Hey Folks,

I have SL2 with a cable looking like RS232 (sorry, the thread says Ethernet, but could not edit the title) one, but the end is cut off. It goes to a controller (picture attached). Could somebody confirm if that's an RS232 and also, how it is possible to figure connector pin out.

Thanks, M

bare machine missing control and power console

SIP jig mills form 1950's on--had design and finish like objects of art
this machine is a confusion of wires and tubes
and the iso 40 taper quill drops when the hydraulic pump shuts down
about 50 lbs pull on quill handwheel is needed to retract into housing

gone is the elegant former design where axis motors were tucked
along side

machine was sandwiched into tight quarters and pics sub-optimal

Hey guys,

Having an issue with my TL-40. The turret moves forward normally but in reverse it seems to come out as if to index to the next tool but takes a few seconds longer, or never does and I get the alarm. I have checked all the switches and cleaned everything up and still the error.
Any thoughts?

Hey guys. I'm new to cnc. I run a mori mh63 with fanuc 18 software. I've read through all the manuals at work trying to learn everything i can. It was a lot to take in at first, learning a whole programming language and all. I've been at it about 3 weeks now and all the codes make pretty good sense. I'm really liking it. I'm really just looking for some pointers and what not. Also i was wondering about G codes above 99. We use G101 to zero out all axis's and g100 swaps out tools with the ATC but I can find no documentation on G codes above 99 so are these canned cycles that we programmed into the machine somehow? Sorry but its hard to find any good documentation on a machine this old.

Now that DIXI! is part of the DMG MORI group maybe its name could be added to the forum page. There aren't a lot of DIXI! machines around but maybe it would bring them out, just a thought

hey guys we have a DMG dmu 50...its only a month old here... my boss wrote some tool offset programs, one which was for slotting saws.... I am sure there is a place in the code on a line that starts with BL9903 that is for plugging in the approximate saw dia.


he is out today in meetings... so if anyone knows how to edit that code...it think it went something like BL990( 0, 1, -1, 0, 0.07874, 0.3, .0004, 0, 0.05, 0, 0, 3, 0.0004)

we have 4 saws were were using one is 1" dia, one is 1.25" dia and the other two are .636 "dia.....so that program above was made for at least ONE of them, and I figure we have to edit that program each time the saw dia changes.... I am running the 1" saw and it doesn't seem to offset in the tool calibration laser to the edge of that saw.


hope to hear from someone..

thanks

hi guys ! i have some funny day working on this lathe !
at firts i'm noobs with this german/italian/chinese lathe , after 2-3 year we started to got some issue with the Sub chuck Pression... we have changed the regulator/sensor !
when I try to transfer a little part from H to S the transfer work well
but when the diameter exess 2 inch the sub does not clamp at all ...and when I'm working on a bar and try to cut many parts(with sub transfer) the machine got a false position in X axis. the partoff tools have to be very short and may cause collission in the sub jaws ...I cant find a way to retrack the tool in the rigth position (tool change piont )
with all this german language its hard to find a way to do it

sometime i put big pression on the H chuck 40-50 bar .. and there is no mark of jaw on the part. ( H chuck got the original equipement )
if you got any idea let me know

I am trying to down load the dimension inspection report thru rs232 but I keep getting a alarm that says I/O devise. Do I need to use one of the ports in the back cabnet. If yes I have three ports in the back 1-9 pin 1-25 pin and 1- that looks like a large phone jack. This is very new to me. The machine is a mori nl3000 turning center that came with a reneshaw probe set up.


program looks like this


popen
dprnt[#110[24]]
dprnt[#111[24]]
pclos


Am I even close
Do I need to call what port I need to use like I have seen for other controls ?

G10L50 ???????
N20R1 ????????
G11 ????????

Thanks and Please help

I recently purchased a Maho600E machine, it looks brand new! The original paint has not even been worn around the cutting area, I can hardly even find any old chips on the machine. I understand it sat, in the machine shop (which owner retired) for yrs and was never ran because they did not know how to program.
The problem I have, is I have no MANUALS with the machine. It has no tool changer, also no tooling.
I should have no progamming problem, due to the fact it has a 432 control, which I have a simular machine with 432 contol ( it is a MH 1000 S 5 axes machine.
Does anyone know where I might find a Operators, Service, Parts, Manual for the 600 E machine ? S/N 63654 if that matters.

