No post on this in almost 12 years but the press brake still works but I would like to do some upgrades.

Right now it only has a single control valve and a single encoder on one side of the ram....

I checked the voltage on the MDI/CRT power supply. I was only getting 3.5 from the 5v. I pulled the power supply and found it had a melted capacitor and resistor. I swapped those out but that did not...

Control is a 11m. I will check the power supply today.

Is there any specific test I can do on the crt to make sure it is good/bad? Why would the button lights on the control stop working when the crt started flickering?

Machine is a 86 Mori Seiki mv35/40. I noticed yesterday the screen was bouncing up and down a bit and none of the control button lights were on. This happened around mid day. Tonight the screen...

They are similar but not all the same. I Probably could of made that one worked with some mods. I played with there post editor and could not figure it out. Siemens controls are totally different...

I was just in this same boat. I did demo Sprutcam but had issues with errors once it was installed. I downloaded a different version that worked after that. Make sure it has the posts you need for...

I got it figured out. There is some kind of air oiler on the side of the machine that goes directly to the spindle. It was tripped from shutting off the air. I reset it and it works fine now. When...

Air is hooked up. Pressure is good. No messages on control.

I just bought a 86 35/40. I hooked it up yesterday and it ran fine for around 15min then the hydraulics shut off. I hit the on button and they start back up but shut back off after a few seconds. I...

I decided to buy it. I had it delivered to my shop today. I should be able to get it leveled and powered up this weekend.

I am looking at buying a 1986 Mori Seiki MV 35/40 from a local shop. Machine has a Fanuc 11m control and a 10k rpm belt drive spindle. Machine has 32k on time and 14k run time. Is this a lot? What...

I was cutting some 3/4" plate the other day and I was almost done with my cut when I noticed a small flame coming out between the retaining cap and the shield. My nozzle went at the same time. I did...

No voltage divider. Tom uses RAW arc volts. Maybe he can enlighten us on why he uses raw instead of divided.

The CandCNC has to have RAW arc volts. So no direct plug and play.

The torch is square I have it mounted in a clamp aorund the retainging cap. I would of bought a machine torch but I still use the machine by hand and did not realy have a extra $600 laying around for...

I got my Powermax65 last week and got around to hooking it up and doing a few test cuts. Cuts are on par with the 45 but I can go a lot faster now. 3/8" and 1/2" are much better with the 65.

All Consumable parts are new and it still leaks. What do I do now?

I hooked up a air nozzle after my final filter and I am getting plenty of volume.

I still have not found the problem yet. I have called tech and they said it sounds like a air problem also. I have checked everything and the only leak I found is air coming out the top of the...

I have had my powermax 45 for about a year now and it has been absolutely awesome until the other day I started cutting bad. The arc would stop cutting through the plate in spots, way more edge taper...

I think I have around $8k into it.

I am just starting with Toyota. I will have others later.

So today I bent up my first project. This is the reason I built the brake. I have other products planned but these will be them main thing that I will be building. Even though this thing has a lot of...

I figured it out.

It is very simple. I am using mach for just point to point. The backgauge is X and Y and the ram is Z. I am using simple g code to run it. No actual angles calculated in mach. I just tell the Z to go...

Finally got some more time to mess with it. I bent up a bunch of test pieces getting everything dialed in. I bought Solidworks 2010 this week so I am trying to get the K-factor dialed in on the...

Here is the amp part number. I bought mine from Newark for about $20
796271-1

Ya, that's what I meant. I must of had a dyslexic moment. I would edit the post but for some reason it will not let me.
