you did. there is nothing wrong with the beta series motors. we have 3 lathes with the beta motors on the loaders that are close to 15 years old that still have the original motors, we have replaced...

try Tennesee industrial electronics their website is fanucworld.com, the company I work for sends them a lot of repair work usually cheaper than fanuc, normally faster too. We still send a lot to...

I can't read Korean but the 32 on the end indicates they are probably using a #32 hydraulic oil. I deal with a lot of Japanese equipment and they seem to do the same thing when marking equipment,...

Yes I suppose it could be that. I just noticed a lot of movement in that axis and was looking for some ideas on what I should be looking for

I've got a late 90's Wasino LG-7 and am noticing the X axis is very sloppy. I know you can adjust for backlash in the CNC parameters but this seems really bad. Other that replacing the ball screw is...

Does it make noise while moving? I've seen guys try to hide problems with the backlash settings and the servo ends up fighting itself to keep a position.

karts, sprint and oval both

It sounds like a prox switch problem in the clamp/unclamp setup. I don't know much about Hardinge, what type of servo control does it use for the turret rotation? it may need to be retaught for the...

I guess it depends on the hobby. For me it is racing, and yes it has hurt it, this is the 1st time in 11 years that I will not be racing. I'm currently an unemployed repair tech

I have seen something like that. One of our overseas "experts" was working on a lathe that he had never seen before. Well he wrote a program and never punched in any of the geometry offsets before...

Check outhttp://www.fanucworld.com the company I work for has had very good luck with the quality and turnaround time of thier repairs on many drives and motors

Is this happening while the press is moving?
If it is I'd start by checking to see if there are any wires or components on the ram or if there is something being rubbed by the ram while it is moving

We store our coolant in large totes and have it disposed of by an outside company, I don't know if it should be reused, if you get a lot of fungus you will have health issues down the road. Depending...

It sounds like the fuse is too small, I'd try the 7.5 amp fuse first. If it blows, it could be any kind of electrical short causing the fuse to blow. Then you will need to start off disconnecting all...

I guess I'm a little confused. It sounds like you have a short some where, if it was me I would unplug all the I/O and plug in each I/O card to see where the short might be. Then remove each wire...

On our machines the servo batteries on on the front of the servo amplifier, there should be a rectangular cover that will stick out and have 2 wires that plug into the front of the amplifier. The...

We have some newer lathes that have batteries on the back of the operator screen and the keyboard, if it is a fanuc check the servo amps also because they have batteries too. One other thing to check...

I am a maintenance tech and we have 45+ lathes, 4 centerless grinders, and 3 presses. At one time 1 person would run 5-7 lathes. I'm thinking about buying roller skates to go to the machine...

Sorry guys,
Product development manager found out what I was doing and has told me to stop all attempts to improve the process. I guess they like to break $400 boring bars 2-3 times a day

I feel your pain. I'm working in a place as a maintenance tech and am always getting beat up by management (japanese) asking me why is this not fixed? And then getting mad at me when I tell...

Sorry haven't been on here for a while but I'll get all the info I can and post it here on Monday.
Thanks

We have a WT-250 at our shop, good machine, ours doesn't have the bar feeder. What gantry loader does it have? Ours has the GR series loader out of Japan, I've been told it is different that some of...

Do you have any examples of these bars? The bar being used is a Tungaloy # E12Q-STUPR1103-D140. Like I said I'm not a programmer, just trying to get a better understanding of what is going on...

I have to ask because I'm just a maintenance tech and have done very little programming.
We are running an EMag vertical lathe and machining the ID of a part with a boring bar but are having issues...

You might try to use the shift key and the +Z and -Z on the axis control pad, I know we are not using the same machines but I had the same problem on a takamaz using a 16t controller

We had a spindle bearing failure on one of our takamaz x-10 lathes. I rebuilt the spindle as the manufacturer specified. My question is what is the best method for running in the bearings? I always...

Are the batteries 2 3v soldered together? if it is that type then your batteries are in need of replacement, you should be getting 6v from them. Personally I change ours once every 12-18 months, its...

I forgot to say that it is a lathe. The big question is does anybody know what parameters need to be changed to activate the codes when used?

On a Takamaz lathe M19 is a 2nd coolant...

I was asked by the production supervisor if there was any way I could add a spindle orientation to a cutting program. I thought no problem added a m41 and a m42 told him to try it and nothing...

Thanks for the help,
Kind of strange but on these lathes they use the shift with the +Z and -Z for the turret which is not even part of the main key pad, got the info from one of our Japanese techs...
