Machine is a Hardinge ST-216, but I believe the spindle was made by Tsugami, so maybe someone familiar with Tsugami could help. The spindle is a splined tube that slides in and out of the motor as...

Pitre,

This was a while ago, so I don't remember exactly what I did... I think I took the end of a paperclip (you can use any small diameter pin) and ground a flat on opposite sides to make the...

Hi all,

I've spent nearly all day with this problem and I'm stumped. The machine is a Mori DL20MC circa 1990 with a 0TT-C control. The problems started last week with intermittent 930 CPU...

Keep in mind this is for a Fanuc Machine, not sure if it is the same.

FA450 TOOL CHANGER RESTORE:
1. Check that current x and y positions match the positions in the tool change macro (9020)

Let me know how it went for you today. I have a tool changer restore procedure if you need it.

We did finally get our machine running. It took a lot of work, but it runs great now. Post the alarms you have, and I'll see if I can help you out. If you don't know how to check the alarms, I can...

I believe the correct tool is model MRP-MF. After getting a look at what the tool and the crimp terminals look like, I decided to make my own tool by grinding the end of a paperclip thinnner. That...

Al,

Where can I get this special Honda tool? I'm having trouble locating it online. Is there any chance Radio Shack would have it?

Hi all,

I bought a replacement servo feedback cable for one of my machines. The manufacturer was supposed to leave the connector on one end off so that I could pass the cable through a cord-grip....

I'm still looking for any books that might be out there. REM doesn't have PDF files for a machine this old. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all. I just picked up a Tsugami S16D to add to my stable of machines. It seems like a nice little machine. I was wondering if anyone has any manuals that I could copy for this machine? The dealer...

The relays are the plug-in type. They're IDEC RH2B-UD DC24V. Maybe I don't understand, but I don't see how they could be hooked up the wrong way. So, if my relay coils already have the diode...

The relay coils are DC. When I replaced the relays, I got ones of the same type, but with the "surge suppression diode" option. Is this the reverse-based diode you mention?

First of all, let me say that my knowledge of and experience with electronics is very limited. I'm a CNC setup guy who often times needs to fix machines. I'm hoping someone with experience here can...

Thanks for the response. We have gotten all our parameter/software issues taken care of, but we're still putting the machine back together. Where are you located? It would be nice to stay in touch in...

Does anyone have any experience using the tool life management option on a Yasnac (Yaskawa) i80 control? It's on a Hitachi Seiki HVP20 lathe. I'm able to use the M12 M-code to get the counter to...

I don't see a clock anywhere on the screens. I guess it was an option on this machine. I was assuming that all machines had a clock in the control.

Was the clock on a Fanuc OT-B an option? I tried assigning the value of macro variable #3012 (time) to a common variable, but I get an alarm every time. It doesn't work for #3011 (date) either. The...

Looking for parameters for a Toyoda FA450 with a 15MB control. I have most of them but still missing some along with ladders and Toyoda machine specific software.

Already contacted Toyoda USA,...

Anyone that may be able to help, We purchased a 1995 FA450 in August that had been sitting, disconnected from power for a long period of time and lost all memory and parameters. We removed all the...

If you bought new, doesn't the sale include installation/interfacing? I have a newer lathe (HT20SIII) with an older bar loader (Quick Load). I know that the lathe has an optional bar feeder interface...

What model of bar feeder?

Thanks for the response. I looked up the M121 and figured out how to use that. In doing so, though, I found the input I was looking for. It's in plug P21 which is labeled spare3. So now I just need...

I'm trying to interface a simple hydrodynamic bar feeder (SMW Omnibar) to a Haas MiniLathe. All I need are an end of bar signal to be given to the lathe and an e-stop to come from the bar feeder. The...

Right. I know what that distance is now, but I want to know what that distance is supposed to be. I can change it by doing a grid shift. Once I get that distance set with my grid shift, I should have...

Maybe my question was confusing... I want to know what the machine display should read when an I.D. holder is on center with the spindle.

I'm looking for the proper distance in both X axes from the spindle centerline to home position. I don't have a manual that gives this info. Can anyone out there help me out? I replaced the X2 belt...

I looked at a used Iemca bar loader today that I'm thinking about buying. The model is AS 325. It seems that the height is not adjustable at all. Could this be true? All other bar feeders/loaders...
