cards have address jumpers the inputs wired to one card were being reported to the Input status for the other...

Got a new to me Slant 30 ATC/MC that is displaying 15 alarms. At the top of the list is the E-Stop then 4 overtravel alarms, followed by 200 to 205. The machine had been sitting for 4 years so we...

I did this on a VMC 1000. The misc. M Codes were all output on the "M User" socket on the distribution board. The IO was direct from the Heidenhain controlled, so to be safe I built a opto-isolated...

TNC Remote is the software we use to communicate with TNC 370. It's available for download and works great.

Thank for the info on the encoder and I thank you for the offer on the new control. The 370 suits my business fine and if I could do anything it would be to replace the 611 drives.

Thanks Gus. I have a MT30U$ with a ERO115 encoder. Now I need to determine if the encoder is compatiable with the TNC370.

Had the same problem VMC1000. The screen in the swarf tank would get dirty and the coolant in the sump area didn't stay full with the pump running. This would create a vortex in the coolant inducing...

Am I right in that the servos used in Interact machines with the Bosch Z15 drives, were the SEM MT30 series ????????? If so, I just happen to have a couple laying around tha have Heid encoders on...

I been trying to find the answer to your question for about 2 years. Where I'm at is changing the motor on one of my tables. The problem is that only my 4th has the Bosch drive, rest are Siemens, so...

The X, Y and Z drives are Siemens 611 and they all have Siemens servos The 4th has a Bosch Z15.

I have a Tsudakoma Table that I could change the motor on, but I need some specifics on what motor...

Only have a photo of the connector coming from the table, not a connector for the motor. The table is a BP RT-963. I've attached a photo of the motor plate as well. Thanks

Found a newer BP table with a Seimens Motor 1FT5046 - Will tis work with a Bosch Z15 drive? The machine has a Heid TNC370 which the encoder connects to. Can we mount an outboard encoder on this motor?

We are trying to connect a bar feeder to our Mazatrol T4. We don'T have the normal M68 & M69 we want to use the M55 parts count for the bar change, but can't get it to work. The program just hangs...

Thanks gridley51 that's some good Information. I had a service guy for another product take a look at it and he tells me the module that the magic smoke escaped from is the 6Sn1121 which mounts...

No actually I have two of them. You are right if we don't shut them down when a thderstorm rolls through, there goes another ER module.

I have been all over ebay and the web and can't find that...

Need some help in finding a replacemnt for a Siemens 6SN1135-1BA12-0DA0 spindle drive. It seems as though this model is hard to come by. Is there another Siemens drive that is a replacement or could...

Don't know if they are the same but on our VMC 1000s the orient is detected by a belt driven encoder. The same encoder provides RPM info to the control.

Are you saying that it don't orient at all...
