Ok, now that makes more sense why you would want it that way. You should look into the MQL system my dad (Brian L on here) made for his milltronics. Works well and not messy. I think he has a link...

Nice! Looks like it should work. I personally would just put a dwell instead of an M0. I dont like to babysit my machines unless absolutely necessary. I didn't do it in my PP, but my pump doesn't...

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, its an order of operations type thing. Go into the post processor, find where it tells it to turn on the coolant and move it to right after it moves to...

Edit your pp to turn off the brake at the end of a program, then it will always be off unless you specifically turn it on.

Edit your post processor then.

Hi everyone.

I have a ~1995 Partner 1H with a C5 control. This machine is a bit of an oddball, it has AC servos, emerson drives, a 10k spindle, and rigid tapping (that I added). The machine is in...

Don't set your tools to the top of the part. What are you going to do when you break a tool after you've cut off the top of your part? You've got the right idea. Set all your tools to the table using...

I would try replacing your bellville washers on the drawbar and following the procedure for setting the "plunger" length that is in the procedures for the bellvilles. Also, make sure the oiler is...

Update:

With help from SportyBob, we managed to get the machine up and running, mostly. Not really sure what the problem was, but we seemed to get it to quit frying the 24v power supply. The...

I do have all of the machine wiring diagrams. If I remove the two 24v output pins from the connector to the power supply, it produces 24v like it's supposed to when checked on the circuit board. I...

Hi everyone, hopefully someone has some suggestions.

I have a 1997 Partner 1 with centurion 5 control, AC servos and Emerson servo drives. I'm pretty good/familiar with this machine but I'm at a...

Here is a section of a program that I used about a week ago. Works on my Centurion 5 control with rigid tapping. I'm using G99 in this particular program but it shouldn't make a difference. I would...

That is the parameter I was talking about and I believe that 2000 is the correct value. The feed rate is right for a 20 pitch tap. I think I've had this happen before but I can't remember for sure...

What size tap are you using? You have to make sure fusion is outputting the feed correctly. I had to edit my post a few years ago to make sure it was correct. Also check your spindle encoder count in...

Try turning off trig help. It can cause problems with CAM generated programs. I've had the same problem before with fusion and centurion 5 on my partner 1. The control is trying to close a small gap...

I would think that it definitely could. I don't remember if they're NO or NC, but if it failed opposite of normal operation it would likely cause the problem.

Check your limit switches to make sure they're not stuck or jammed up with chips. Sometimes my back y/z way cover (curtain type) gets a heavy enough load of chips on it that it sags down and trips...

I've been using a "stock" one from a few years ago. I haven't tried the latest one because I have modified the stock one to suit a few preferences of mine. I have a partner 1 and the stock one turns...

Send me an email at chris a tripleaxismfg.com (replace a with @, remove spaces) and I'll send you all of my milltronics files this evening. Maybe one of them will have what you need to get going.
...

I thought I attached it, oops. Change the extension to ".tc" from ".txt" before you use it. I couldn't upload it without changing it.

I attached the TC macro from my machine, might help get you going. It needs to be copied to a directory in DOS if I remember correctly. I believe it is the same for 6 or 12 pocket TC. Have you tried...

Here is a sample of code from a drilling cycle from one of my programs using my post for F360. Works well for me. I also attached my post processor that you're welcome to try. The usual applies -...

Also g98 is initial level return, g99 would go back to your R plane. May also have to do with your height settings in fusion for your drilling operation.

When I get home this afternoon I can send you my post that I've been using for a couple years now that works well with my 96 partner 1 and f360.

Thanks for the info Ron. When I get a chance I will call Milltronics and see what they have to say. Seems I still can't run a program in the 300-400kb range directly from memory, as in just make it...

Build one of these. Its my dad's build that he uses on his Partner 4. You really need some lubrication on there and this has worked well for him. 451906

Thanks for the info Ron. I believe what I'm thinking is basically what you're describing. I have an old mini laptop running win 7 that has a network card and wifi. Cat5 from the win 7 laptop to the...

Figured I should leave an update here. Got the front panel working, and the machine seems to be completely back up and running.

Hopefully this explanation makes sense. With the SBC upgrade, there...

If nothing else it's a good reference to have, thank you! I'll check the voltages this morning and see where I'm at.

Well, I figured out the jumbled characters on the screen. It must have been a driver of some sort that wasn't being loaded when dos started. It was an issue with my autoexec and/or my config files. I...
