Hello, As I mentioned before I am not familiar with Hardinge machines but maybe I can point you in the right direction. First, what kind of control do you have on your machine? Fanuc? Second is...

Hello, Recently, I have been moved to a different area that has some EDM machines. I am more use to working on chip making machines. EDM's are kinda new to me.
I have been out on a couple of...

Hello. Do you have the same set-up as shown in the picture? One motor looks like an AC Motor ( the blue one) and the other one is the black one ( with the eagle flying). The black one is either a...

Ryan, you say that you have schematics/ prints for the machine. Can you post them? Maybe we can see something that will help you locate your overload. Something like wire numbers, device numbers or...

I went to that GE site but I guess the job has been filled or the time deadline must be earlier in the day. FanFan

Jacala, Hello. Nice video. Hopefully Jack can posts a video of how to do the alignment. It should be very helpful. I would follow the laser beam as it come out of the laser. Look where the...

Hello, I am curious. When you say vertical slide, you are talking about a slide that goes up and down, correct. Not one that goes left and right or in and out? Also when you are trying to the...

Greg B, I meant to ask you a question about your machine in my last post. On your machine does anything work if the hyd. is not on? Such as coolant on or chip conveyor or something else that does...

Temo, Would you consider calling in the first tech back in? You said that he was a pretty good tech. He probably should have been able to address the no video display but he might be stronger on...

Hello, There seems to be a lot of trades that aren't seeing the younger people entering. There are probably a lot of reasons. Lack of interest, lack of exposure and also a lack of entry level...

Temo, That screen shot that you posted is very interesting. By any chance do you have any other pages of similar info? If you do please post them. The page that you posted looks like an input...

Al, Hello. Back up's are usually not thought about until when some or all one's software is lost or corrupted. To figure out what software and at what revision one has can at times be very...

Temo, Were you ever able to contact the company that sold you the new hard drive? Do you still have the old hard drive? Software can be a tricky thing to deal with. Are you sure that you new hard...

Hello Robert, I don't know any specifics about your machine. So I can't tell you anything specific only things in general, but from the info that you have given there are several things that you...

Temo, It can be a bit overwhelming but I have to say that I think that you you are doing quite well all things considering. Hang in there.

You know the prints that you have being posting. In...

Hello, I google a couple of things. One was " Hawk 150 Arrow" , that one lead me to this CNCZone's site for Cinncinati archives. You might want to go thru some of those posts. The other thing...

Temo, Nice photo's and I like the way you showed the different states of the leds. It is useful for information.

I know some things about software but I am definitely not an expert. I just know...

So has anyone seen where M3 coil is on the prints? It should be coming from the CNC control ( the Siemens Acramatic 2100). Perhaps via an output interface board or device.

PAL or ladder logic...

Temo, Hello. On the print ( lets call it Print #1) that shows ( CB3 , M3 and the HYD Motor) is basically telling us that if M3 coil is picked up then the HYD motor ( MOT3) should turn on.

So the...

Temo, How is it going today? So the HYD motor is not turning at all. Did you get a chance to listen/watch the M contactors in the cabinet? Are any of the them trying to pick up at all? Also...

Hello, Thanks for the photo's.

52 volts doesn't sound like the norm. Just so we are on the same page. Are you using a digital meter and are you on the AC volt range ( not DC range) when you...

Temo. Hello. It is your topic and of course you can change the title of the topic. Just as long the software allows you to. I have to make a correction. In your photo of the contactors. They are...

Temo, I like your photo and the info that you supplied. It is interesting that you talk about M3. That blue tab that is being pulled in, is being told by something to pull in, pick up or one can...

Hi. I aked if the machine was down for a long in part to see if it was in storage or if had been shipped from somewhere and the HYD fluid tank was empty, drained or low. If you don't have fluid...

Hello. Temo, were you able to find some electric prints for your machine? I had worked with some Cinncinati Milacron lathes, chuckers and CDL"s about 12-15 years ago. But they had A/B controls on...

Temo, When you go to start the machine ( try to take it out of an estop condition) can you hear anything? Such as any motors/ pumps trying to turn or any relays/contactors trying to pull in. Is...

Hi Al, Doesn't sound like that is this point Temo's machine is looking for the hydraulics to started? He goes to start the hydaulics and it probably tries to start but does not make his N.O. open...

On a three phrase motor usually there is a motor nameplate. That should give you some basic electrical info. What is the rating of the time delay fuse that keeps tripping? Also normally each...
