Hello

I purchased an edm, it didn't came with manuals.

I tried to contact GF (Agie charmills), no luck with that yet.

Does anybody know how to make it work this machine or who can help me with the manuals?

Any help is welcome
 
Pretty basic machine... Unfortunately that means the operator needs to know a lot about EDM.
What do you need help with?

I believe GF no longer supports that vintage.
Getting parts will be extremely difficult as well.

Hello

The machine is working.:cheers:

I can home the machine and set the electrode height:willy_nilly:

About the JOB parameters, I don´t have guide for this.:wall:

Also I will like to change to metric the visualization.

The owners manual will be great.

I can possibly supply you with a manual for this machine. Do you have any EDM background?
I have been servicing these machines ever since they first came on the market.

It is according to what software version you have as to where you change from inch to metric.
put your cursor on the upper left corner of the screen. Press 8, press enter, move the cursor to the upper right corner of the screen where inch or metric is displayed. Press the INC DATA key on the keypad. See if your display flip flops to the opposite measurement system.
 
Good to know that GFMS still supports Mondos.
Can you help me please with the manual ?
I know it is not free.
Also, the machine didn't came with the hand control(handbox). I maybe can make one if it only receive ON/OFF signals. If you have the electrical schematics will be great.

Hello
Please anyone can give me some help about a problem with an Agie Elox Mondo 2 with Futura IV control.
The problem is when the machine starts an Erosion, it will go down and with the first spark it will retract to safe position. NO ERROR MESSAGES on page 4
Some times the machine is working OK but it will retract suddenly and It will keep doing that.
I will appreciate any adviceafter stops.jpg
 
A few things to try:
1) The board to the far right is called DTR. The LED
being on might be a problem. Try running settings
with ACO parameter at 0. If problem stops you have
a defective DTR board.
2) Also what does the voltmeter read on the machine?
When it goes into erosion it should show greater than 100v.
If it does not, your polarity contactor could be not pulling in
all the time (bad coil).
3) There is a slight issue with the Mondos with the paddle switches
that check whether the fans in the resistor box (in back of control
unit). If these switches "bounce" they can cause erosion issues.
To test, disconnect paddle switches next to fans. Make sure fans
are running before doing so
 
Hello. I think the problem is the TouchPad keyboard. Some times I have to disconnect the bus connector so the machine can work, after I push start cycle. If I Want to stop I only need to reconnect the keyboard and the machine will stop.
