Hi dratypical,

How did things work for you with the chip swap/setup?

Ian

OK, the mill cabinet is too close to the wall, so it's difficult to open it far enough to get a good look at how I wired it, but I did find some pics that should answer things for you.

The section...

Glad to help. You're correct, just remove the other two IC's that the board comes with and plug these in instead. Don't forget to orient them the same way! (Sorry, don't know how used to electronics...

I did a little digging, and I found the order from Newark Electronics for the part(s) that I needed to do what Mariss said. It's Newark's PN:67K0988. It's a 14 pin hex inverter that you swap in 2...

Hi dratypical,

I don't remember exactly what I did, but I seem to remember changing out some chips on Hillbilly's board and removing and jumpering the sockets of the opto-isolators. It had...

Thanks Haas_Man,

I lucked out and found a NIB Bijur TM5 pump for a steal on Ebay (where else?). I bought all of the missing parts on the Air/Lube panel and have installed everything but not...

Hi Alan,

Glad to know where your site currently resides too. I checked out your résumé on your site-very impressive!

May I make a request concerning the site? It's hard to know when you've...

Haas_Man,

Have you had a chance to look for any info yet? Please PM me if you find out anything. Thanks!
Ian

Haas Man,

You may be right about better prices from Haas, but I'm already spending so much money that I wouldn't mind buying some used equivalent components if I can find them. Thanks for your...

Haas Man,

Any chance you have the Bijur's model number for the lube tank/pump? The Haas PN was 36-3090B but that was superseded by PN 93-1195.

For that matter, any of the manufacturers part...

That certainly does help, but now I want to take a nap. Looks like I'm missing quite a bit. We'll see what it costs to replace it and take things from there.

Thanks a lot for the detailed...

Here are the pics of the back of my mill. As I mentioned above, I'm almost sure that the plug that you can see dangling at the RH side of pic 1 is related to the coolant pump system. You may also...

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been out of town for a couple of days. I stopped and took some pictures of the mill, but they're all too large to post up here. If you PM me, I can reply...

I was afraid of that. If I understood the tech correctly, I need to pull the TRP and look down the bore it occupied. If I see a copper tube, it's an oil cooled spindle. Obviously, if I see grease,...

Matt, you're right- the year might help. It's a '91 machine machine I think. I have contacted Haas about this, and they were very helpful, but they wanted me to determine what type of spindle this...

I just got a Haas VF0-E mill that was the 'parts queen' at it's previous home, so I've got my work cut out for me trying to determine what used to be where, and what's not working as it should.
...

Bob,

As one would expect, you beat me to your own source of information!

I just watched the Haas Powerpoint presentation last night, as linked to from your thoroughly entertaining and...

Here are the directions taken from the Mechanical Manual

"Installation
1) Ensure that the lower roller hex fasteners are tight and the upper roller fasteners are loose and in the middle of their...

Hi Rob,

You are correct sir! I'd looked everywhere for them without success. Once I knew what they were called they were easy to find :) Then I realized that I am also missing the switches that...

Hi Guys,

I'd like to replace some missing cables for my VF0-E (very similar to a VF-2). I am trying to find the name of the connector style that is used on the some of the tool changer...

Thanks very much for the quick and thorough response! I'll get to work putting one of these together. Incidentally, what version VMC was this off of?

Ian

Hi Guys,

I'm picking up my first Haas VMC (a VF0-E) which I'm told is the same as a VF-2, but without the gearbox. The problem is, I don't have the original shipping blocks to prevent damage...

Ozzie,

I gotta say, that is a thing of beauty! :cheers:

Mr. Technical

Al, thanks for the reply and not snickering while you did it. That has got to be one of the stupidest questions I've ever asked!

I know the odds of anyone knowing this are slim, but I'm looking for the current rating needed to actuate the spindle brake solenoid on a Series I Boss 6 Bridgeport. I want to buy a 24VDC power...

Thanks for the replies. It jogged something in my consciousness. The original system sent the command to start the spindle and release the brake at the same time. I seem to remember the motor...

Hi,

I just bought a VFD from Hitachi (SJ200-015NFU2) and am running my BP Series I spindle from it with no problems. I would like to retain the air brake system since I need it to stop the...

Hi dynamotive,

There may be another option that I don't know if you've considered. You say that the controller is getting flaky on your mill. I had the same problem with my Series I. I got a...

Thanks for the quick response Himykabibble, but I need to point out a couple of things. I was not referring to the optos on the Gecko drivers themselves, rather the optos on the breakout board that...

Hi Vogavt,

I'm certainly no electronics genius either, but I can answer one of your questions below. Resistors in series are additive, i.e two 100 ohm resisters placed end to end gives you a...
