The VMC we have at work has a spoiled batch of coolant and I need to flush the entire system to kill any residual bacteria that is in the system or else it will just reduce the life of the new batch...

Ok. Thanks guys. I will have a look.

Do you mean the power supply in the main cabinet or inside the display cabinet?

Here is a photo of the main cabinet showing the power supply unit on the left, along with the servo controllers. No...

I just checked what comes up on the display and it is 8055i B/T .

So does that mean the battery is located behind the controller display?

My work has a Dalian CKE6140 lathe, with a Fagor 8055 controller, and when I powered it up yesterday I got a CNC Battery error come on the screen. I am assuming this means the back-up battery needs...

I manually entered the macro code that Monarch gave me and the tool changer is now functioning again.

I made sure to put a printed copy of the macro with the machine manuals.


Thanks everyone...

I contacted Monarch and described the situation that was happening. They confirmed it was a missing macro and using the serial number from the machine were able to provide me with the macro in text...

I looked through all the machine manuals, but not mention of the M06 macro or any other macros. It does contain a full list of the parameters though. I have not made any changes to the parameters...

First let me start by saying that this is the first CNC machine and controller that I have ever worked with, other then the home build CNC router I made.

I am hoping someone may be able to help...

Thank you for your quick responses.

Please forgive me if this has been covered already, but I am new to any sort of CNC controller, including Fanuc and I have question regarding the controller memory and the battery that keeps the...

My work has decided to pass on the Hurco. We are looking into getting a VMC instead.

What would be considered low hours?


Thanks everyone for you input and advise. Until I can find out more information about this particular machine and be able to see it in operation, I won't be...

If I could get the machine for a decent price, would it be worth while retrofitting it with a new or newer Fanuc control? What kind of price range would be the maximum I would pay for such a machine...

Really....a Control Techniques? I wonder why they are claiming it to be a Acramatic? How difficult are they to program?

There is a Arrow 500 with Acramatic controller, coming up at an industrial auction in the next couple weeks and I want to go have a closer look at it during the inspection dates. I have no...

Thanks for your input. Looks like I will need to do some more thinking on this mill. If I could get it for $4,000 it might be a half decent starter machine if I am able to import gcode into it. ...

I am told they are from the late 80's and have been well maintained.

Only CNC experience I have is with a 3-axis router that I built myself that uses Mach3 software to control. I have used...

I have been trying to convince my bosses to invest in our first CNC mill for years now, instead of farming some jobs out to other shops, but they are so cheap, that it has been an uphill battle. ...

Looking for the electical schematic for a Easco Sparcatron 25 sink EDM machine. So far I haven't had any lucky with search the web. Was hoping someone here might have access to one that they could...

Thanks. I had a feeling that #2 might be abit undersized for that length of run.

Need some input from any Industrial Electricians out there.

My bosses have asked me to look into the cost of running a 3-phase 600V - 200Amp service to another part of the building, so we can run...

We have a Edgwick No.1 Simple-Mill (horizontal) at work that my bosses bought from an auction, for some strange reason:rolleyes:, years ago and I would like to get an idea of it's value so I can put...

True... but I want to take all the 2D plans for the project I am working on and turn them in to 3D models. This cam part with the groove had me stumped. :)

Kiwi...That looks great. Thanks. :)

Looks like I need to give learning Solidworks another go. Seems it could come in very handy.

I don't consider it cheating if it works. ;)

Well the original way I was told how to make this part was to take the scaled template that came with the drawings. Cut it out and wrap it around the...

Kiwi...That appears to be exactly what I am trying to do. What commands or steps in Solidworks did you need to perform to accomplish that? :D


What I had planned on doing to get this part...

I will give the slice command a try but I have a feeling the edge of the slot will not be correct. The edge or wall of the slot needs to stay at a 90 deg. angle in relation to outer surface as the...

I am a newb when it comes to working with Autocad in 3D. Could you explain abit how to do this? What info will I need to know about the helix to get it to turn out properly?

Thanks

I am trying to draw a 3D model of a part that I need to get CNC'd but I am stuck at a point and really could use some help from you AutoCAD guru's.

The part in question is a cylinder that has a...
