Hi All, got sidetracked on a different project, now back on trying to get this machine back up. I wish I had the manuals. There isn't anything inline with the motor leads in the cabinet. Where would...

Hi All,
This vertical mill was working fine but now we can't energize the drives. Been this way for a couple weeks. Turn on main power and walk around and boot up control, looks good. But when we...

Ok, I found G760.PRG and added G76 to G/M Codes using LATHE DIAMETER CUSTOM CANNED CYCLES configuration.
Still can't get it to plot, something about unacceptable thread angle. I'll keep trying, this...

Hi All,
I can't seem to get the lathe canned cycle G76 to plot. I've tried single line command and two line command from the Fanuc manuals but no joy.
Could someone post sample code of G76 that...

Today I was able to verify, on an identical machine/drive, that when 3-phase voltage is applied to the drive it does come to life whether anything is hooked up to it or not. The dead drive will be...

Hi Everyone,
I originally posted this in "Machine Problems, Solutions , Wireless DNC, serial port" but this forum seems a better fit. I apologize, am tired, no coffee.
This spindle drive is in a...

I can check machine wiring tomorrow. I've read the manual and it implies that if the drive has proper 3-phase voltage applied, it should come to life (with errors), whether anything is hooked up to...

Hi All,
This spindle drive is in a Hitachi Seiki HT25S. When machine is turned on in back, the drive gets proper 3-phase voltage but no LED's come on, nothing on single 7-segment LED. Shouldn't at...

Hi All,
I have an RS232 software program on my laptop that I have to use but it's locked in at 8-databits, No-parity, 1-stopbit, 9600 baud
What parameters and values do I set in the Fanuc OM...

Hi again All,
I apologize and I'm kicking myself. Unknown to the operator the machine has been switched to metric, and to the naked eye all axes appear motionless. The operator reported the...

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out why this Supermax FV56A will start a program that has run for years and stop after the first toolchange as the first tool approaches the part. By stop I mean all...

Possibly when you repaired the SRAM you lost parameters and the option parameter for subprograms was not turned back on. I do not know which parameter that is.
Hope this helps.

During power-up, LEDs should turn on for about one second and then turn off. If they remain on and the green LED is on then there is a CPU fault. Drive should be replaced.
Note: While reset pins...

Can you graph the program on the control? It might help you determine where to set a G54.

Many CNC controls allow uppercase text to be displayed as long as they are in parenthesis in the program. Not sure about your control, try putting some words in parenthesis in your G-code program and...

Hi JP,
It seems the link you posted is for creating a G-code file from dimensional data and not a program for communication through RS232. I have a MAC iBook G4 and using a USB/Serial port adaptor I...

I've got an 8025M and have been able to use several transfer programs, even Hyperterminal. I just had to make sure my program followed the format described in the Fagor manual.
Some of my transfer...

Does pressing "P" plus "CANCEL" during power-up clear for homing like it does on an OM control? Anybody have an alarm list? error codes? manuals?

I took a picture of the control, here's the link:
http://home.fuse.net/consultec/images/GN6.jpg
It's on a 3 axis milling machine.
Are manuals available?

I need 6M manuals also, can you help?

Thanks for the response.
I've left the shop for the day, I'll definitely check Monday on the particulars.

Any leads on purchasing a GN6 operator/maintenance manual.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey thanks Todd !
I fooled around some more this evening (despite the tornado watch in my area) and found M53 turns the W spindle on and M54 turns it off (M51 turns Z spindle on and M52 turns it...

I'm still playing with a MotionMaster router, similar to the one pictured here but mine has the 8025M control:

Op Mode 7, you have to make sure DNC is OFF, then select OP Mode 2 or 3 depending whether sending or receiving. This is what I have to do to when using Procomm or HyperTerminal on my laptop.

Hi Greg, did you ever get DPRNT to work?

What did you find out the problem was?

I've had good luck with this configuration:

Don't take the ballscrew out of the ballnut, bad idea.

I think the diagnostic screen is accessed through the "Util" softkey under "Info". You need to find the "Diags" screen since it shows active inputs and outputs.
