Hey, I have the Phase Perfect and the transformer running and Ive put power to the MB-20 (cent 6) mill and Ml-14 (cent 7) Lathe. I don't seem to have "let the smoke out" and this is a good sign. :-)
The mill: it woke up fine and after its dignostics had a nice home screen, after a reset I set it to home. It seems to do fine, the Z axis climbing to Just over 20 and then the whole table moving forward (-y) and to the left (-x). about 30 seconds after the reset under any condition a loud 1hz beeping sound is emitted by some kind of piezo buzzer at the top of the machine. Nothing in the literature appears to cover this. What is it?! Under the beeping condition I've been able to manualy jog in all axes and run the spindle to various RPM's in CCW and CW fashion. This unit is a manual tool changer, there is no tool (CAT40) in it at the moment, pressing the in/out button for tool change gains me nothing (air pressure 105 PSI).
To Recap:
1. Da beep?!
2. tool change?
3. How to lock/unlock the quill? (seems dumb, but I am a big guy and accidental destruction is my forté).
The Lathe: Woke up fine leaving a good start screen. Woudn't home (moves to far right and crashed into tailstock triggering a stop). Manual said to override and manually jog to left to get around an overlimit condition. X and Z axis jog motion work fine. Can't seem to get far enough in the program to spin the spindle yet. Won't really home now also. Trying to get it in a home condition and I get left in a screen that I can't escape from. It reads as follows:F1-Teach F2-Prog F4-Angle F5-AngOn F8-Run-T F9-Tool F-10 G54-Z. 4 & 5 are greyed out and the reset light is on and doesn't respond to pressing. Only way out is e-stop. Then I get the home screen after reset and when I hit 'home' I am looped back to the above.
To recap:
1.Don't really think it has homed yet
2. Looping program ( I probably do not understand the function)
3. Havent spun the spinlde yet.
Any help or advice would be appreciated, you can mail this forum or call if you like 480-227-4125
BTW - the Phase perfect is quiet - but it kicks out a very high pitched continuous whine (a bit higher than cricket chirping) that requires ear protection. A thump on the head to them for not deadening what seems to be an otherwise nice product.
