I'm looking for some mass finishing equipment and process suggestions. I currently have a 3 cubic foot vibratory and a home built spindle/drag finisher. With plastic media the vibratory is causing...

I've just started playing with simultaneous 5 axis on my Matsuura with Yasnac I80 control (mostly Fanuc commands). It winds the 5th axis up to over 15,000 degrees and then has to unwind all the way...

I've answered my own question. I'm welding with Pandora playing on the computer. It actually pauses playback during HF start and keeps throwing power surge on USB port warnings. I won't risk...

I'm finally comfortable with letting my machine run somewhat unattended and want to work on other stuff in the garage. I'm drip feeding almost 70k lines of code to a Matsuura MC-600VF with...

Due to a lack of responses, I'm going to change my question. Do any of you use this feature? It comes loaded with several newer machines, but I know it doesn't cover everyone.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm testing out the demo of SprutCAM 7. I've found where to put the osd models of my machine. Can someone link me to instructions for setting up the xml and any other files to get my machine...

Mike,
I tried to reply to your PM but your box is full.
Thanks,
Kevin

What I'm looking for is code like this:

G18
G2 X-19.715 Z-6.502 I0.218 J-8.381"

instead of breaking it into lines like this:

G17
G1 X-20.254 Z-6.306
X-20.252 Z-6.308

The error was being caused by a conflict with RhinoCAM. I uninstalled it and the error went away. I also think I figured out how to set the origin and the axes of the rotary tilt. I can't post in...

If I ignore the error and continue on it works. Next question is why is the stock not showing up in the simulation?

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm considering purchasing madCAM and Rhino 3d. I have some questions and have run into my first issue with trying to select my stock. Please check out the video. Let me know if you think it'll...

I figured it out last night. The Amphenol on the encoder was allowing the connectors to slide back. I took the outer shell off and slid them in to place. Problem solved.

Thanks for the reply,...

I'm having the same problem intermittently with my Matsuura MC-600vf. Did you have the card repaired or find the what was causing the problem? I don't have any spares.

Thanks,
Kevin

These are instructions on how to install a memory upgrade but it also has the info you need:

I think you...

I don't see a way to reset all the parameters, but I think a fresh upload will take care of that.

Kevin

The pass code is only for the options table. You can DNC or use hyperterminal to upload your settings and parameters. I'm at work so I can't look at my machine right now. I'll check when I get...

I don't know how to initialize the card. Yaskawa did it so I haven't done any research on it. They offer world wide support.

The repair ticket stated that the data on the FC200 (parameters, settings, options) was corrupted due to the bad capacitor and from being disconnected from the battery. They reinitialized the card...

I'm assuming it's an i80m controller.

I have found all the Yasnac manuals online but not the one for the machine. Three phase comes in and goes to Terminal Block (TB1) in the bottom right of the power distribution rack. From back to...

Yes I did. I sent the entire rack in for repair. They replaced a capacitor, repaired a PCB and replaced a couple ic's.

Have you removed the FC200 board from the rack? If it's main cap is bad it...

Roller pumps are similar to rotary vane but use rollers. I think this reduces friction and makes them more tolerant of particulates. The one I have is a 6 roller. I got it from Tractor Supply for...

I have a Matsuura MC-600VF that I'm running mineral oil based flood coolant. The machine is in my garage and I don't want to deal with a water based emulsion right now. The machine's centrifugal...

I think I figured it out. Switched to tape. Hit start. Started sending with DNC. When the buffer filled, it stopped sending and waited for ready signal from the Yasnac. I'll post if I have any...

I need help drip feeding to a Yasnac I80. I've tried out some demo DNC programs. So far they all seem to be very similar. I can send and receive programs and parameters with all the programs and...

I got the repair quote back. It's $3254. I'm probably going to have it repaired. Hopefully it'll work when I get it back.

The garage is only 26 X 28. I have the Matsuura, a BP, A Syncrowave 350, a foundry, a compressor, three cars, and all the other crap you'd expect to find in a normal car nut's garage. Somehow it's...

Wes,
That's the kind of info I needed. I just have this machine in my garage at home but I intend on producing parts on it. It was working when I bought it but something has gone wrong in the...

The machine manuals included schematics and these are what I've found online:

Servo Drives:

Spindle: ...

They most definately will charge more than it costs to fix. I have a BP and a home built router running Mach 3, but this is an entirely different animal. I'm pretty confident I can get the servo...
