Thanks for the response and yes they are radically expensive- I was quoted $600 and $900. We opted to go medieval on them with hammers and such to pound them back into shape and my guy actually got...

I hate the design of the back Fadal 6030 sort of 3 section telescoping chip guard or weighs guard. It is so freaking heavy, gets jammed up a lot and ours has just got a major buckle in it. Does...
We use this Spindle Force Test Gauge Cat40 And Bt40 | eBay
and it works well. What drives me crazy is that when our tech came in to replace the bellville washers one of our Fadal 6030's read 1600...

FADAL Repair / Technicians. We had a Fadal 6030 with a slight air leak in the Coalescing Filter metal bowl. A tech came out and swapped the $49 dollar part. I get the invoice today and get nailed...
Thanks Matt:
I am actually starting to understand this now and it does make sense. Another thing that we have found is that if I ask my programmer to let me know how long a job is going to take...
Thanks Tim- We are dumbfounded-
When you refer to acceleration, are you referring to things like tool changing speed and speed the speed of the tool when not cutting but moving between plunging...
Our shop uses Mastercam x5 and we run some pretty long tooling programs. We are really busy and need to swap plates at odd hours to keep the machines goings. Well, invariably if the Estimated cycle...
Hello Guys:
We are moving our 2002 Fadal 3060 from California to Gainesville, GA. I need to know what are some of the proper steps in moving the machine. We spent considerably time cleaning it...
I realize this post is really old but all the better to ask you how your SHIZOUKA SV-4024 Machining Center has held up in terms of reliability and such.
thanks
interesting-
by reinitialize do you mean just clearing the memory?
thanks
thanks-
yes we do have all programs backed up and on the HD of the computer we use to program the jobs as well as on disc.
We had a weird thing happen on our Fadal 3060- we were running a program that we have run often and mid-way throught the program the tool lifted up as if the program was done. It turns out that...
Koshy, the company I work for is located in Monrovia, California. Ever since we purchased our Fadal about 4 years ago we have had a lot of pretty substantial problems including the main board going...
awww, interesting?? but there is no number after it. For some reason when I use Visual mill to create code (for elogated nibs) that d is present. I do not tend to see it when i create code using...
When I created a file, the cadcam program I use creates a line. I do not understand what this command means.... example: T6 M6 D
What does the D mean?? I know what the others do, (tool 6 - and...
Thanks Dango for your help. Turns out that we had the new vector driver put in and we are up and running. It was my boss's call, his money so that is that.
One thing that I did learn from the...
Thanks for the heads up on Protec but I am in California- I will look for a good outfit in my area- I am a designer at my company and have been helping to set up the mold shop- my company will be...
Thanks Dango... well, we had Fadal come out and they determined the encoder was good and the spindle motor, the BAD news is they said it needs a new Drive, the large circuit board that costs $5000 - ...
The spindle on our 6030 will not turn on- we get the "C axis faults" error # 8 message... This just started today- We were correcting the spindle which would run in reverse- this is a new used...
We are running a vmc6030 and experiencing some intermittent problems with the zip drive- typically while loading a program from the disk to the mem or the Fadal we will either get a message saying...
Need help. The company I work for utilizes moldmakers to make molds that produce the products that we manufacture. Custom bar and floor mats, etc. It is increasingly difficult to find moldmakers...
Thanks. I will try doing that. I am not sure if bobcad has a chain gap setting but I will check that out Monday when I get to work- I do know that sometimes I can get things to pocket that wouldn't...
First of all I am not a cadcam operator but a designer that uses Bobcad 20, (one of the mold makers we utilize gave me a bobcad seat), to check my files for problems. Most of the designs have a lot...
I am having the exact same problem and was wondering if you ultimately found a good solution. I spoke to the creator of Interflux, he converted my files but to no avail. I did the same with a...
