    Re: MB3 Y axis run away

    Look for the Opto board. Little PCB with 8 pin chips on it (8 chips if I remember correctly). TIL119s.
    One of those may be stopping the Z running in one direction.

    Re: MB3 Y axis run away

    If the count direction is correct, it could be the tach wires have been swapped.

    Can you find the x10 boards in the box that the scale plugs into and take a pic of the inside connections?

    Re: MB3 Y axis run away

    Sounds like the phases are swapped on the output of the scale. Does it count in the right direction relative to movement?

    Linear scale phuct. Try swapping the X10 cards.

    Re: My First Mill - Hurco KM5 Issues

    On the diskette, there is a hole with a slider for write protecting the disk - the hole you need to cover is on the opposite edge. Do a Google for DSDD disks and look at a pic of how it should look.

    Max 2. The floppy drive isn’t a high density drive, it’s a double density. Try covering the second hole on the disk with tape and format it on the machine.

    Yep, that’s loose gibs.

    It’s counterbalanced so it won’t fall hard unless the chains snap.
    The gib strips hold the head back into the Z slideways. There are two behind the head and one on the inside between the side slide....
  10. Re: Hurco BMC30/M (Ultimax 3) - Stuck at 'machine config' F8 button not working

    The bouncing is loose gib strips on Z.
    Tighten them properly and it will stop. Until then, push upwards hard on the head when it hits Z + limit until it finds reference.

    That’s not a battery, it’s the chip that stores the options. If you take it out, your options and ability to boot will disappear. Later software and CPU change to a Peak 715 no longer requires the...

    Re: Hurco spindle brake problem

    Electrical brake at the top of the motor. Disconnect the wiring to the brake and put a meter between the three wire to see if one winding is short. Then check each wire to ground.

    There is a listing available from Hurco that will tell you what the LEDs mean. You’ll also need to see what the LEDs on the sockets of the XMP card are doing too.
