spanner screw - on carriage manual feed gear - 10ee
Still restoring this 10ee. By chance is this spanner screw left hand? Trying to loosen it. It is on the larger manual feed gear. Update: Never mind. It is right hand and just needed a little more persuasion.- ToolCat

Threading hangs - Fanuc 11T

RPM outputs, main & live spindle, Fanuc 11T
Pulled the cap on the back of the live spindle motor. Tachometer Generator. No encoder on it otherwise. It must be the live spindle on this machine is meant for "feed per minute" only.- ToolCat

RPM outputs, main & live spindle, Fanuc 11T
11T with live tooling and C axis. On the PRG_CHK screen it displays ACT.S (actual spindle speed). Isn't it correct that while in milling mode it should be reading the live spindle rpm and in the lathe mode it should be reading the main spindle rpm? It isn't doing that. It is stuck on reading...- ToolCat

Threading hangs - Fanuc 11T
Determined even G1 would not work when in milling C axis mode. Look at the "actual speed". It is zero. So for test I set it to G98 (feed per minute) and now it will feed with G1. When in milling mode it is not reading the rpm of the live tool but is still reading the rpm of the main...- ToolCat

Threading hangs - Fanuc 11T
This is a 11T with live tooling and C axis. The live axis is spinning. It moves into position but then it just hangs here. It must be reading the G32 because it is showing it has a distance to go. I tried it with G84 and it does the same with it. Any ideas?- ToolCat

SV013 Improper V_Ready Off - Fanuc 10T
A breaker (CP1) trips with the SV013 alarm, and the control shuts down. Can you think of why M2 would cause cp1 to trip?- ToolCat

Fanuc 0M - What parameter controls rapid behavior?
Fanuc 0M I'm looking for a parameter controls rapid moves so that during a diagonal direction move, it will move in a straight line to the new location. Right now both x and y must be moving at the same speed until one of them reaches its location and then the other continues. So if the...- ToolCat
