Burgs,
The only maintenance I do is the lube tank and make sure the air lube is full. I also make sure the water separator for the air is drained. We have a yearly Hurco maintenance contract and the...

Burgs, I did talk with our repair guy when we first bought them and he said that was normal. I think on the newer model control they made 100 normal. You will need to replace the keypad for the...

We have a 2005 model too and the Z is only at 10, I use the rapid jog and get it close to where I want and then use the manual jog wheel. Also if you are setting the tools off the table or a standard...

.001 usually doesn't kill us. I think we will just live with it for now. Thanks for the response, I will keep in in mind in the future.

I have the same issue with our 42, but mine is only .001 difference. I was told by the Hurco guy the same thing. I guess its built in???

Good, sound like you got it! Sometimes I have trouble communicating exactly what I am trying to say through typing.....I am a more visual person..lol. Just remember to save the program after going...

After looking at your post I might know what is going on. If you are in NC mode, when you shut off your machine it might be loosing the setup information. What I do is go back to conversational mode...

I don't know if you figured out anything yet but I have a couple of things I do that maybe you could use. First your tool and part setups should save automatically even when you shut the machine off...

Did you figure it out yet? Is it something you can program conveniently? I do most of our 4axis stuff right on the control.

Thanks for the information, I will look for one.

This one is of the whole card cage

Maybe this block between the boards?

Did you get your machine up? Also where is the battery located? I looked at the mother board and cant see it, unless its on the back side.

We are having the same issue with our BMC30, the power supply flaked out so we took one out of another machine and got the machine to start the boot but get a CMOS battery low warning and won't go...

I can't speak for that particular machine but we have 5 Hurco mills and have had real good service out of them. I guess they are like any other machine and you will have failures with something...

The Hurco control is real easy to catch on to. I have been running it for about 15 years and have taught several others the control. You should be able to catch on pretty quick.

I just looked at our BMC30 and the cord error is set to .0001. I can't remember exactly but I know on some of our older machines if you run a really high feed rate it will slow down a lot in the...

Here is a picture of my indicator setup if it helps

Also I forgot to ask but what happens when you try to change the speed in the manual setup screen? I took a couple of picture of mine...

I'm not familiar with that particular machine, we did have some older Hawks and KM3P machines but you could switch them between low and hi manually. Maybe someone else has experience with this...

I'm not sure about the MD3 but on the VMX42 and VM2's we have they can be adjusted down to 1RPM I use either the Blake CoAxial or a .0005 indicator on a Indicol holder.

Let us know how you like it, we are thinking about buying one.

I think they press onto the shaft of the pump, at least that is the way they look on our BMC30. You might be able to build something out of steel or stainless if you cant find anything.

Review time is coming soon and I am trying to figure out what the competitive pay is for a Pro Man programmer. My question for you guys is what the pay range is for your area or company? I have been...

I am not sure what type of machine you are looking at but I will tell you about our machines. We have 3 VM2's which I think they now call them VM20, a VMX42 (milling machines), a TM8 and a TMM10...

My coworker is helping a friend of his with a T-Line Horizontal 2 pallet machine. The issue he is trying to figure out now is how to set the coordinate offset/part zero. He was wanting to know if M2...

I have used the save file as a ".txt", this will allow you to read it in word pad or something like that. I use that when I want to give another machinist a tool list or part of a program....I just...

On my VMX42 I just sprayed white lithum grease in it and it freed up. I now keep it lubed on a regular basis.

Ok I am running the Ultimax on my machine but ran a Winmax machine at another shop a while back. If I remember right it set up the same. Also I think the Winmax stores the tool setup seperate from...

Go into the program paramaters and change the add tool offset parameter to no and that should take care of your problem. I set my tools off the table using the touch off probe and then touch one tool...

Looks like everything turned great. I do a bunch if thread milling on our Hurco and have been getting better at it. I have been doing some experimenting with a radial entry to see how that works,...

Dan, I don't know anything about the gantry mill but I have been running Hurcos for about 15 years. The control they have is fantastic and you can do tons of stuff without having to program using...
