Hi, i’m out for a new machine for my workshop and have received quotes from 4 manufacturers at this time.

Im looking at a 3 axis high rapid machine, will run mostly aluminium but some steel and...

Thanks Mike,
I finally solved the problem, it was something with my dnc program that caused it. I tried another DNC transfer software and it works perfectly.

Hi,
I have a small problem with my old Mazak ST-15 Fanuc 6T-B i think ( over 160 parameters ). I have a laptop with a USB-RS232 adapter using PCComm for file transfer. The rs232 cable came with the...

Hi, Yesterday i picked up an old Mazak slant turn 15 with fanuc 6t control. It worked nicely at the seller so we transported it back to my workshop and i got it powered up today. But now it wont run!...

Hi, i dont know what im doing wrong but i cannot access the R-parameters in the MON meny. I can access the other parameters just fine but when i type R it says invalid parameter entered. The reason i...

Thank you! We have only mesured the sensor with instrument when turning the motor by hand so that the magnet is passing the sensor.

Could it be an old program in the background causing problems?...

Ok found the problem with the Y-axis. The previous owner had accidently pulled a cable to the controller card for the Y-axis, causing the alarm. So that was easy! With the Y-axis working we found the...

Hi. Switched the amps between X and Y but still the same problem. Maybe the motor is bad? We have measured the motor but i shows nothing wrong there.

Thanks

Hi, We bought a Fadal 4020 -1997 yesterday. The machine looks to be in decent shape but with some issues. The previous owner told us he had some problems with the tool changer and when trying to fix...

Hi. I´ve just bought an old Fanuc Tape drill model FV ( 1980´s somewhere i believe ). Anyway, it´s a small nice little machine with decent strokes and 7 tool changer.

I do however think i might...

Hi. We recently got our hands on a Emcoturn 242. Now we are trying to figure out how to get the RS232 file transfer from the PC to work. Have any of you done this before? if so maybe you can point me...

Ok! Thats about 120km from me! It's impressive to see that you are replacing the turcite, i guess the scraping part is the worst. The best would be to have a machine with linear guides. Easier to...

Ok. Where are you located? I read a post where a guy activated diagnose D480 bit 2 and got his Leadwell MCV to run dripfeed.

But if i can't see the ladder it will be a problem :/

Thanks.
...

Ok! What kind of mods are we talking? I guess it's been done before, espessially theese days with CAD/CAM posted programs. Im generally a Heidenhain guy but this machine came up and cought my...

Hi again. I got some more information on the machine just now. It´s a 1987 year model with a Fanuc 0M-A control. He did´nt have any tape mode on the panel. I guess the DNC is out of the question :/

Ok thank you!

Thank you. Is there an easy way of telling what model of the Fanuc 0M that's installed on the machine? From a serial number or something. It would be great to know if it supports dnc.

I found this...

Hi. I'm planning of buying a MCV-0 with a Fanuc-0m control. The problem is that i usually run large programs via rs232 and from what i've heard the 0M has limited memory. Is this machine able to run...

Ok thanks.
Good to know! I was hoping of using the old control and drip feed my programs from the pc. A conversion is an alternative but the mill isn't really that cheap so it will be in my...

Hi. Im planning of buying a Dyna mite 4400 with the Dyna 44m cnc and i have some questions.

- Is it possible to drip feed programs from my ext pc to this control? Is there an easy setup, maybe i...

Ok. An update if any of you would trip on this in the future.

I have taken another look at my monitor and found a "test" button behind it. This was something the older versions of the monitors...

No problem.. The NC seems to be broken. I have done some measures tonight and the powersupply card control LED´s on the NC pulses dark green as long as i have the processor board connected. When i...

UPDATE!

The monitor is still black without the monitorplug from the controller.

But none of the fuctions on the machine can be moved. I talked with an Heidenhain repairguy and he said it was...

Hi.

We recently bought a Mikron with tnc355 control. Everything worked fine until yesterday when i was starting up the machine.

First i saw some yellow lines flipping around on the monitor and...

Hi.. Yes i ran the program and it worked just fine, for me it looks like the 355 counts 999 lines and then begins from 0 again.

Thank you for the input.

/Johan.

Hi..

I´m just wondering how many blocks you actually can transfer to the machine via drip feed?

I remebered i read something about 65xxx blocks stated by Heidenhain. Is this correct? I thought...

Gus. No i think it´s the 151 or the 155 that accepts the drip feed. I guess you´re right about the post processor. I only have the PP that was included in the cam software. Is there any way to modify...

Damn, I was told it was a complete controller, but when looking at it closer i see that it´s missing something. :/ sorry for the post!

Maybe i can sell it to a school or something.

/Johan.

I have got my hands on a fully working programming station from heidenhain.

The station is called : LE426 L Id,no: 313 735 - 05 and the control panel: TE 420 L id,no: 313 733 - 01.

As i...

Hi. Ok but in my case the heidenhain is´nt using G-codes. My programs consist of 0 BEGIN PGM 1 MM 1 TOOL DEF and so on. So i need a splitter that counts the lines in the file and splits it before it...
