As a reference, I ended up very quickly selling the computer and card for $750. I am sure I could have gotten more if I had waited, but that seemed fair to me.
Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is kosher, so if it isn't please feel free to close the thread and I'll stick it in the classifieds. I have a PC with MSD disk from a PC Mill 50 and Fanuc software...
Its the ISA card for a 50. I've read that they are now well over 1500 from Emco although I have not verified this for myself. I agree, that‘s insane money, but they are rare and it is eBay we‘re...
Hi Guys,
I don't know how active this thread is anymore, but I have a PC with MSD disk (I was told by Chad at Emco, that machines with similar serial numbers would work fine on the same...
As a final update to this, DNC-B and all other hardware and software are running flawlessly on my machine, running the software I purchased from a scrapped machine that had the option.
In the end,...
I suppose I should update this in case it can help anyone else. The information I received regarding the magazine drive chip being wrong was 100% correct. I was wrong in that the chip needed to be...
Also, please empty some of your PM's, I have some data to send you :)
Kurmay,
I just wanted to thank you for your OSP Reader. It works GREAT.
Yeppers. Seems to be working as it should, too.
Another update here:
I was wrong about the CCPC2 board's E4809 number. The CCPC2 board is the small board that sits on top of the CCP board.
I have successfully gotten my machine up and...
As an update to this, I was able to get the parts list and diagrams from my friendly neighborhood Hartwig guys. I love their support! They have been nothing but excellent in our dealings.
Hi Everyone,
I've got yet another question about DNC-B. I am wanting to source a DNC kit to retrofit my V4020. I have a line on the CCP board, #E4809-770-024-B 1911-1594 , software from another...
And another update:
The 168 error was due to the tool changer shot pin being in an indeterminate state. I put the machine in magazine check mode (change machine user parameter 40 word to 51) I...
Just as an update, I fixed this issue. It turns out that it was the ECP board and the remote I/O boards were only allowing it to boot because it was not giving the VAC III a ready signal when the...
I found out that these are thick film resistors and that they see around 350V. Not sure on power yet, though.
Bringing this back to the top...I pulled apart my VAC III because I was getting an error code 15, which is an open phase leg. I last powered it up on Friday and all was well. I powered the machine up...
Hi Everyone,
I just picked up an 4020 and am getting a 1-1 Bus Error primarily at two access addresses after transporting it home. One is FFF7804E and the other is FFF03FCA. I was told that...
I've been kicking around the idea of buying a small used CNC lathe recently and have come across a couple that are pretty interesting. 95% of the parts I do are smaller than 6" diameter and 6" long,...
Hello, I have been lurking for awhile and have a few posts, but I really need some input on this one. I don't really know where to put this, so if it is in the wrong place feel free to move it.

Interesting. I haven't heard of these before. Any links? Thanks for the info guys.
Hello, I am looking for a 4x8 laser cutting machine to cut 1/8 aluminum diamond plate for less than 40k. Is there such a thing?
Media is right all the time? Media isn't biased? You should belive everything you see on tv? Things are misconstrued, misunderstood, and mistaken for others. I saw zero facts presented in those...
That, sir, I can't tell you. Hopefully someone more knowlegable than I will chime in with the answer.
I don't really get why people use gas pipe. Do you just not have a metal yard anywhere around you? Pipe in any wall thickness you want is abundant.
Ya man, not gonna fly.
Wow. I'm sure you are a very smart person, but this is just dumb. I don't see how anyone who has actually looked over the evidence could belive there is a conspiracy in any of it. I would love to...
Hey, I don't know if yall know about this or not, but I found this website today and you can download 3d files in almost any format of any drive you can think of. I imagine this will help quite alot...
Thats awesome man. Do you it with your mouse and stuff or command line? In my experience with it, command line seemed easier.
I love the drive idea for the x-axis by the way. Also love that A&M...
