I've just stumbled across a mob called Deva that does PCI or USB interface cards. I've sent them an email to see what they have to say about my specific case.

Deva Electronics - Manual CMM...

Sweet. I'll look into it. Being before your time I would assume you don't, but have you got any idea if the retrofit required replacing scales or anything like that? or is it just some sort of...

Hey guys,

Just won this bad boy at auction:

It's a Hansford rapid check...

Hey everyone,

I've always gotten these little blips of rev drop, which isn't a massive deal, but if there's a few blips together on a high load operation it'll drop the revs further and possibly...

have you tried reversing the phasing on your incoming wiring? you may have the phasing wrong, which in turn will spin the hydraulic pump backwards.

hey guys,

I'm currently making inquiries about an M+ FJV-25 with a pallet changer. (Used mazak FJV 25 CNC Machining Centre in Acacia RIdge, QLD Price: $49,500)

firstly, is there anything...

i've also noticed when it faults to this state, it will be showing all the LED's as soon as i hit the on button - in the other state it looks fine until the drives try to power up (i assume that's...

sometimes it'll come up in this fault state as well. with it in this state i can press the reset hardware button on the board and it will then show a normal state, but the machine is still faulted...

have you got the transformer tapped correctly for 240v?

could be the screen not working. try home the machine (lever to x neg and z neg if it already up near the home position) This will show you if the machine is "ON" and the screen just isn't working
...

who hasn't been there :P

when you first turn the main breaker some fans and whatnot should start up and you should have an LED lit on the "off" button on the controller. do you have this?

Hey guys,

I'm having issues with one of the servo amps on my VQC20-40a (M2)

It will intermittently not work on startup. the fault condition can be seen in the photo below, but basically i've...

VICTORY!!!! I had to throw in an M518 (complete cutoff during interlocking) after the parting op. Now to set my offsets properly and run some parts!

When single blocking through i've found that it is the M512 (interlock end) that it gives last and then it's on the next step that it pauses - like it's not getting a confirmation back or something?...

haha. yeah nearly all the way... about 200mm left in there and i still had to press it out. You can see in the pic of what was left how shitty it was.
...

So I ended up boring it basically all the way out. I'm now back up and running with a new draw tube.... What a shit job that was!

Anyone had more thoughts on this?

Another thing that would be great is Synchronous tapping - i mean, the machine has 2 full c axis, and can sync the heads with each other, so surely it has the...

Hey guys,

Just trying to put together my first bar transfer/part off type program on my mp630 and i'm stuck (or the machine is) at the end of the parting line - it just sits there after the part...

I think he should say BOOM at the end of every sentence :P

You'll be sweet with mazatrol for all that stuff Mick.

Send me the details of the machines your looking at and I'll give you my thoughts on them if you like.

Cheers,
Trav

Couldn't find one locally sadly (I live in a rural City in Victoria, Australia)

Sigh... I've caved in... At least I can get 75*90 honed hydraulic cylinder, so making a new draw tube should be relatively straight forward (put a thread on each end and celebrate)

Yeah I tried cranking the pressure and got basically nothing out of it.

I'll see how I go tomorrow before I resort to anything drastic.
