  1. Re: Alarm 41 Spindle malfunction after amplifier change

    When you say the spindle amp would not boot, was it dead, with no display? Does the spindle load bar graph on the screen show a high load when rotating the spindle? After replacing the amp, the...
  2. Re: Delta 20 "power fail" message doesn't clear with new battery

    The dipswitch may be for draining the memory support supercapacitor (useful for resetting the CMOS when things get glitched). When you switched the dipswitch to "on", you may have caused a...
  3. Re: Mori MV40 w/ Fanuc 10M9B - Err 240 NO EMPTY POT

    Not at all sure of this, but with the Fanuc controls, it needs the M06 first. And possibly use the tool number in 2-digit form, with a leading zero if necessary, and possibly add a second 2-digit...

    I found in search on Yahoo that a 8055M is a Fagor machine, is that correct? Do you know if the monitor is CGA or VGA? If CGA, I recently found a nice converter (Moncotech's MVC007) to convert that...

    If you are stopping the buzz when you touch either side of the power supply capacitor, it sounds like you are grounding the circuit with your finger. Try putting a small wire from the negative (-)...
