I'm running a Dell Precision M6700:

Core i7-3840QM @ 2.8GHz w/ 8 cored
24GB RAM
Quadro K4000M w/ 4GB dedicated RAM
128GB SSD
17" IPS panel display (WELL worth the upgrade)

Which is about $300 too rich for my shoe string shop. :(

Here are the manuals I have.

Edit: Here's the link to what I've got.

Shekar is correct. The EIA/ISO option is a ROM change. However, there will also likely be a new system diskette, if the M2 has a floppy.

So far, it's been about $2K. My...

Use a chain/belt relationship.

Bill,

Thanks, I guess :( , for the info. I guess that means I'll be looking for a Mazatrol native CAM solution.

What? I don't follow at all. Are those settings on the PC side or the machine side of things?


Also, I'm getting two alarms:
1) 887 TAPE I/O ERROR
2) 548 NO EIA/ISO OPTION INSTALLED

My guess...

MrMazak,

Thanks! Any tips on setting the machine up for tape mode?

Probably a stupid newbie question but, a question none the less. Where is the tape port on an M32 control? I've got a VQC 15/40. CMT from control to PC is working correctly but, no tape mode.

Any...

Hello all!

I just purchased a Mazak VQC 15/40 and it came with all of the manuals except the programming manual.

Being new to CNC and Mazaks, I'd really like to find a copy so I can start...
