I’m about to retrofit a small denford mill and a lathe, I have a Uccnc board I could use in the mill but I like the idea of having the same control in both, and Uccnc isn’t really ready for turn. The...

Hi I’m helping a friend who recently bought a knee mill with an Anilam 5000 control. It seemed to work ok at first except it often didn’t seem to turn on, but usually cycling the power brought it...

Hi I've got a VMC with a mits 520AM control. It worked fine last time it was used but I left it off for a few months and now when the control boots I get an Address Error SR=0004 with a bunch of...

Hi I have a VMC with Mitsubishi M520AM control.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to set my part zero position. There's a work offsets screen where I can enter the XYZ values in G54, 55 etc, but are...

Hi Viking,

Yeah sorry, I thought I'd wait until I knew that someone (actually, you!) had read this thread before posting info about my machine, since it's an old thread and I thought I might be...

thanks for the reply, sorry about the delay but I haven't had a chance to check this out on my control until now... unfortunately I don't see a 'teach' function anywhere in the work offsets page, is...

Hi Viking,

I know this is an old thread but I see that you have worked out how to drip-feed the Mitsubishi Meldas controls... I have a VMC with a 520AM control that I want to drip-feed, I'd be...

Hi, total noob with a VMC, been battling it for a while, I've got DNC working via RS232, I wrote a post for my CAM package, registered a bunch of tools in the chain and put in offsets, can home...

one other 'observation' (read: stupid thing I've done)..

I've been running this machine from a 3 phase extension cable up to now, I have a couple of these in the workshop so I can move welders etc...

Hi Rokkin,

thanks for the reply

unfortunately unplugging the fan made no difference, the display was still blank.

one interesting thing though, I accidentally plugged the CN4 cable from the...

I have a VMC with mits 520 control. I bought it last year from an automotive factory closure auction, to teach myself programming and also make the odd part.

After installation, I got a tech guy...

I've just picked up a PC based Burny control that I intend to retrofit to my plasma table. It came with one servo each for the X and Y axes, which is fine for my machine since it is driven from one...

thanks again for your advice.

I received my used MDS-C1-CV-110 from Korea today, it was immaculate- in fact I'd have thought it was new if not for the snipped off wires to the terminals. I fitted...

Thanks again for the info, I've purchased a used C1-CV-110 which should arrive next week, so hopefully that will cure my problem.

On the 4th axis front, your suggestion of using an SVJ2 drive...

Oh great, that's the info I was after, thanks very much.

I'm almost totally ignorant of these controls- I do know that all the drive parameters are sent from the control to the drives when powered...

I'm sure I rang them a few months ago and they were quite helpful.. maybe he was just having an off day, but he did make it absolutely clear I wasn't following the correct procedure by attempting to...

I just rang Mitsubishi european HQ in Germany to ask about the backwards compatibility of their drives, he started off quite helpful but then when he realised I wasn't an authorised service agent he...

I'm also wondering whether I can use a MDS-B-CVE-xxx to replace a MDS-B-CV-xxx

any idea anyone?

Hi, I have a Kryle VMC with Mitsi M520 control. I'm getting a fault 65 which refers to the 'rush relay'. This shows up as soon as the control is turned on, the PSU and drives all power up, then...

I know this is ancient, but I'm having the same problem- there are two relays in the psu, one is a large 4 pole with a removable case which I cleaned, but it made no difference.. there is a smaller...

As a follow-up to this thread, I got the machine finally wired up to the Galil (used 200 metres of wire inside the control cabinet..), enjoyed a fair bit more head-scratching (discovered that the...

For anyone else ever in the same boat as me, I'll post here how I fixed the problem- I called Hypertherm as Jim suggested, but they said it was definitely a fault in the arc transfer detection...

thanks Jim, I'll speak to tech support tomorrow (I called today but missed them, and as it was only 4.10pm I was pondering on the wisdom of a company being owned by its employees, until I realised...

I've just replaced my Powermax800 (+ PAC121 machine torch) with a used 1250 (+new T80M machine torch $$$!). I'm getting arc start, but no movement... the arc stays on for about 10 seconds before the...

Today I did start to wonder whether I'd made a bad decision going for the used 1250 and shelling out for a new machine torch when I realised I could buy a new 45 with machine torch for not much...

I meant T80M torch, of course. Like I said, it's nearly 3am...

Jim, sometimes you answer questions on these forums in less time than it would take to pick up the phone and call my local dealer! (and it's 2.30am here, so my dealer probably wouldn't pick up...)
...

Jim, it's a shame there won't be a torch upgrade for the 1250, I've recently bought a used 1250 to upgrade my cnc table but I need to buy a machine torch separately, so I'm looking at spending quite...

you must get through a lot of beer.. :cheers:

how much more memory does the Plus have than my one? Is there a big difference otherwise?
