Here is some good information and examples for tool length setting macros.

I don't know if they had any earlier versions of the C6 controller with the same axis connectors as the C5 boxes. But at a minimum I would think you'd want those to match up for the best chance of...
I've got a C5 Mill, and a C6 Lathe I'm still working on.. But, they both run DOS. And DOS is most likely the limiting factor with your file size limitations. I've seen some previous posts from...
Did you replace it with the same VFD? And does your old VFD still turn on? Basically, the machine doesn't do as much as you'd think to control the spindle. It just sends signals to the VFD, and if...
Check the z axis limit switch. If you go to (Display) | (Diag) you can look at the different inputs the machine sees. Check and see if there is a 1 on the Z axis limit switch. If that switch is high...
Okay,
I'm a little out of practice. I could use a sanity check to make sure I'm not heading in the wrong direction.
I got an old Centurion 6 ML15 lathe. I bought it broken as usual because...
Bumping this up in case anyone has any Manuals available for this machine. I'm trying to sort out some electric issues on one.
Mine is showing 401 servo alarm (VRDY OFF) for both axes.
Looking...
I have a Nardini with Fanuc 20T. I have the SRAM backup if anyone still needs it. I need a copy of the manuals if anyone has them. I'm looking specifically for the electric diagram.
Thanks for the tips Mike. You inspired me to work on my own macro program. I've got a couple things sorted out, but I'm still not able to get a custom M code to work for some reason. I've got a Macro...
So, I did some searching and couldn't really find anyone with the same problem. I'm starting to think it isn't possible to slow down the Gear head motors on the tool changer, I think they are fixed...
Does anyone know a way to slow down the tool changer rotation? When my tool changer is rotating the motion isn't very smooth. It's very jerky and occasionally it's shakes hard enough to dislodge a...
Thanks for the Help sportybob! My M19 orientate spindle is finally working and I haven't had it alarm out on me when stopping the spindle yet. Your comment about the Jog decel time gave me the idea...
Are you making a new thread? I'm interested in any information you come up with. I got a FUGI AF-300 VFD and I still can't changed tools because I haven't sorted how to do the orient. I also overload...
Yeah, for anyone going this route don't forget the blanking plates either if you get a manifold that has more stations than the amount of values you have..
2 day free shipping and they accept paypal! I definitely love these automationdirect guys..
Just wanted to say thanks for the information Brian, I've read through a lot of your posts. I had some leaking valve bodies And I'm ordering some of the AVS-5211-120A per your recommendation.
Okay, I have a theory. Until now I never really looked at the VFD sticker or through it's manual.
The badge on the side of the Partner mill say 240V.. but the Input range for the VFD actually says...
Anyone tried one of the Fuji Drives?
Fuji AF 300 G11 AC Drive 5HP 230V 6KG1123005X1B1 Excellent Used Condition | eBay
Okay, I did some more testing.
With the braking resistor and spindle disconnected I powered up the machine.
The EF3 is the normal fault when you power up the machine. It clears and goes to...
pmhupman,
This sounds like a lot like an issue I might have just experienced. Tried turning on the spindle, heard a, "pop" and the spindle braking resistor started smoking.
For some reason mine...
The rotary phase converter was not connected/turned on at all during this test. It was only the single phase 240 from the main lines ran to L1 and L3 on the machine without any jumper to L2. I...
With the Resistor disconnected, I powered on the machine and measured the B1 and B2 terminals on the VFD (terminals that go to the spindle braking resistor).
As soon as it gets power, I'm seeing...
Okay. I managed to find some electrical drawings online.
The component that is smoking is a:
SPINDLE BRAKING RESISTOR
150 OHM - 225 WATT
I disconnected and measured the resistance and I'm...
I'm in the process of hooking up a Rotary phase converter. I ran a new electrical drop to the machine and was testing it out.
I was only testing out single phase at first. Inputs on L1 and L3, no...
Having very limited space in my garage I am wanting to get the most capability out of my little Partner I mill as possible. I have been looking at adding some turning capability to it and I'm...
Brian,
Did you find an exact match for your servo drives? I'm looking to pick up an extra servo drive and motor myself to try to setup a 4th axis for my machine. I see some good deals pop up on...
Thanks rl49,
I just got a chance to go out and look a little closer at what it's going to take to pull out the y axis motor, and the enclosure actually has a small removable panel right about...
ZZZZ,
I am trying to diagnose an axis problem on my mill too. You're help to the original poster has helped me to narrow my problem down to the Y axis, I can home the Z and the X axis by...
I'm a little confused on this one, so even after installing a larger drive, you still have to DNC from that drive into the controller? Are the programs too large to load into the controller? I have...
It seems like all these VFD's will run without the jumper, I guess my best bet is to call Milltronics about the PC3 to make sure which way it's happiest.
I've been trying to find some more...
