In your first picture with the top access cover open, it's definitely missing two proximity sensors from there, that is what should be plugged into the two yellow plugs. I can't remember the part...

I'll try to remember to take some photos or a video when I'm back in the workshop next week. I'll also have a look to see if that error is listed in the manual & what it recommends to fix it if it's...
The turret should move out, rotate & then pull back in again & lock up. I'd have to look up that error code in the manual when I get a chance to see what it is. In the center of the turret is a cap...
Been a while since I looked at an 8S lathe. But on the larger 15s or 18s lathes there is two sets of promixity switches in the tailstock. One set of switches is for the tailstock sleeve position, the...
I'm ok at this stage, we start a 4 week lockdown tomorrow night so only supermarkets open for food, gas stations & medical facilities, everything else is supposed to be closed but we'll have to wait...
I've got access to a 15S & also an 18S manual at work. But sadly we are on 4 weeks lockdown due to this Virus, so it'll be a while before I'm allowed to leave the house & go to work
Been a very long time since any of our had a parts catcher on them but try M48/49 or M90/91. Possible also to use the bar feeder calls depending on installation so could also be M68/69
After you reload the parameter's, you have to set the maximum speed, from memory it defaults to about 50-100rpm. On a 15s I think it should be 4800rpm(Check the max speed of your chuck). You set the...
The is a selection switch for inside/outside clamping on the lefthand side of the control(between the display screen & the lathe door), white door with a screwed in knob to keep it closed, inside is...
Tailstock being used manually or automatic should have the body move forward onto the stop(Using switch or M11), then the tailstock quill should be extended into the part(Using switch or m31). It...
Pretty sure our 15s & 18s lathes are about the same 5-10rpm ut at 1000rpm. You could always check the reading against a tacho & make sure that it's running at the same rpm the control thinks its...
I don't usually program like that for threading, I normally just use a G33. R24 is a positive value for external thread & negative for internal threads.
R21,R22,R31,R32 are all absolute values....
Tried attaching the software here again, won't work, tried emailing it but also doesn't seem to work for most people. So try this instead DPRO_ENG
I can't say we've ever had a spindle knock at low rpm, we did have a problem where one of them wouldn't run faster than about 500rpm which from memory was one of motor contactors or something like...
If/when I get some time I'll try again to post the D-pro software here or somewhere so that people can grab a copy
Yeap I've found the D-Pro Software, it should be attached as a Rar file(It won't let me, so if you want it PM me or somehow give me an email address so I can send it to you). If you've got an earlier...
Reload Parameters/System initialization after battery Failure:
1. Change Battery

3. Press "Area Switchover" button
4....
9V battery should be a lithium long life battery, easy to change & generally you'd do it with the power on, they should last about 3-5years. Our 15S started eating them & siemens told us it could be...
I'll try & dig out the D-Pro software over the weekend, so you guys can try that if you haven't got it, or perhaps I can chuck up one of our MPF files from a proven program we run that I know...
I've been running these things for 15 years without too many issues, a few electronic components mainly sensors have died but our 1998 model 18s still basically cuts as good as it did when new. Sure...
Hopefully this will help get you going. Somewhere at home I've got a zip file with the Hyundai D-Pro software, but it really only works ok on a pre windows-XP computer or run in a virtual machine...

We've got a 15S,18S withy 840C control & a 30M with 840D controls, been running these things for years, when I get a chance in the next couple of days I'll post up some stuff for you, which should...
The easiest way is between the M05 &M30 at the end of the MPF, insert the following:
@100 K-5
The @100 command makes it return to the start of the program. The K-5 part tells it which line to...
I do it the other way, I have my machining in the MPF file & call the sub program for the bar pulling. Then I just get the MPF file to loop however many times I need it to which is usually the number...
