I really appreciate that!

Thats where it get's hung up as well, and I have it hooked up to the control box. I'm starting to wonder if I need a PCB0007 or PCB0008 board in order to use the control...

Yes, no change.

So I'm working on hooking up a Yuasa SUDX indexer to a FAdal 4020 with the 88HS controller. I have 3 sample programs, 2 from Yuasa and one pulled from a post on here.

the problem that I'm having...

Got an old VMC-15/904-1 that uses an old gusher style pump that cools the spindle (antifreeze) And the pump is dead. Anyone have any recommendation on a replacement? Someone said to use a fountain...

Looking for some ideas on excel templates for tooling costs, production and tool savings.

Just seeing what other people use for a format, or template.

thanks!

I currenly use the 1010 series boards. I just didn't know if there was a big change between a 1010-4A and a 1010-6A board. I can get one for $290 reman and the other is $790 reman. if they're the...

What is the difference between a 1010-4A and a 1010-6A board? I see the reman price between the two is a big difference and if they interchange.....Then why not go with the cheaper board? There must...

tried sending a PM but says your inbox is full.

You're literally just down the street from me...small world

Is there much of a difference? I have a 4020 that has a bad 1010-6A board and another 4020 that needs a ballscrew and that one has a 1010-4A board. Anyone know if they would interchange?

Thanks!

Billsnogno,

Did you get a power supply changed out in your Fadal yet? Mine was virtually plug and play.

Also, I see you're in Brooklyn Park......small world, what shop are you at if I may ask?

Ah I got it figured out, silly mistake. When I was inputting the parameters, I changed the parameter to have the machine read in Imperial instead of Metric. I changed that back and everything is well...

Parameters:

17: 01010101
18: 01010101
19: 01010101

17, 18, and 19 should respectively be X, Y, and Z

30: 8000
31: 8000

347100

Here's the servo on the Z axis, trying to see what the pulses are with this servo. I'd like to guess that it's 2000 since "2000M" is stamped on the tag. The other number is "M-412132"

Hey Guys,

Brought back to life an old Kitamura Mycenter1 with the Fanuc 3M control. Everything appears to be in working condition except when I jog the axis, the control reads greater than what...

Just like the title says. Looking for something to etch SS, Boss Laser has some video's of them showing they can etch into SS with a coating that you can wash off. But are they really that much...

Just a heads up incase anyone else is doing the same thing. I removed the 1220-3 board entirely and wired in a PC power supply in it's place. Works like a charm!

got a 1993 Fadal VMC15 with CNC88 that I just got going over the weekend. Working on running it with DNC. Ran a few programs and have a few questions regarding an issue. The main issue is that when...

Hey BurrMan

Yeah if you could elaborate more on making a volume, that would be great!

Hmmm, Interesting. I'll have to dig more into how to add volume to the surface....

Actually that works alot better!

I wanted to export as an IGES then convert it to an STL file in another CAD program. But if I can do a straight up STL from BobArt, then that's sweet!

I want to...

Hey Guys,

Playing around with BobArt V24 and was wondering if I can export an embossed image from BobArt out as an Iges?

Matt

Got it figured out, motor on the through spindle coolant was bad. Got it to keep from tripping the circuit breaker, but I still don't have any video feed and doesn't respond to inputs.

This has an...

I have a VMC40 that keeps tripping the CB4 circuit breaker on the 1100-1 board. I got this machine as a 'dead' machine. It does power on when you flip the main breaker, but no picture to the monitor...

hey guys,

wondering if Fadal boards can be used by superceded part numbers? I have an older 904-1 machine with a questionable power supply. The board number is 1220-3. I've seen some 1220-4c...

I must be missing something simple but I have BobArt V24 and I'm starting to play around with it. I selected the emboss file from Image, successfully embossed how I wanted it, but I'm trying to save...

Hey Guys,

I'm an apprentice mold maker doing work with vacuum forming and rotomold tooling. Our facility currently uses Milltronic machines. We have 3 machines with a 5000RPM max and one with a...

Ya, alas I'm just starting out learning about macros. I understand the purpose of them, but don't understand the language and variables quite yet. I deleted my questions because I found it somewhat...

Still learning about digitizing, but could a person use a Blum TC-52 probe on the cnc machine (using some sort of software) to digitize a part on the fixture?

:confused:

Mods please delete this. I concluded that I have asked very vague questions to which I wouldn't aquire the answer I would be looking for. I will restate my questions with more info. Thanks
