I am finally getting a cnc lathe. Found a running driving machine I think will be good for my shop. It's an early Mori SL4 with the yasnac 2000G with crt. It's not in my shop yet so I am doing some more homework on it while I wait to go get it. It comes with the programming and machine operation manuals, didn't think to look if there are wiring schematics in there too..
Anyway, one question I have is, the date plate has the serial number for the machine, but the Date is not filled out. How do I tell or know the year on my machine? Serial number is 767.
Other than a couple buttons missing the tops, I think the only thing that doesn't work correctly is the MPG handwheel. It works sometimes, but mostly doesn't. I have an extra handwheel off a Fanuc OM machine, any chance that might work? I am hoping a cleaning will bring the handwheel back to life.
I have read all the 2000G threads I can find on here and also most of the G50 posts, so hopefully I can learn it fairly quick. I haven't ran a cnc lathe in 20 years and I was just a parts loader then but I am excited to be getting one.
Thanks for any help.
