Can someone tell me why the screen freezes while machining through a program on my VMC6030HT? It has done this since new but at times the problem is worse than others.
Thanks,
Matt

Does the machine keep machining the part and is the resultant part accurate? How old is the machine and what is the current software version?

The machine is a 2005. Accuracy seems to be fine. I will have to check and see what software is in it. Where do I look to find it?
When it come to an M01 say, and the machine stops, you can press the spacebar twice and the program is shown again in the proper place where it stopped at the M01. Hitting cycle start at this point allows the machine to carry on as normal. The screen may freeze again a few more times throughout the program it may not.

This may be a CPU or expanded memory card issue. To find the software version type MU at enter next command. Select the last page of the Menu. Look for the ID number. This is the software version.
There is a possibility that doing a Zero Memory procedure might help. Call me or send me an e-mail and I'll get the printed procedure to you.

Sorry for not posting sooner. Been busy in the shop. The software in the machine is version 102.1
I had this problem with my new TRM.
The factory rep told me to remove, and re-seat the boards.
This machine bounced it's way across the country on a truck, and spent five months in a container before being fired up.
Machine has been fine since.
