I came up with a work around where i could not orient 180. Needed for probe calibration. the work around is writing a new value to the "spindle orientation stop position shift" parameter this parameter number is the same in the 18iMB and 31i series controls. I just checked manual #B-65280EN/08...

I have had that type i/o unit come unplugged. The individual units I mean. As you can imagine you lose everything on that unit. See if reseating them gets you anywhere.

If you contact Fanuc, they can help you diagnose it. I have an 18iMB here that was doing strange things on Mondays before finally evolving into a black screen and showing 900 rom parity. Again, only on Monday mornings. Once up, it would run all week. That evolved into no worky worky period. no...

if we gotta have a necro, lets get back on topic Has anyone tried the new Iscar swiss with the switchable heads? Kinda like the Sandvik QS.

Sorry I usually dont click links, especially to MyFace™ so I cant see what was shown. They are great machines for electrodes and hardmilling core cavity work, so I am told. Are you looking at a green one or a newer black and white one. I believe the green ones shared some architecture with the...

what are you saying? You are looking at buying one? Makino used the SNC64 model name for a long time for machines that were quite different but the same.

I am not real experienced on the non i 16/18 controls, but I believe the encoder is serial on that machine. The only way to see the "channels" is with a check board plugged into the drive. You should be able to see the output of the scales though. And if you are getting an excess following error...

what was the alarm? and is it a non " i " 16?

I think you have to run "mori server" software on a pc on the network. Like Seymour says

is it for teeth?

run a repeatability test for turret index positions.

I had a 92 Monarch mill with a B. Reason I ask is I think the ladder types A vs B are different. "A" being much more difficult to deal with today. Memoryman would know. Something significant is different between them.

You can write out of the program through the RS232 port with Dprint. Search the forum for that. you already have the relay triggered by m-code. M08 is one you can piggyback onto.

15MA or MB?
