I think if you change M13 in this post on the spindle codes section to M03 and save file it should work.

I'm not a post programmer but from doing some minor modifying to some of...

Not good when all three top posts are yours :) I have more questions though.

Thanks again Guy's


.....NEAL would the fan (motor) not working create enough heat on the spindle motor to give me that error 12 or 13 ?

Sorry guy's ....screwed up my original post question!!!!


"SPINDLE MOTOR" was hot!!!!NOT "spindle" itself.

That is why I am wondering if the fan is the problem...I do not see fan working at...

Thanks for the replies guy's!

I will check it out better tonight when I get home.

So do I pull off the tube to the chiller and see if...

Good to know! I Like using the Haas built in codes especially the G13 spiral pocket etc. And I just have certain codes spit out in my post for our haas at work like D# and H#...

Thanks Bubba,

I don't think I even have rigid tap on this 1992 fadal. looking at the vector drive has a ez200 or 300 on it I think (not at machine) which I think it needs to be a baldor or...

Thanks little bubba,

I wasn't aware what format you were in when I read that post. Last night I read the manual a little and what the diffrence between M02 and M30 is in format 1 as compared to...

Neal,

Would it be ok to switch x with y amplifier and see if it changes to y motor. Just to see if it is the amplifier for sure. or what?

thanks

I have a VMC 40 (2216) that is giving me an X amplifier fault sometimes.

When I turn on the machine it will say it cannot read X. Or sometimes when it is on it will only jog on X- (in 1...

Thanks for the info guy's!!!

Thanks Neal. I will change parameters......that seems like the way to go. I like to simplify the programs as much as possible. And to always add the M45 when I've...

Thanks for the reply Techman.....

So if I had the X Y location on the drill cycle line

Example:

is this what your...

Whats up with needing a M45 in the same line as a G83 or any other canned cycle etc....In the manual they made it seem that it was more for an indexer move etc.?

I'm using #2 format (is that the...

Thanks...
