Does anyone know where to find the machine timers on an Acramatic 2100 control?
i.e Power on time, machine run time, etc.

First, you buy Compost 4 from GibbsCAM for about $3000 + yearly maintenance at $650.
Then you fly to beautiful SIMI Valley for training on the software.

OR - call your local GibbsCAM reseller,...

The first question would be, did it actually post the code correctly?
It may just be informational.

Otherwise, give the boys at Posthaste a call.
I played with it a little a few years back, and...

I can look in my archives, but no promises.
If I have them, they are paper and would need to be copied.
Let me know if you are still looking.

That really was a grip it and rip it machine.
Box way and roller pack with 200+ ft./lbs of torque.
I have worked with Hyundai-WIA machines that are pretty close, as far as cutting ability.
Take a...

Not sure if it is under tools/display/tool field select.
It has been a loooooong time since I have stood in front of one of those controls.
I may have some generic home screen setups that I used to...

If I remember correctly, the 30's were about the same as the 60's.
Not sure if I have any 30 manuals in my archives, but I can look if you are interested.
If I have them, they would be paper and...

#3901 is indeed the variable for number of machined parts.
I would presume that your machine has at least a few 500 variables, but I don't know the Chiron standard options.
Try #100=#3901 in MDI...

Assuming that your Mori is the basic Fanuc control with the Mori front end........

From the edit mode/program type in "O" plus a four digit number and press insert.
Some controls have the option...

The Custom Drill Cycle MDD is only the start of the process, and merely defines the cycle for the software.
The heart and soul of these would be the macros that actually make up the drill cycle....

Without the .txt file, you are screwed, because you need both to open the .pst file in Compost.
Once you have it open, it will be under forms/drilling.
Change the G84 to G88 and you are good to go.

Talk to your GibbsCAM reseller about getting a 30 day trial license for you to run at home.
It will work without a dongle and allow you to learn what you need.
He should know what options you have...

Since it is a Y axis machine, I presume that it is a live tool lathe.
That being the case, your local GibbsCAM dealer should be able to provide you with a mill-turn post for $500 + any mods you may...

eNET LT software will do what you need.
The software for four machines is $650 and the DB25 and DB9 serial to Ethernet connectors would be $18 each - plus shipping of course.
Be sure that you have...

First, did you try sending it to the G30 position in X, Y, and Z?
Then do the tool change.
If that works, then it should be a simple matter to add a macro.

However, if the machine has an...

Robot interface is always interesting, and you do want the robot to control the process as you stated.
We deal with two types of companies - integrators, and the people I affectionately to refer to...

Nothing that I can find in the parameters, so I would modify the tool change macro to change to low gear before the orient.
Of course that means the M6 Txx would need to be on a line by itself.
Not...

There is no Fanuc parameter that allows you to defeat the switches.
Some builders use a keep relay to allow you to temporarily disable the switches for setup.
Otherwise, the only way is to defeat...

Parameter 1201.7 unless it is a really old controller.
Even the 30 series use this.

I can look through my old manuals to see what I have.
Let me know if you are interested - as I would have to have them copied.
And, yes, the Dynapath is a weird duck, but it did have some redeeming...

Straight turning or mill-turn post?
I work for a H-W dealer and sell GibbsCAM, so I already have a post that works for these machines.
However, they are not free.

Sounds like he is trying to ouput code to the blueprint values, which would necessarily mean he needs to add the tool radius value and direction in his tool offsets page.
I have a few customers...

Any other alarms on the message screen right before that one?
I would start by ringing out the cable.
If that passes muster, you may need Fanuc to come in with various components to try.

My best guess is their is a prox switch that is not set correctly, or is faulty.
Check by the actuator and see if one or the other is lit up.

Is this consistent in that it stops at the same RPM change every time?
I don't think this machine would have a geared headstock, but you can check to see if the params for gear change are all the...

Incremental mode in a lathe is generally by U and W values as there is typically ni G91 available as when using a machining center.

When stopping at Z-40. this is during a move that would be going...

First, since you did not tell us the control, I will presume it is a Fanuc.
In which case, IJK are arc centers - IF the post is set up that way so changing that ouput will do you no good.

Second,...

I am assuming you still need help with this as there are no responses.
First, I would contact your local distributor and see if they can do the mods for you.
Either way, they should be able to...

Wondering if it could be chuck clamp switch (assuming it has them) or turret clamp switch.
You would expect an alarm, but I do not know that particular machine and control.
I would not think it is...

Presuming that the Haas is similar to the Fanuc version, you need two lines of G76 code for it to work.
Check a Fanuc manual for details, since you did not provide any thread or material details for...
