Hello,
I am new to the forum here and was hoping for some help. I recently acquired a Hardinge Superslant 3 axis turning center with a General Numeric GN6TC controller. I know nothing about this dinosaur and cant find much about it online. I don't have any manuals with the machine and have had no luck getting them from Hardinge. I know very little about the history of the machine other than it was supposedly taken out of service 2 years ago and sold as part of a lot of machines. I recently bought it from the guy that bought the lot of machines (the others being manual machines)since he doesn't know anything about cnc (more of a fab shop).
When I power up the machine it says SYSTEM ERROR (TOOL POST 1) 910
Sometimes when powered up the CRT will loose horizontal sync, sometime it locks back in, other times it doesn't.
I could be very wrong but don't believe the 910 to be a Fanuc RAM parity error (low byte) because the 4 LEDs on the PC board show flashing, off, off, off which should indicate faulty RAMs have NOT been detected. It shows nothing before the system error (will include a pic of the screen) and no combination of keys seems to do anything. I do have a couple original pages that were in the controller cabinet that has the gn 6t parameter table tur1 and tur2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
