  1. Re: MX-45 VAE U100M Possible to add Tool Break Detection probe or Tool Length probe?

    I'm not sure I'm reading the wiring diagram properly. The External M Codes on FUB-P4M4 say they are for output. I don't see anywhere suggesting an input M, which is what I assume I would need to...
  2. Re: MX-45 VAE U100M Possible to add Tool Break Detection probe or Tool Length probe?

    OK thank you. I'm looking at my wiring diagram and on FUB-P4M4 input/output card, there are 8 spots for "External M Code" (1-8). I suppose this is where the input would connect. I'll look at CALL...

    Paid a tech to come out. A wire from the encoder had broken at the solder point. This is why it started failing but would occasionally work, then not at all.

    When I say "normal" values, I mean that is what the machine was calibrated to during setup.

    I've experimented with a large range (from 20 to -20, and inbetween) of machines zero offsets, none...

    Talked to kitagawa and they said to look for a server drive error on the okuma. I'm not sure what this means though.

    I did this and now program zero call results in the same number of the machine offset. I'm pretty sure the b axis was at 0 when these issues happened.

    Maybe the encoder is so far out of range...

    OK, I think we are on to something. I'm far from knowledgable about changing parameters, but comfortable experimenting. I set the part zero offset for B using Calc, and normal value is...

    Way to get Incremental G91 positioning?

    I need to have my gcode for a part output in G91 incremental. Is there an easy way to do this for a large part (ie; too large to do by hand)?

    Is there something I can edit in the GPP file? ...
  17. Re: Adjusting Max jog speed IPM on a MX45VAE w/ OSPU100M?

    No ITF, so G94/G95 don't work.

    The setting is in the U100M, not the table. Machine is 15 years old and purchased second hand, so no rep available.
  18. Adjusting Max jog speed IPM on a MX45VAE w/ OSPU100M?

    My MX45 seems to have a setting for a max IPM of 400, so any time feed >400, it'll automatically reduce it.

    Trouble is I have a Kitagawa 5 axis table, and feed is read as DEGREES per minute. So...
