Yep, we have one machine with 10 spindles.....so we use 11 channels. 10 for the spindles 1 Master

yes Microsoft Windows.............. what do you think the operating system is behind the HMI. Embedded version of Microsoft Windows. I think if you push and hold either the number three or six key...

I know there's a way of doing it but it's normally in the protected area. What I would just do is use a G01 at the desired speed and just not use G00.

Sounds like to me it's a software issue within Windows. Do you have a backup of the control software to reload?

I would just download the free PDF manuals. They are very helpful. SINUMERIK 840Di sl/840D sl/840D HMI and SINUMERIK 840Di sl/840D sl/840D HMI-Advanced.
Siemens makes all of it available for free....

I've been playing with a friends new plasma cam and very surprised how easy cleanup is with their software. Had somebody just trace out an item, scanned it had 600 dpi and within three minutes we...

They small enough to ship in the mail?

You can find all kinds of YouTube videos if you want to see one run.

Working in a high production environment we need to keep close control of cycle time. Created this cycle timer that records five cycles and then gives you the average. Which is good when you are...

Is there a keyboard shortcut to do a screen capture on the 840D? Also what is the keyboard shortcut for windows?

If there is no built-in screen capture is it possible to install a screen capture...

Hard for me to believe. I've been working with them for 25 years. Our company just purchased another 10.

I know there used heavily in aerospace, automotive and firearms industry.

Don't see a dedicated section for Chiron. Is there reason there is not?

Last week I spent four days at Chiron America passing off some new machines for our company. Will be going back in two weeks...

WOW....that brings back memories. Always seem to forget that the Siemens control is just a PC. But we don't normally deal with com ports much anymore on the PC side. Most computers no longer even...

Make sure it's same com port # on 840D as on the pc

It's a brand-new machine and as far as I know no one has upgraded anything.

Is it possible that yours are networked and someone placed the files on the network so they're available on all your...

No I did not know that the PDF's are loaded into the control. Did find some help files but they are in HTML and are very limited.

Could you point me to where I could find them exactly?

Anybody have the PDF manuals for Mori Seiki MSX-711IV control. We just got a new one and everyone is fighting over the manuals. I'd like to have a PDF version if it's available so I can read it...

No it's not special 'embedded' version. Windows 7 can be made to work.

Good point this is something that would probably have to be tested out thoroughly.

You are correct about automotive piston. They are not only oval but they are also barrel shaped. The tolerances we generally hold at the highest point of barrel diameter are +- 7 microns. We use...

The other thing that is a concern to me is the proper shutdown of the operating system (Windows). There is a battery backup that supposed to shut down the operating system due to a power outage. But...

The fault did not stop the program from running.

The next day when I got back to the machine somebody had already figured out how to clear it. But nobody knows who exactly did it. Hate when that...
