Looking at this one : Hurco 4th Axis CNC Indexer | eBay

If I can be of any help, let me know. I have some of the manuals on pdf, and I have drawings for several different adapter plates that I currently use.

Cheers,

The backlash can be adjusted on these things, I think it is a 5 or 6mm hex to the left of the centerline of x or y axis leadscrew. Do yourself a favor and toss out the motors, controller and...

The unit has an Ultimax 3 w/ A and B axis capability, Siemens Simodrive 611 control system, and the wiring harness is there for the external mount. I think this isn't a plug and play setup for sure,...

Anyone ever add a 4th axis to a 97 BMC 30M ? The controller allows for 5 axis, but I believe I need to add on quite a bit to the Siemens system to get there.... anyone, anyone ?

figured it out, 4 axis contour works well. You have to select the guide surfaces separately each time you select a contour... painfully meticulous, but works.
This is with Surfcam ..

Anyone ever engrave on a conic section ? I have the conic section around the X axis, and the lettering is done in Solidworks, but I have yet to figure out how to get this to work......

Where are the tool door switches located?

Not sure I understand. I have the carousel ATC, and I see a cyclinder on top of the cover.....

I also have a 97 BMC30M, and I cannot get the tool changer height adjustment to work. I am using the "secret code" enter,1,0,1,enter, and also someone suggested enter,4,8,8,enter, but neither works....

I have an 8K spindle, and I believe some of the drawbar components are toasted(belville washers), anybody know how to get the drawbar out of there?

I have removed the solenoid and the 4 screws on...

Actually it was the button at the top, Tool in Spindle, and it got me to the page you described.... Thanks -Geo

How do I get to the Diagnostics Screen ?

Just got my '98 Hurco off the truck, tool changer isn't homed. Boots up and servos come on, but I don't remember how to get to Machine Diagnostics Screen to retract the tool changer. Anyone ?

Just bought one of these, have manuals and disks, etc.

Did you ever get your info ?

Would love to compare notes and help out if I can.

I am just setting it up now, but I have been doing...

I have designed 2 plates now, one for pulleys, and one is a two piece for direct drive with o-ring seals on all sides. I am just now putting the 2 piece ones into use. All were designed on solidworks...

I had used timing pulleys, but keeping the ratio at 1 to 1, as well as aligning the centerline of the motor and leadscrew(easier on the motor bearings) seems to be simple and strong. I am using...
