Recently aquired a 1995 VF3 with pallet changer. Good clean machine. But it has no quick code. In fact, it has nothing I'm used to. When in program mode and switch to edit, it does not give the program in the 'box', no selection of the F1 to bring up the edit options. Screen stays the same looking, except the highlighted area goes to one word, instead of the line. I can edit one thing at a time. There are some basic edit commands on the program list page. I can duplicate a program, delete a selected block, etc. I got quick code from another VF3 at another shop ans loaded. but it is just like a program. Is there a parameter or setting to change to get at least the editing features? Only other thing is the machine in some rapids gives a over voltage alarm. I have changed the rapid in the program where the issue is to a maximum feed rate. Machine runs excellent other wise.
Other thing I have discovered is the spindle drive has been replaced with a 'after market' type, don't remember the brand, but no 2 speed gear box. Not an issue yet, but I'm sure it will have some low speed issues with bigger drill bits.
Anyway, main ? is the editing and or software issue.
Thanks.
