    How do you turn on the 4th Axis Option?

    Thanks for your help!

    4th axis is WAY more than just an option parameter. You need the drive, cables, 4th axis, parameter set up to control the 4th axis properly. Don't ever remember having to turn on an option parameter installing a 4th.

    4th Axis

    This is a 1985 Mori Seiki MV80 VMC w/ Yasnac MX1. It has the driver, cables, and 20" Koma Rotary Table. But the Parameters are not there. When you go to the recommended address, no bits are shown. I suspect someone took the rotary table off at some time and just didn't re-install it properly.

    Most likely, everything is still in the CNC, but the additional axis address is switched off. When I bought my P&W (read Hamai) TriMac VMC it had a 15" Tsdokoma table that they wanted to keep. So when I got the machine, I had to go into IPL mode and tell it that it was a 3 axis VMC and not a 4 axis. Once I did that, the additional drivers and boards went into a "standby mode" and the machine operated normally. That was 10 years ago, never had a problem.

    Re: 4th Axis

    Do you have the parameters you can send me? We are trying to set up a 4th axis.
