I have an old (1983) MAZAK V7.5 with a FANUC 6M controller. When it runs in automatic mode (single block OFF), it runs OK until it reads a G01 code. At that point, the “MACHINE FUSE” light on the...

Hi,

The machine is a Mazak Slant Turn 15 Universal 1000 with a Fanuc 6T Control (year 1983)

After it's been turned on, the MOTOR Alarm Light comes on (On the controller). It can come on at...

Thanks roysol,

We are a college but we also have a kind of R&D department where we do some machining for prototypes and also to promote the benefits of various CNC machines. 5axes mill, lathes,...

Can any one fill me in on a ball park figure on what is the hourly rate charged to do Wire EDM'ing and/or Die Sinking.

Thanks

I have an old Mazak ST-15 with FANUC 6T and the chuck ID/OD switch is located (hidden) in the rear electronics panel. Not very handy. That's all I can tell you.
You would think that with the...

Here are parameters for a Mazak ST-15 with FANUC 6T (1982)

You can use the wear register in tool offset geometry and add or subtract whatever value to the tool lenght offset. The good thing is that your original lenght offset stays the same. This way, you...

I have a VF-2 with Programmable Coolant and Probing, would'nt think of ordering another one without thoses options.

It's a 1982 Mazak V 7.5 with a FANUC 6M control.

It uses a G45 and negative value offsets a typical program start would be as follows:

O1111(/P FACEPLATE)
N20T07
N30M06T00
N40G00G20G17G90...

Any alarms? On 6M, tool lenght offset are stored in registers 01 to 99. To apply TLO, G90 G45 Z1.0 H01

What is your problem?

Part probing or tool offset probing.

I have part probing and tool offset probing on a VF-2. Ordered VM-6 with the same options. They save a lot of time.

The tool offset probe might take up...

On mills, Feedrate is in inch/minute or mm/minute.

On lathe, feedrate can be feed per rev (G99) or feed per minute (G98)

I verified your program on my Haas Simulator after renumbering it so I could tell you where I got alarms.

With cutter comp type FANUC, I got around the whole profile with .088 radial offset. At...

Basic check but, have you checked you lead in move? Is your post generating part coordinates or tool center coordinates. If from part coordinates then lead in move must be larger than tool radius. If...

Hi Jim,

I have a Mazak Mill with Fanuc 6M. In order to upload, I have to drop the % and leave a blank line (Enter) before the program number line. I leave the % after the M30.

You can always...

The parameters that were disturbed from my power glitch, were 361 ad 362.

I fixed all my Gibbs geometry creation problems by switching to MastercamX.

And I'm very much happy with it.

Monday morning, I will check in my book for my Mazak V7.5 wih Fanuc 6M control. I Had a similar problem ad it was a parameter issue. I have been told that it was caused by a power glitch (whatever...

Thank you for the info.

Hi Jeff,

I have a Mazak V7.5 with a Fanuc 6M Controller.

Tool offset registers are from 1 to 99. It has a 30 tools magazine so I use registers 1 to 30 for imperial tool length offset (H), 31 to...

Have anyone heard of an X tool offset entered in the register as a radial value, or is it always diametral?
