    Cnc newbie , day 3 of trying to make a fagor 8040m talk to bobcad/predator/windnc

    Im currently doing a search on the fagor alarm1057 ( sub-routine ) that is preventing me from homing the machine , it use to home then i deleted 3 part files that i had created and sent to cnc from windnc . Ever since then , i get a 1057 alarm . Odd ......& some how I have 2 of those files i deleted on my desktop screen .

    Before I got myself involved with alarm 1057 , i was on the phone with the folks at bobcad ( mike , darren and cody ) and ( Yuli and Mohit ) Fagor canada . Bobcad guys are having a problem connecting predator to fagor with no results . After i downloaded windnc and got cody from bobcad on it we started to see some files arriving at cnc .
    Fagor canada has insisted that the part files be in 6 digit .pim format and we did that . Only some ( not all ) would show up at cnc . Moreover , these files wouldn't run . first was a x axis ( softlimit ) alarm , Fagor said to take G54 out of the code & so I was presented with a y axis ( soft limit ) alarm after that .

    My knowledge of cnc is limited , my knowledge of cad/cam consists of 227 mind numbing bobcad/cam training videos , i understand the basics of electrical and plc and this is the first machine of 3 im trying to bring online in my garage .

    Too cheap to hire someone to do er , im getting the feeling that this is going to be a very educational experience .

    This being my first post , Id like to say hello ......the gentlemen at bobcad had alot of nice things to about this board

    Regards
    Scott

    Im getting alarm 1155 x axis soft llimit over run . The fact that i zero my table in the center , try and run a part , return to the XYZ axis screen and values are back to " home position " zero values is troubling .

    any ideas ?

    There are some existing programs on fagor that were generated at HMI , those part programs work as they should without any alarms .

    thanks

    Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having similar issues. Did you get a proper post from BobCad?
