The issue started after we upgraded the memory. We will try the Zero Memory procedure. I will post back with results. Thanks for the help guys.

We have a 2000 model 4020 that occasionally gives us an error of "UNRECOVERABLE MEMORY ERROR AT 2FFE". This usually happens when we load larger programs from a ZIP drive. Does anyone have any...

I just spoke with Numatix and they hope to have a solution by the end of the week. If indeed a solution is found I will post back and let you guys know. @Scott_Bob, I agree with you on the backplot,...

@David Ferguson,
I have experimented with different arc on-off parms to no avail. Line on-arc off moves are fine but I get a small dwell mark which is unacceptable on some parts.

Thanks for the reply. It does not seem to be feed rate dependent. It does not matter if it is 10 IPM or 200. As far as the control goes I love it. Its smooth and FAST. It does everything as...

Hey all,
We have a 6030 with the Numatix retrofit. I love the speed of the control but we have issues with cutter compensation and I was wondering if any on here had any experience with this. When...

We are looking to fit chip conveyors to our 6030 machines. The jobs we are currently running are primarily aluminum. I am tired of flooding the floor and we need to have our machines running through...

Yesterday while jogging the machine I heard a crunching sound. On further inspection, I noticed the spiral ball screw cover was munched up. Can you replace this without breaking the ball screw loose?...

We found a burnt trace on the 1100-2h card where coolant had leaked down to it. We replaced that card and the machine will not cold start but it is no longer blowing fuse 14.

Thanks for the reply Neal,
On power up the tool carousel starts rotating. I can hit one of the turret keys to get it to stop. When I hit cycle start to cold start the machine, it blows fuse 14. If...

We have a 4020 yr. model 2000 with CNC88HS control. On start up the tool changer just continually rotates as soon as it is powered up. I can hit one of the turret jog keys to get it to stop. Any...

We do alot of surfacing on our Numatix equipped Fadal and the parts come out of the machine faster with a high degree of accuracy. The machine is also much smoother. Tool life has increased as a...

I looked at the mounts for the current servos and I believe I can make new mounts for the AC servos with no casting machining required. Please keep in mind that this machine is a Numatix retrofit and...

Flint was just in our shop last week and had every part we needed on their van. Richard Day is the tech that generally services our machines and is excellant. So when our machines need service, we...

Thats right, Flint machine is the authorized dealer in NC. Give them a call and ask for Richard Day. He is an awesome tech.

Mactec54,
Thanks for the reply. My machine is a glass scale machine so the encoders would not be used.
Thanks again

Hello,
We have been looking at replacing our DC servos with the AC servos from Automation Direct. The prices I saw listed include the drive, servo and cabling for around $1500. This is way cheaper...

OK so after cleaning the motor and tach brushes up the machine ran fine for 1 week. It started the stuttering again today every so often. Sometimes it would be in the positive direction, sometimes in...

Im glad you figured it out, but that board is expensive. We just replaced the bearings and loosened up the preload on the large worm gear and she is good to go for now. I guess time will tell if the...

Ours turned smooth but it took alot of effort to rotate. We backed off the preload a little and reinstalled everything. Its working good now but only time will tell if that was the cause. We also...

Very informative post little bubba. Thanks again. The original problem with the X-axis was that it would run away and the Amplifier would show a high speed ecb fault. We removed the servo and...

I removed the servo and cleaned the brushes on the motor and tach. They were extremely dirty. All is good now.
I know what you mean about the magnets on the tach. When we cleaned the X-axis motor...

Ok so I swapped drives on the Y axis and it still "stuttered" when jogged. That narrowed it down to the servo. I have removed it from the machine and by looking at it on the bench everything looks...

We tore the gear box apart and there was indeed a bad bearing, again. This is the second time in a year this has happened. When investigating the issue, one of the guys here removed the big worm gear...

iess525 helped with the issue I was having. He got me back up and running in no time at all. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thanks again!

Koshy helped me solve an issue with one of our Fadals. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. When he offers up troubleshooting advice, do what I did and call him.
Thanks again Koshy!

The issue has returned. It did the same thing on start up this morning. I can jog it around to get it to go away but it comes back. Anyone have any input?
Thanks

Man Im gonna tell you, when it rains it pours with our Fadals. My current problem is the Y axis is jerking. It completed a part just fine. I went to jog the machine and the Y axis was jerking bad. It...

Wow that was fast! It is the dual arm system and the oil is at the correct level and the color looks good. This is the motor and gearbox assembly that actually spins the carousel and it sounds...

One of our 2003 6030 machines has had issues with the motor and gearbox that spins the carousel. The first time it did it, it made a grinding sound and would not rotate. We removed the motor and tore...
