I don't think there's a way to do exactly what you want, but I'm not a Fusion 360 expert.
When I've asked before, I've been told I need to adjust the "smoothing" settings, etc. That doesn't make a...
Duplicate post... I attempted to copy paste what I put in the Industry Arena window to CNCZone... OK. Now I realize they duplicate in both directions.
I was searching for something else related to MAZAK on google and saw my own post in the search results.
I made my original post here:...
Ron, that sounds exactly like my results with the same type of board on my Fanuc 11M control.
I have a feeling a savvy guy could program an FPGA to do this conversion, but the time to do it makes...
Excellent, thank you!
Make that thanks X2.
Also, is there any chance I could get a copy of your wiring diagram for the machine? I imagine there isn't much difference between the 8N and the 10N with the T2 CAM control... All my machine is...
I bought that same board to try on my Fanuc 11M a few years back.
It could not scan-convert the Fanuc monochrome CRT signal, but hopefully it will work on the Mazak.
Do you mind sharing a...
I am about to embark on the same project with a 10N that is coming into the shop tomorrow.
Something to keep in mind when you are researching the LCD display upgrade is the sync-rate frequencies. ...
I recently purchased a 1986 Mazak QT 10N with the CAM T2 control.
This machine is a project, I have never seen it powered up, but it will be arriving at my shop tomorrow and I'd like to get a...
Problem solved... I played around with this a little tonight. I solved the issue by changing the Servo Gain Multiplier (Parameter 1826). Seems to be 100 percent functional, time to make some...
I am revisiting this project. The last I worked on it I purchased the H102 VCU and have everything wired into the machine. With the "standard" jumper settings for the Model 0 servo and H102 VCU...
First a little background on my situation...
I have semi-successfully added a rotary 4th axis to my Fanuc 11M based Kuraki KV-700 VMC.
In the process of doing this, I picked up some very...
I have tried one of the arcade converters on my Fanuc 15MA controller. It does not work correctly, it's obvious that the frequency range is close, but not quite low enough as I can see a broken...
I have always used G48 ENABLE OVERRIDE, G49 DISABLE OVERRIDE.
That doesn't solve your problem... I'd like to know if the 100% max is possible as well. This would be handy at first run.
Just realized that you're dealing with a turning center... I was referencing a VMC, but the same basic principle applies. You just need a standard or an indicator that is repeatable and constant...
Did a google search... Here's an example of a really nice tool height setter:
http://blog.cnccookbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ToolSetter.jpg
Find a block with two parallel surfaces (top/bottom) of an exact known height.
Or, set up a dial indicator where the plunger is facing up and the dial reads zero at an exact known height.
On or...
I think what angelw is saying may be your issue.
There are two pages to set parameters aside from "Handy". They are "Service" and "Setting".
On my 11M control, you must change PWE through the...
Couple of things that may or may not help:
Some machines require that you push the e-stop button to change parameters.
Also, you must be in MDI mode.
If you successfuly set 8000 bit 0 (PWE) to...
Progress... I found a rotary table with a Fanuc servo motor. It came with the manual and a parameters sheet for Fanuc controls as well as a MT3 adapter sleeve. I had to re-configure the connection...
I would love to do the same... Seems like Fanuc would do better to support these older machine tools at a profit. I've been unable to get any real technical information from them regarding my 11MA...
Ooooh, documentation!
Thanks Al!
I'll read through these and learn what I can.
I'd like to learn about Fanuc servos and what is compatible with my A06B-6050-H104 drives.
Currently, I have a couple of A06B-0502-B001 servos (model 20S) running on those drives (Z and A axis).
...
Thank you Al, I appreciate the information a great deal!
TC429, I'm going to look into the suggestions you've made and try to learn more from that. I have everything working now, but I'm always...
I found the wires!
So with some help from Al, I read through a little documentation on the 15MB.
I found R004.1 which is the register between Y000.6 (M11 relay output) and the G076.4 + G076.6...
Interlock is only the resulting action of "Axis off" logic. Axis off is issued whenever an axis is clamped.
Pretty sure I'm on the right track here:
unclamp signal, BUCLP, is set low ....
So I found the G076.4 (see my previous post) in that documentation... It's listed as the "INTERLOCK" for the 4th axis.
I suppose whatever input I'm looking for will effect this interlock when the...
So if I understand correctly, I should check the ladder diagram for inputs "X" connected to G005.1 and translate those to physical pins?
Is there an easy way to make that translation from X or Y...
