    Re: Fanuc 15MB no start-up

    UPDATE: The problem has been solved. I did have a phone call with Fanuc and the person I spoke with was confused about the sequence of the LEDs. At the end of the phone call he realized that I had...
  2. Re: A16B-1212-0871 Fanuc PSU testing and repair

    I am having the same problem as MikeD51. It seems like a "simple" issue of the CONTROL OFF circuit shorted to 0V. If there's some way to power the machine up without losing our data, it would really...

    Re: Fanuc 15MB no start-up

    We did attempt to get into the IPL, but were not able to do it. I tried "Page Up" + "Page Down" and "Cursor Up" + "Cursor Down", and "." + "-", but nothing made anything appear on the monitor. It...
  4. Re: HiCell CA40II - tool registration by program

    Hey Nifty, I don't recall ever seeing your response before now. But it appears you're correct. According to my programming manual, it would be G10 L20 P0300 Q0500 for tool #3 in turret position #5.

    Re: Fanuc 15MB no start-up

    Hi mayke18214, thanks for the reply. The battery is just above 3V. The only other unit in the rack is the PMC-NB board (A16B-2201-0851). The main board LEDs all light at the same time when we power...

    Fanuc 15MB no start-up

    This is a 15MB control on a Monarch VMC. Last night when the operator turned the control off, the CRT did not turn off. He shut down the main machine power. This morning, when I went to start up the...
  7. HiCell CA40II - tool registration by program

    HiCell CA40II with an 8-position turret and 24-tool carousel in the back. Typically if we load a tool into the turret manually (because it is too big for the ATC), we dedicate that turret position to...

    Re: Okuma G04 dwell time remaining display

    Thanks OkumaWiz. My other machines (Fanuc, Seicos) have the countdown and you can't miss it. It just seemed like common sense to me. Oh well, it's not a big deal, just a nuisance. I guess I'll stop...

    Okuma G04 dwell time remaining display

    I have an Okuma MX-45VAE with OSP-U100M control. When I use the dwell code G04, I cannot find on any screen where it displays how much time has elapsed or how much time is remaining in the dwell. Is...
  10. Looking for an old Kendex turning tools catalog

    Anyone have a Kennametal Kendex catalog from the '80s or early '90s that they'd be willing to part with?
  11. Re: MX-45VAE operator's panel/keypad disassembly

    No one knows how to get the panel apart? I thought this would be an easy one.
  12. Post processor, first operation - operation comments

    I have three post processors for three different machines from IHS. One of them (for a Fanuc 15M control) will not post all lines of the operation comments for my first operation. It will post just...
  13. MX-45VAE operator's panel/keypad disassembly

    Does anyone know how to remove the bezel around the keypads on Okuma operator's panels? One of our keypads needs cleaning underneath and/or it has shifted and is not lined up properly with the...

    Re: Rigid tapping thread form is not correct

    Well, G284 is a valid code on my machine, but doesn't make a difference in the thread. I did 3 holes on Friday: one tapped with G284, one hand-tapped with the machine tap, and one hand-tapped with a...

    Re: Rigid tapping thread form is not correct

    G56 H70 Z4.

    Re: Rigid tapping thread form is not correct

    Thanks for the reply deadlykitten. Using the tap to hand-tap was one of the things I plan to try. It is a brand-new tap from a quality manufacturer. I don't have any floating holders of any kind to...

    Rigid tapping thread form is not correct

    I don't recall having problems tapping on this machine before (MX-45VAE OSP-U100M), but I am using a fine thread machine tap for the first time and the crests are too large, but the minor and major...
  18. Re: Installing tools to/removing from ATC magazine - Okuma MX-45VAE

    Awesome answer underthetire. Thanks. I did have a thought to check the tool box, but I hadn't. Unfortunately, we don't have the tool as we bought the machine used. I don't know how I would find the...
  19. Installing tools to/removing from ATC magazine - Okuma MX-45VAE

    I've always installed tools to my Okuma by putting them in the spindle first and loading them to the ATC magazine from there. I want to be familiar with loading them directly into the magazine as...

    For anyone who's curious, I ran a test program. I was able to make Mastercam insert the Z values for pecking by choosing multiple points at the same X/Y location, but different Z locations. Then I...

    Peck tapping on an Okuma MX-45VAE

    This machine has OSP-U100M control. I understand that newer controls have a G282 code for peck tapping, but it doesn't seem that I have that capability. I am assuming you could peck tap with some...

  24. Union horizontal boring machine - facing chuck inoperable

    We have an old Union horizontal boring mill that we inherited. We haven't used it in a long time. I don't even know what model it is, but probably something like a BF (it's a manual machine). We...

    Re: Okuma MX-45VAE ATC arm throwing tools

    I suspected, based on the values in the torque limiter table, that this would not slow it down.

    The arm alignment was the only thing I thought I should definitely check. Based on our experience...

    Okuma MX-45VAE ATC arm throwing tools

    On Friday, our Okuma ATC all of a sudden started chucking tools during the tool change. It seems to be the tool coming out of the spindle that is being thrown. We replaced the arm about a year and a...

    Solved!

    We're not exactly sure why, but the z-axis moved during the collision, even though it wasn't involved in the collision. So the z-axis was not in the tool change position. So it was a chicken-and-egg...
