    Hitachi Seiki

    Hi everyone,

    First of all, Im new to this forum and wanted to say hello to everyone.

    I have a Hitachi Seiki HT20SII with LX3 control. (1989)
    I dont know which software is installed but it looks really old.
    Is there a way to upgrade to a better Software? Maybe with some graphics and simulation?

    Would be great if someone could help me.

    Ragards,

    j_love

    I don't know what your looking for as far as graphics, but even the new NL's and NZ's dont have a way to watch the tool path with the machine locked. Frustrating I think. Robert

    thx for the reply.

    If you look at this manual http://www.yaskawa.com/site/dmcontrol.nsf/(DocID)/TKUR-5EKJA3/$File/TOE-C843-9.21E.pdf

    You can see that the simulation is also included in this "Compact Programming Function" upgrade.

    Can I get this from somewhere? does it work on all LX3BT? I have an LX3BT.

    I couldn't tell you, but that control is as outdated as kids using sticks to have fun. You should learn to attach links. I would assume that some one is building a retrofit that is certainly more friendly, I never liked that control (just personally). I think if you researched more you would find more specific results.

    Contact Yasnac directly, I think the phone number is 1-800-YASKAWA

    They should be able to help.
