So if found a decent deal on VMC 15xt with 88hs control. The only issue is the control will not hold the parameters (whatever they are??) according to the seller. Now i know very little about these industrial machines and don't actually know what the parameters i have to reset would be? is there like a list of machine travels i would need to know? I do know how to run a cold start on the machine and it is under power for viewing.
I am currently stationed in California so my dad is going down to look at the machine on Wednesday and ill get an update on it. Is there anything specifically he should check out on the machine? The owner said that the axis do all jog but like stated will not hold parameters. Also how easy are these to move we have a 5k lift with 4ft forks but im thinking that wont lift it so we might rent a forklift and drop it on my dads trailer and then it will just be interesting getting it off with the small lift.
Some machine specifications if it helps.
1999 Fadal Vmc 15xt
88HS control
7500 rpm spindle
10hp spindle (owner says its single phase?) I assume no rigid tap.
in the end im hoping to have a affordable small machine that i will be satisfied with and get rid of my excello 602 cnc "project"
