I would be very cautious looking for this type of machine used.

I believe the pitch of the screws and the size of the servos make it a poor choice for decent milling. Had a customer who had a problem with the part moving while he plunged an end mill. Turns out...
X2 for the belts.
M99 instead of M30 at the end of the program will run it again.
Could you try M99 L10 at the end and see if it runs 10 times instead of indefinatley?
A quick experiment:

Probably need to adlust the limit switch for the quill. should be under the plate on the body held on by too many bolts. Typically you would adjust the switch so it is made befor the end of quill...

Sounds like the hose going back to the hyd. tank (where the heavy leak is) may be plugged.
There are no contact seals on the revolving part of the actuator therefore some oil will bypass.
IDX,
Had a similar problem on a lathe recently, was a PITA to find.
Turn out the toothed ring on the back of the motor was loose on the shaft (supposed to be pressed on).
Dont know how this...
The 88 and 89 chips are on the master board next to the rs 232 connector. I have never known Fanuc to replace these in the field. They typically swap the master which should be in the $700 range for...
You will have fans inside your yellow spindle amp as well. I believe one inside the yellow box and anohter under the heatsink behind the main amp. the alarm on the amp should indicate which fan is...
If it is a typical 4 angular contact bearings spindle, bearings should run around $800 - 1200. Changing bearings in these is far from rocket science. However there are some very critical points to be...
We rep. MTA; Iemca and Edge here in WI. They all have rails on their shorties but none have rails on the 12 footers. When you start approaching the larger dias. turning at lathe speeds with 8' - 9'...
Is it a shorty or 12' feeder? I thought most of the short feeders have been mounted on linear rails over the last several years just for that purpose. I am not aware of any 12 footers built that way...
The timer needs to be far enough left to fit on the line. I believe you can have 2 contacts before it. Perhaps you could write your logic on another line bringing up one contact to activate the timer.
The newer i series can not be chaged in the field (> july 2006 i believe). They can be viewed in nc diagnostics Starting at # 10000 I think. Changes must now go thru Fanuc. It can be done via email...
If you are doing a spindle where you have open bearings I would recommend against putting the spindle in the freezer. The coffee pot thing is good but if you cool the spindle as well you will get a...
The manual states it is a "plus" hard limit so look at the + OT inputs.
Perhaps you need a square instead of a triangle. Aligning a machine like that is not for a novice. Is the machine new or used. Fanuc does have an option called "straightness compensation". You can...
My i series motors are 1 dia. : 10 length
The MTB should have a procedure to re zero the turret motor. the newer lathes I see all have Absolute position coders so you need to follow their procedure. As far as balance The MTB may be able to...
Get some componant cooler. you can cool a more concetrated area than you can heat. you should be able to pinpoint an area about the size of a quarter or so by heating it up then cooling various...
I programmed on a few years ago working like Al's: pull pin, rotate, shoot pin, reverse to clamp. 3 phase motor does not slow down. I believe position was indicated by 4 bit binary switch. I used...
Had a Similar problem withone 8K and one 10K spindle in the past ( same shop). Turned chiller temp setting to 0 deg. (ambiant temp.) and no more problems. Dealing with NSK, the only thing we could...

Snake, I see your a drag racer from Montgomery, I've been to that track a few times (NSCA Racer) it is a nice facility. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said Smile may be spamming his...
Yama sieki, and most others, do not put a "tape" or dnc mode on lathes. I am sending a PM with more info.

Captn.,
Do you have a machining center or lathe? I have run several Yama Seiki VMB's off the card in "tape" mode. I assumed that was standard for them.
If you page thru your parameters to "parameters relating to feedrate" you will find a jog feedrate parameter. it is probably set to 1000 MMPM right now. 10% = 3.94 IPM. if you change the param to 500...
