We are using a serial cable that injects bits between the tape reader and the control using an old PC so in a way yes. I suspect that the only connections are RX TX and GND which might be the source...

We have a very old Fanuc 3M control (1982) that has updated ROMs that should allow the machine to execute directly from data coming in through the serial port. However, the machine refuses to take in...
We talked to the guy up in Canada from Nexas who sells the D71 ROM upgrade kit for the old Fanuc 3M control. The idea is that this new firmware is supposed to allow the machine to ignore its...
Does anyone know what happened to the site or the guy who sold these upgrade kits? We are looking for one right now and it seems like they are unobtainium.
Thanks,

We want to enable drip feeding on our Fanuc 3M milling machine and I came across this dead website. Does anyone have the contact information of the guy who made/sold this product?
Thanks,
Justin
I may not get a response since this is a dead thread. But I am curious as to what ever happened to these machines. We have an AM-1547 that we have been playing with. I have developed a soft spot for...
We are searching for a solution to allow our vintage Fanuc 3M-A equipped milling machine to run more complex programs. From the factory the Fanuc 3 does not allow drip feeding or direct execution...
This worked. Just had to home the machine after boot and it found 0 again. Thanks!
Fanuc 0T-C.
I got the axis freed up. The hand wheel ended up saving me and I was able to move the axis. But the X axis still wont home itself on a RPR. Its just misses 0 and overtravels.
Anyone who has worked with these older Nakamura lathes knows the odd trait that is the X axis direction. As you move closer to the spindle X is positive. I tried to change this by following the...
Never mind! I got it figured out. Adding tool diameter to profile and selecting inside or outside does it. Onward!
I have just started using CB and we need to cut some holes into a sheet of aluminum. I don't need a whole pocket milled out. I had been doing this by manually shrinking a profile to compensate for...
Fanuc said we could get another 20m with this board: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282675472181?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28
Would something like this work with the 3M?

40m? Meaning megabytes? Or 40 meters of punched tape? I estimated this machine to only have 16K. We could do a lot more with 40MB or an extra 40m but our machine only accepts about 10K before we run...
So we have come to the conclusion that we cannot drip-feed to our Fanuc 3M control without a set of expensive chips from Nexus. I am writing here as a last attempt to try and save us some cash. Is...
Do you know if they have a website or some place we can order them? are they still around and about how much did the set of new chips run you?
Thanks,
Justin
We finally have a somewhat decent post processor for our Fanuc 3M Accumill. But now that we can create much more complex (and sub sequentially larger) programs, our little old 3M is running out of...
