    Mori MSG-805/Meldas 64 Live Tool Lathe ABS Zero Questions

    Im not sure if the 803 is the same as the 805 but I answered your question on your Youtube comment if you have not seen it already. For what its worth, I have all the original manuals for my 805 and they dont have a lot of detailed service information in them so if what you were looking for...

    Looking to move into an industrial machine, and looking for the right machine for the job. Seeking people smarter than I to help guide me.

    You can use a DNC connection on the older machines to handle the larger programs than the memory will handle. The issue I have ran into with 3D surfacing on older machines is transfer speed and total lines of code. The total lines of code issue is not a memory related issue since the DCN...

    Looking to move into an industrial machine, and looking for the right machine for the job. Seeking people smarter than I to help guide me.

    I second the Fanuc advice. The first machine I bought was an early 90s Fanuc Mori, the learning curve was short and the minimal maintenance I have had to do was easy to find help with online. I have since added newer Mitsubishi based Mori and Mazak machines, and while newer and nicer are a...

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    Attached are the other relevant settings. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m using the 5 on DVC1 or the 3 on DVC2. This is the first time I have looked at it since I got it to work a while back. I remember it not working with the settings readily available in a google search. If you refer to...

    Bidspotter auctions - How To?

    That is the one I would have picked from that lineup too. I saw that one was made in Japan, after the merger was it the dura series that moved to California?

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    Also, I meant to note that I received a ram error like that once when running the dnc on a really long program. I think I had exceeded the number of lines the machine can process. I got to like 99,999 and it shit itself. I restarted the control and edited the file to reduce the number of...

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    If it helps, attached are images of my 5000 parameter settings for dnc that are working for me with dnc4pc. I’m not using a cal motion device so it may not help with that but dnc4pc has a free trial so you could atleast use it to test it out to see if it’s a parameter issue or something with...

    Bidspotter auctions - How To?

    I agree with all the point others have made but want to point out the difference between Bidspotter and the auction house. It sounded like some were referring to bidspotter as the auction house, but they are just the platform; in this case IRS auctions is the auctioneer. The auctioneer has...

    Looking to upgrade my Autocad, need advice.

    I don’t think these guys are referring to the “3D” functionality in basic AutoCAD, they are referring to parametric modeling programs like Solidworks, Inventor, Rhino, Fusion, ect. Different animal. To be blunt, the 3D tools in Autocad suck. Pretty much worthless in my opinion. It’s 2D...

    Looking to upgrade my Autocad, need advice.

    Could not agree with this more. There is a place for both types of products to keep efficient. I run Fusion and several of the 2D AutoCADs, mostly Mechanical and Map3D; sometimes electrical. It depends on the type of parts I’m working on. Regarding the OPs question of how different is 2023...

    Send me an email address for the manual, the file is too large to attach.

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    I would recommend following this step again too before changing parameters just in case something didnt take. I am not familiar with the process and others may be able to provide some insight into whether you should try it or not but below is the parameter 1815 detail. It sounds like you are...

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    I don't believe you can write to the 1900 parameters. I think the control may write to them but not sure. The parameter detail manual I have is silent on all of the 1900 level parameters, it jumps from 1890 to 2000. I do know that when I had to do a parameter restore I did not mess with...

    Coolant Through Lathe Tooling Pressure

    Thanks guys, that is exactly what I was looking for. I am only running flood and wash down pumps right now. Currently I route boring bars and indexable drills if they have coolant passages. Even with the low pressure it seams to help. I am happy to hear some are reporting gains with...

    Coolant Through Lathe Tooling Pressure

    At what pressure do through coolant external lathe tool holders start to be worth the hassle? Or are they not worth the hassle?

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    Your factory parameters and the timer and keep relay settings listed in section 3.2 should get you started on the tool changer. I would ignore that Fanuc cassette unless it gives you problems. I am little surprised you didn't get an external device alarm from the robot being detached but...

    Need basic 2d cad, cheap

    For what it’s worth, a lot of the CAD softwares listed are built on the InterlliCAD consortium platform. This video is a bit long and is focused on Carlsons adaption of IntelliCAD but the beginning of it goes over the history of the “alternative” CADs. Intellicad Overview Link. For my day job...

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    Glad you got it going. Sounds like and looks like it is a 6K spindle based on the error resolving once K02 was aligned with the proper option. Also, with the additional photos it looks like that extra solenoid bank may be some type of MQL unit. The small cylinder with the set screw pipe plug...

    Mori Seiki - MV Junior Oil Air Lubricating Unit Error

    Sorry for all the extra points, I agree completely; I would disregard everything except the 10K spindle at this point. I think that is where your issue may lay, since that is what the current alarm is for. It may be a physical/mechanical/electrical problem with the air/oil system or it may be a...