Thanks,
Regards Ed

Hello everyone,

I am desperately in need of Fanuc system files for my Hitachi Seiki VS50 with 16i. The flash rom was initialized and everything lost except the boot program.

Some of the missing files are Hitachi Seiki stuff and some are Fanuc stuff. I have managed to gather some of the files but they are mixed versions. They boot the control but hardware does not work, many errors, its just not right. I am trying to get the correct versions and save the mill from the scrap yard. It is my only mill and has been down for around a month. I am running out of money and options.

If anyone thinks they can help please let me know and I will post the files I need and the versions.

Thanks,
Eric

I'm purchasing a DMU 60 EVO with the turning and probing option. Can anyone elaborate on the differences between these controllers or offer a recommendation on which on to go with. I've spoken with the applications engineer but I'd like to get some feedback from other's who have first hand experience with them. I've never used anything other than Haas so any information or advice is much appreciated.


The three options:
-Siemens 840D solutionline
-Heidenhain iTNC530 HSCI
-Heidenhain MillPlus iT V600

We use a thread cutting tool with G03 to put in 38mm threads. It works great but I want to know how to figure out the feed and rpm for when I have to do larger or smaller threads someday, or we break that tool. I understand how to figure out feedrate and rpm with a tap. (RPM/threads per inch) I think. But with helical cutting that won't work out. I think I need to figure out surface feet per minute maybe.

Dear Friends,

We have a Mori Seiki SL 204 CNC Lathe with MAPPS MSG-501 Controller. Spindle and Servo Amplifiers are MDS-C1-SPM & MDS-C1-V2 Series from Mitsubishi.

Occasionally during CNC operation, Spindle would suddenly stop and rock forward /reverse for few seconds. CNC would then generate Servo Alarm "PR 003E" & the Mitsubishi Spindle drive "MDS-C1-SPM-260" show an alarm '3E' on its 7 segment LED display. To overcome this fault, we would do a total machine shut down and restart all over. Machine would again work good, until such time the above happens again.

From a machineries dealer, we picked up a used, but working Spindle Amplifier module "MDS-C1-SPM-260" (same as above model) and replaced it on our machine, to solve the above nagging issue.

But now when we start the Spindle with this 'new drive', CNC would instantly generate a "Servo Alarm PR 0032" & the 'new' Spindle drive shows an alarm 32 on its LED display. Alarm 32 = The IPM used in the amplifier detected "High current".

We were told, the replacement Spindle Drive is a good, working unit. So now, we suspect the parameters inside the two Spindle Amplifiers are different and therefore parameter(s) setup is needed for the 'new' drive to work good. Can we access to Spindle drive parameters from the MAPPS MSG-501 Controller? Does anyone have a procedure for re-establishing the parameters into the 'new' drive from the original one above? If & when this is done, we'll give it another go to try & see if the replaced Spindle drive works normal on our machine.

any ideas? thanks again everyone.
sam

Hello Maho fans!

I am looking for equivalently priced and featured alternatives to the Haas TM1p.
I like the Haas, except I would prefer better rigidity, a higher speed spindle and 20 piece tool changer.

I can spend about 25k on a used machine, however I am looking for a well supported low hour professional machine, not a bailing wire DIY kit.

Price as usual, is the final deciding factor, but I need to achieve a minimum feature set for this price as well.

I will be producing low volume prototypes and small batches. Working in plastic, aluminum, stainless, steel and a minimum work envelope of 12x12x12.

Here are my minimum specs/features so far:

Work Envelope: 12x12x12 or larger
HP: 7.5 hp to 15 hp
Rapids: +400 ipm
Spindle: +6000 rpm
ATC: 20 pc
Chip removal: Yes
Taper: Standard industrial taper, not R8
Electronic Probing: Yes
Upgradeable to 4th and 5th axis: Yes

So how about it, is there such a machine out there?
Thank you for your time!
Steve

I have a Mori Seiki MV-80B. Over last weekend the batteries died. Now the machine is missing the parameters. This is a first hand example of backup of backup. We had done a backup when the machine was installed, however we can not find that file any where. I have contacted Mori, they sent a request to Japan I should hear back in a "couple days". I was also advised that the copy from Japan would be a PDF. I don't really want to spend the weekend going line by line. If anyone has a similar machine that is willing to send me a copy it would be greatly appreciated.

Control MF-M5 (Fanuc 15MA)

Thanks in advance.
